Hello Sara, this is very helpful, thank you. I had a little trouble for the ESP32 to connect to my home network because the password includes a “+”, which was recorded as “%2B” and rejected by my home network. For those with non-alphanumeric characters in SSID or password, take note of the way it is recorded (in the log) and change it back just before “wlan_sta.connect(ssid, password)” in wifimgr.py.

Thx for another great tutorial! Why do you recommend to use Thonny IDE or uPyCraft IDE instead of VSC for micro python?

The device remembers a successful connection. If you always want a new connection, check out my code posted here:

Hi.
I suggest copying everything from the boot.py to the beginning of the main.py file.

Sara,
Thank you for the great tutorials. I am struggling with integrating this code and concept into a project that monitors a sensor.

My board seems to always boot as a station even after I have removed the credentials from the code. I don’t ever get it to boot as an AP.

Can you offer any suggestions?

All of this occurs within the boot.py file which loops continually reading the sensor, posting to a remote database, and sleeping for 3 minutes. A

Hi Sara, Great Tutorial, many thanks.

I’m wanting to join a network that requires a client-id as well as SSID and password. Can you offer any guidance and how this might be achieved?

Thanks
Ged

Hi.
Make sure you’re typing the write SSID and password – take into account uppercase and lowercase.
Additionally, make sure you don’t add any extra spaces.
