Soft AP Mode
The AVR-IoT WG development board can be accessed through a Wi-Fi access point enabled by the
Software-Enabled Access mode of the WINC1510. This can be another way to connect the board to a
Wi-Fi network. To enter Soft AP mode, press and hold the SW0 push button before plugging the board.
When connecting to this access point for the first time, the user will need to set the SSID and password of
the network to which they are connected, as shown in
. The user should enter these details
and then press the
Connect
button. The board is now connected to the network.

Migrating to a private Google Cloud account
Once the user is satisfied with the features and capabilities demonstrated by the AVR-IoT WG board,
more information can be obtained by accessing the AVR-IoT WG sandbox. At the bottom of the
webpage, under the “What’s Next” section, the user can find the “Graduate to the full Cloud IoT
Core” experience option. Clicking the
Graduate
button unregisters the board from the Microchip sandbox
account and transfers the users to a GitHub repository, containing the tutorials and files needed to
connect the AVR-IoT WG board to the user’s own Google Cloud account.
