micro-ROS on Arduino Portenta H7

We have added WiFi to the transports supported by micro-ROS on the Arduino Portenta H7!


This builds upon the already outstanding news of the primordial port accomplished over the wired Serial (UART) and Serial-USB connections.

This is great news for the small turtle, as, until recently, most ports did not support wireless connection (namely, before this, we only had the Client running over WiFi on the ESP32, and over 6LoWPAN on the Olimex LTD STM32-E407 - check out relevant applications here and here).
Moreover, the fact that the fortunate bearer of such a convenient transport is the Portenta paves the way for timely and profitable integrations, such as the one with the freshly announced ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL Shield.

Find here an example on how to program a micro-ROS application on the Portenta using WiFi.
