Hosting an LAN on the ESP32

Post by AwesomeCronk » Fri Oct 18, 2019 2:27 am

Using Adafruit HUZZAH32 with Thonny IDE and MicroPython stable version(as of 10-1-19).

I have seen Arduino tutorials for hosting a LAN with ESP8266, and have used an 8266 with its own LAN before. What I want to do is host a small LAN on an ESP32 using MicroPython. It would need to handle at most 2 or 3 connections at once, with no internet connectivity needed.

https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... networking

See the second section of that first example:

Code: Select all

ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF) # create access-point interface
ap.config(essid='ESP-AP') # set the ESSID of the access point
ap.active(True)         # activate the interface
