# Pico W - Wi-Fi and HTTP request example
A project for [Raspberry Pi Pico W](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html) to:
- connect to Wi-Fi
- send HTTP request to server
- receive response, decode it and print it
## Prerequisites
Follow installation instructions for [Kaluma.js](https://kalumajs.org).
Flash the Pico W with the [Kaluma firmware](https://kalumajs.org/docs/getting-started#install-firmware).
## Install dependencies
```bash
npm ci
```
## Configure Wi-Fi
To connect to Wi-Fi, you need to create a `wifi.json` file in the project's root directory.
Copy `wifi.json.example` to `wifi.json` and edit it to match your Wi-Fi network settings.
## Run it
> **Note**
> Ensure your Pico W is connected to your computer via USB and you have flashed the Kaluma firmware.
Bundle the code and flash it to the Pico W:
```bash
npm start
```
The program will connect to Wi-Fi, send an HTTP request to server, receive response, print response, and then exit.
To exit the remote shell, press `Ctrl + z`.
### Flash and bundle manually
```bash
kaluma flash ./index.js --bundle --shell
```
