This book shows how adding WiFi to the Raspberry Pi Pico turns this low-cost, small form factor device into a true IoT device. Harry Fairhead explains how the extra capabilities added to the Pico W open up loads of opportunities, but only if you are prepared to do battle with the two libraries that provide networking and security – Lightweight Internet Protocol (lwIP) and Mbed Transport Layer Security (mbedTLS), respectively. This book provides a guide to these libraries along with examples of what you can do with them - information that isn't readily available. This second edition has been updated to cover the second generation Pico 2W as well as the original Pico W and has been extended to cover FreeRTOS, which offers significant advantages when working with lwIP and mbedTLS.
