Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency. The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this commit intends to help clear that up. As a first approximation MicroPython is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same name, to a first approximation. The u-version of a module is a detail that can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have finer control over importing. Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code. With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of the minimal ports). And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py" continues to work well. Signed-off-by: Jim Mussared <jim.mussared@gmail.com>

class WLAN -- control built-in WiFi interfaces
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
This class provides a driver for WiFi network processors. Example usage::
|
|
|
|
import network
|
|
# enable station interface and connect to WiFi access point
|
|
nic = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
|
|
nic.active(True)
|
|
nic.connect('your-ssid', 'your-password')
|
|
# now use sockets as usual
|
|
|
|
Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
.. class:: WLAN(interface_id)
|
|
|
|
Create a WLAN network interface object. Supported interfaces are
|
|
``network.STA_IF`` (station aka client, connects to upstream WiFi access
|
|
points) and ``network.AP_IF`` (access point, allows other WiFi clients to
|
|
connect). Availability of the methods below depends on interface type.
|
|
For example, only STA interface may `WLAN.connect()` to an access point.
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.active([is_active])
|
|
|
|
Activate ("up") or deactivate ("down") network interface, if boolean
|
|
argument is passed. Otherwise, query current state if no argument is
|
|
provided. Most other methods require active interface.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.connect(ssid=None, password=None, *, bssid=None)
|
|
|
|
Connect to the specified wireless network, using the specified password.
|
|
If *bssid* is given then the connection will be restricted to the
|
|
access-point with that MAC address (the *ssid* must also be specified
|
|
in this case).
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.disconnect()
|
|
|
|
Disconnect from the currently connected wireless network.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.scan()
|
|
|
|
Scan for the available wireless networks.
|
|
Hidden networks -- where the SSID is not broadcast -- will also be scanned
|
|
if the WLAN interface allows it.
|
|
|
|
Scanning is only possible on STA interface. Returns list of tuples with
|
|
the information about WiFi access points:
|
|
|
|
(ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, authmode, hidden)
|
|
|
|
*bssid* is hardware address of an access point, in binary form, returned as
|
|
bytes object. You can use `binascii.hexlify()` to convert it to ASCII form.
|
|
|
|
There are five values for authmode:
|
|
|
|
* 0 -- open
|
|
* 1 -- WEP
|
|
* 2 -- WPA-PSK
|
|
* 3 -- WPA2-PSK
|
|
* 4 -- WPA/WPA2-PSK
|
|
|
|
and two for hidden:
|
|
|
|
* 0 -- visible
|
|
* 1 -- hidden
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.status([param])
|
|
|
|
Return the current status of the wireless connection.
|
|
|
|
When called with no argument the return value describes the network link status.
|
|
The possible statuses are defined as constants:
|
|
|
|
* ``STAT_IDLE`` -- no connection and no activity,
|
|
* ``STAT_CONNECTING`` -- connecting in progress,
|
|
* ``STAT_WRONG_PASSWORD`` -- failed due to incorrect password,
|
|
* ``STAT_NO_AP_FOUND`` -- failed because no access point replied,
|
|
* ``STAT_CONNECT_FAIL`` -- failed due to other problems,
|
|
* ``STAT_GOT_IP`` -- connection successful.
|
|
|
|
When called with one argument *param* should be a string naming the status
|
|
parameter to retrieve. Supported parameters in WiFI STA mode are: ``'rssi'``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.isconnected()
|
|
|
|
In case of STA mode, returns ``True`` if connected to a WiFi access
|
|
point and has a valid IP address. In AP mode returns ``True`` when a
|
|
station is connected. Returns ``False`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
|
|
|
|
Get/set IP-level network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask,
|
|
gateway and DNS server. When called with no arguments, this method returns
|
|
a 4-tuple with the above information. To set the above values, pass a
|
|
4-tuple with the required information. For example::
|
|
|
|
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
|
|
|
|
.. method:: WLAN.config('param')
|
|
WLAN.config(param=value, ...)
|
|
|
|
Get or set general network interface parameters. These methods allow to work
|
|
with additional parameters beyond standard IP configuration (as dealt with by
|
|
`WLAN.ifconfig()`). These include network-specific and hardware-specific
|
|
parameters. For setting parameters, keyword argument syntax should be used,
|
|
multiple parameters can be set at once. For querying, parameters name should
|
|
be quoted as a string, and only one parameter can be queries at time::
|
|
|
|
# Set WiFi access point name (formally known as ESSID) and WiFi channel
|
|
ap.config(essid='My AP', channel=11)
|
|
# Query params one by one
|
|
print(ap.config('essid'))
|
|
print(ap.config('channel'))
|
|
|
|
Following are commonly supported parameters (availability of a specific parameter
|
|
depends on network technology type, driver, and :term:`MicroPython port`).
