Adding WiFi to RP2040 Scorpio

Post by macewmi »

I'm new to the Feather/FeatherWing ecosystem and need to confirm my understanding.

I want to use Scorpio to control several strands of of LEDs, but the data is real-time and comes from the internet. Can I use an Adafruit AirLift FeatherWing – ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor PID: 4264 to add WiFi.

Do I attach the Wing right on top of the Scorpio using the appropriate header pins? And all the programming is done on the Scorpio -- which will communicate with the Wing.

Do I have that right? Thanks in advance.

I don't see any reason why the Feather AirLift ESP32 would cause a conflict. The SPI bus it requires is available.

It would probably be easier to use a Feather doubler with the RP2040 Scorpio so you can access the 8x I/O header easily.

Is the DAC on the ESP32 S2 accessible via the AirLift Feather Wing (electrically and via CircuitPython)?

No DAC on the ESP32-S2 with CircuitPython.
