Used to enable WiFi access to pico W projects without the need to hardcode credentials. Especially useful for projects that are going to be moving around or for when you don't know the WiFi at build time.
mip.install("github:PedroAraoz/WifiManager/wifimanager.py")Download the wifimanager.py file and upload it to your pico with Thonny or MicroPico
Tries to load credentials from the credentials file. If they are not present or if they are incorrect, it will create an access point in which you can connect and through a webpage, load the credentials to be saved in plaintext.
There is NO security or encryption anywhere - use at your own risk!
You can change the default ssid and password for the access point and also the timeout of how many seconds the manager will wait to connect to WiFi before starting the access point.
# Configure custom credentials and timeout
WiFiManager(
ssid='YourCustomSSID',
password='YourCustomPassword',
timeout=20 #seconds
)The website that the access point creates can modified by changing the _webpage() method. You can style it to your preference.
