Simplified access and management of WLAN networks in Micropython.
Based on the original network
module, this library simplifies some of the cumbersome operations, such as:
- Documentation for the original module can be inconvenient to access, but with this library, the documentation is included as code comments.
- Prior to using certain features, the original module requires calling
active(True)
. Now, with this library, it's not necessary as the program will automatically handle it. - As a client: Previously, when connected to a WLAN network, attempting to connect to another network would result in an error. The library simplifies this process by allowing direct switching of networks using
connect('ssid', 'password')
. - As an access point (AP): When using an encrypted SSID, the original module required setting the
key
before setting thesecurity
. However, with this library, it's possible to directly set thessid
andkey
.
- Micropython 1.20 or higher
# Example: Creating an access point (AP) #
from lib.easynetwork import AP
# Create an AP
ap = AP()
ap.config(ssid='ssid', key='password') # SSID is the network name, key is the password. If no password is provided, the network is open. If password is specified, it is automatically set as an encrypted network.
ap.config(key='password2') # Change the password
ap.config(key='') # Disable the password
ap.active(True) # Enable the AP
ap.active(False) # Disable the AP
# Example: Connecting to a network #
from lib.easynetwork import Client
# Scan for wireless networks (example)
print(client.scan())
# [(b'QWERTY', b'\xfc\xa0Z\x03\r\xf6', 6, -29, 4, False), (b'UIOP_2G', b'\x94\x83\xc4"(\xf5', 6, -30, 3, False)
client.connect('ssid', 'password') # For an open network, no password parameter is required or password can be left empty.
# Check if the network is connected
print(client.isconnected())
# True
# Disconnect from the network
client.disconnect()
