[Documentation] WiFi usage is not documented #142

Apparently M5Stack-SD-Updater can download stuff via WiFi.

However it's not described how WiFi is set up. It just times out.

I suspect it just works when PSRAM Preferences WIFI_SSID and WIFI_PASSWD are set correctly.

I managed to set them up via SetWiFi_Mic.

There is also https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/examples/Advanced/WiFiSetting/WiFiSetting.ino That should be included in the SD Card content.

And the Updater should detect it if whose Preferences are missing and explain (on screen) how to set them.

hey @tbaumann thanks for your feedback

There's no UI for WiFi setup, the launcher just assumes your ESP32 had a previous successful connection to a WiFi network and will re-use these credentials transparently.

Flashing a basic WiFi sketch and connecting once successfully, then reflashing the launcher example should do it.

Graceful fail and some explanation how to fix it would help a lot in case there is no WiFi config. ;)

Thanks

Closing this as wontfix, wifi manager can still be used an an external application and is better kept outside the SD-Menu.

Feel free to add some followup e.g. if you have a specific WiFi-Manager to recommend / test.
