WiFi.ping() function on WiFiS3 library doesn't exist

[gpb01]

The WiFi.ping() function, that exists in the library WiFiNINA, doesn't exist in the WiFiS3 library and there is no way to ICMP ping network devices.

Can you please add such a function?

I have spend time to add PING. it requires changes to both the UNOR4Bridge software as well as the WiFiS3 library. In the attached zip is a document with the changes to be applied. Also the files that need changes are included for reference.
WiFiPing.zip

Hi Paul,
thanks a lot for your work, but ... if you don't create a "fork" and do an official "pull request" ... I don't know if the Arduino team will consider it ... :-\

hi Guglielmo,
I had considered doing that, but I am not sure the Arduino Team is interested. Several other pending bridge issues could be solved and some don't look that difficult to solve. I was doing this exercise to understand how the bridge software is working. It took longer time to get started as good documentation was missing and different links & scripts were outdated.

regards,
Paul

@paulvha they are interested. I have now 22 PR merged in core and 3 in the firmware

I have made a fork and pull request now. I also saw noticed update to the partition table for the ESP32 (i used the latest version from yesterday). I have made a pull request for the firmware and will add one for the core. Did you also solve the getTime() issue 206?

regards
Paul

I just got my first R4 and am very excited to try this out. Thanks for the pull request, hope it will be accepted.
