This shield uses an ESP32 as a WiFi co-processor, handling all the heavy lifting of network connections and TLS/SSL encryption so your main microcontroller can focus on your application logic. The ESP32 communicates over 8 MHz SPI for high-speed data transfer, requiring just an SPI bus and 2 control pins. It comes pre-programmed with WiFi co-processor firmware (a variant of Arduino WiFiNINA) and has root certificates pre-burned in for secure HTTPS connections. The shield also includes a microSD card socket for data storage or hosting content retrieved from the Internet. Key Features ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor – Handles WiFi networking and TLS/SSL encryption 8 MHz SPI Interface – High-speed communication with just SPI + 2 control pins Pre-Programmed Firmware – Ready to use out of the box with Arduino and CircuitPython TLS/SSL Support – Root certificates pre-burned for secure connections MicroSD Card Socket – For data storage and hosting 3V and 5V Compatible – On-board 3.3V regulator for the ESP32 Shared SPI Bus – Tri-state MOSI allows sharing with other shields Arduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly into Arduino-compatible boards Compatibility Arduino – Works with Metro M0, M4 and similar (recommended for best results). ATmega328-based boards can do basic connectivity but have limited RAM. CircuitPython – Requires Metro M4 or equivalent SAMD51/Cortex M4 minimum SD Card – ATmega328-based boards cannot use both WiFi and SD card simultaneously due to RAM limitations Also Available AirLift ESP32 WiFi Breakout – Universal breakout for any microcontroller AirLift FeatherWing – Feather form factor version AirLift Bitsy Add-On – Compact version for ItsyBitsy boards Ideal For Adding WiFi to Arduino projects IoT data logging with SD card storage Web API integrations Secure HTTPS communication Package Contents 1× Adafruit AirLift Shield (assembled and tested) 1× Header strip Note: Arduino board and microSD card not included. Enterprise WiFi is not supported. Power supply must provide up to 250 mA during WiFi usage. Some light soldering required to attach the included headers. **Product Type:** physical ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCOjxJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--e3536d05a96359786f53a3952f24fe78d6672131/image_f08c1034-763b-4fef-a033-d85a365beeea.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCOzxJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--130161b3c5c7ac908ebf1103bbeb941d925544f1/image_7297894a-aae8-4cad-9b20-0446e92a6871.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCPDxJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--1a22d7ddb0443df3b11aeadb88880a0f9bba0efe/image_7398799c-1ba6-4043-88d3-a427d083600f.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCPTxJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--845cc5ce6464c0d7a621f36ef6e8bdee54624f81/image_b624bacb-a655-449d-ba37-3d0caed4dd5d.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCPjxJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--a957a8558bbc3cb948d1dccac695a76f76f9c743/image_2bfd8b45-732c-4b89-8ab6-8a9a9aaf1d16.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
