Title wording[edit]

Primary recommendation: Based on the content of this article, it probably should be renamed to a "List of Wi-Fi microcontrollers".

Secondary recommendation: Change article title to "Wi-Fi microcontroller".

Rationale:

"WiFi" should be written as "Wi-Fi".
"Microcontroller" is better than "MCU" for encyclopedic article titling. (Initialisms can be cryptic.)
Title brevity.

However, presently, the content of this article is really a list of Wi-Fi microcontrollers rather than an article about the topic of Wi-Fi microcontrollers.

Related thought: A more general category of "Wireless communication microcontrollers" may be desirable, in which case there might be sub-categories of "Bluetooth microcontrollers", "Wi-Fi microcontrollers", "Cellular microcontrollers", etc.

Update: Change in title completed.

Clean-up & organization[edit]

This article needs significant work on it. It's poorly structured, poorly worded, and is wanting. However, with the explosion of IoT devices using low-cost Wi-Fi microcontrollers, this list seems relevant for continued existence.

Added package for Cypress Microcontroller.

Missing from list[edit]

Texas Instruments CC3100MOD is likely the precursor to the CC3200, but it's not listed. According to the N3 Wi-Fi bill of materials, it was integrated into the Netduino. Does it belong on the same line as CC3200? https://www.ti.com/wireless-connectivity/wi-fi/overview.html makes it more clear. 31x0 requires an external MCU, it's just for the TCP/IP stack. It does list 32x5 chips which are dual band. Maybe those should actually be listed.
