Wipy - Wifi selection at startup

Oliv'

I recently bought a Wipy development board to try MicroPython as a friend of mine is a big fan, and I whet a TI CC3200 (ARM Cortex-M4+wifi) development board even if I prefer to develop it in C.

Here is just a snippet allowing to ground or set to 3.3V GP4 in order to connect to home WLAN or set the card as an access point. Great for on-the-go development!

# boot.py -- run on boot-up
# can run arbitrary Python, but best to keep it minimal

# Import libraries
from machine import Pin
from network import WLAN

# Set variables
staSsid = 'ssidToConnect'
staPassword = 'password'
apSsid = 'ssidInAccessPoint'
apPassword = 'passwordMoreThan8char'


# Declare Pin
p_select = Pin( 'GP5', mode=Pin.IN )

# Select Wifi mode regarding Pin state
if p_select.value() == 1:
        wlan = WLAN( mode=WLAN.AP )
        wlan.init( mode=WLAN.AP, ssid=apSsid, auth=(WLAN.WPA2,apPassword), channel=7, antenna=WLAN.INT_ANT )
else:
        wlan = WLAN( mode=WLAN.STA )
        nets = wlan.scan()
        for net in nets:
                if net.ssid == staSsid:
                        wlan.connect( net.ssid, auth=(net.sec, staPassword), timeout=5000 )
                        while not wlan.isconnected():
                                # Save power while waiting
                                machine.idle()
                        print( 'WLAN connection succeeded!' )
                        break
