Can I use QWIIC to add Wifi to a bbc micro:bit?

Qwiic System

Hi there,

I’m trying to build a connected weather station following the micro:climate tutorial.

I have the SparkFun weather:bit carrier board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15837

Can I use something like the ESP32 Qwiic Pro Mini as a Wifi module by connecting it to the weather:bit carrier board using the Qwiic connector (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23386)? I am aiming to have the weather station log straight to a cloud service, ideally without having to relay through a 2nd micro over radio.

If so, would greatly appreciate any guides or pointers on how to get started!

Sure - just be sure to do the esp32 WiFi example after you get started, then pass the weather data to the esp32 and send that upstream to wherever
