Step 3: Using your module

Now that you have a connected module and all the required software installed it is time to

begin programming your device. This part of the guide will get you started with a basic

example and point you in the right direction for getting your device connected to your chosen

network.

Step 4: Connecting to a network

Now that you familiar with programming your device you will no doubt be keen to get it

connected to one of the advertised wireless networks. This usually requires some

registration. This step will detail how to get registered and connected to various wireless

networks.
