Can it remember connection details?

Post by pythoncoder » Tue Aug 08, 2017 5:01 am

I'm new to the ESP32. One apparent difference from the ESP8266 is that the latter will store WiFi credentials in Flash so it will automatically reconnect after a power cycle or after a WiFi outage.

On my quick testing the ESP32 does not do this. Is this by design or because the port is under development? Is this feature on the roadmap? I'd appreciate any clarification.

[EDIT]
After studying GitHub the answer appears to be that the ESP32 doesn't do this natively. The network API is still under discussion https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/2620.
