Materials

  • AmebaD [AMB21 / AMB22 / AMB23 / BW16] x 1

Example

In this example, we use Ameba to be a web client to retrieve Informations from the Internet.
First, make sure the correct Ameba development board is selected in “Tools” → “Board”
Then open “File” → “Examples” → “WiFi” → “WiFiWebClient”
