What is the best way to comment on MicroPython documentation at http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/index.html

Quick reference for the ESP8266, Networking

A useful function for connecting to your local WiFi network is:

def do_connect():
    import network
    wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
    wlan.active(True)
    if not wlan.isconnected():
        print('connecting to network...')
        wlan.connect('essid', 'password')
        while not wlan.isconnected():
            pass
    print('network config:', wlan.ifconfig())

This is right under Installing MicroPython, at least add a line to call the function.

WebREPL (web browser interactive prompt)

If you disabled automatic start-up on boot...

in boot.py

...but the daemon is also started on STA interface if it is active, so if your router is set up and works correctly, you may also use WebREPL while connected to your normal Internet access point...

good place for a link to Quick reference for the ESP8266, Networking

The source for those docs is in the repo itself. Here is the ESP quickref: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... ickref.rst

Thank you, easy to edit with the pencil icon.

172 pull requests - hard to implement.

Hi flywire, sorry for the lack of communication, things were a little hectic in the lead-up to the 1.10 release! Right here is a good place to discuss documentation though of course, raising PR's or issues is helpful too.

If you do raise a PR please let me know and I'll push to get it integrated; I'm trying to help out with the documentation.

Hi mattyt

Can a note be added to the ESP8266 Documentation on the "maximum Period" a timer can be set to, please?

I can confirm that the MAXIMUM value is 6870947 (1:54:30.947).

Please see viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5116&start=10 where this has been discussed.

Thanks
Peter
