## Description

Add WiFi connectivity to your Arduino-compatible board with the Adafruit WINC1500 WiFi Shield, featuring the FCC-certified ATWINC1500 module from Atmel. This 802.11b/g/n shield supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption with TLS 1.2 for secure connections, and communicates over SPI at speeds up to 12 MHz. The shield includes onboard level shifting for 3V or 5V logic boards, a 3.3V regulator rated for 300 mA spikes, three user-controllable LEDs, and a microSD card socket for data storage or hosting. This version features a built-in PCB antenna. Works best with SAMD21-based boards like the Metro M0 Express or Arduino Zero; also compatible with Arduino Mega. Key Features 802.11b/g/n WiFi – WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption with TLS 1.2 support SPI Communication – Up to 12 MHz clock speed for fast, reliable data streaming Soft AP Mode – Create ad-hoc networks for direct device connections Built-in PCB Antenna – No external antenna required 3V & 5V Compatible – Onboard level shifting and 3.3V regulator (handles 300 mA spikes) MicroSD Card Socket – Store or host data (requires SAMD21-based board for simultaneous WiFi + SD use) 3× Status LEDs – Controllable via SPI or Arduino library for connection and data indicators Ideal For IoT projects requiring WiFi connectivity Secure web client applications with TLS 1.2 Data logging to SD card from cloud services Wireless sensor networks and home automation Package Contents 1× Adafruit WINC1500 WiFi Shield with PCB Antenna Note: ATmega328-based boards (like Arduino UNO) can use this shield but have limited memory — simultaneous WiFi and SD card use is not possible. For best results, use a SAMD21-based board such as the Metro M0 Express. Resources Adafruit Learn Guide
