WiFiConnectivity

The WiFiConnectivity class simplifies WiFi management on Eliobot: connection to a network, creation of an access point and scanning of available networks.

Initialization

from elio import WiFiConnectivity

wifi_ctrl = WiFiConnectivity()

Methods

connect_to_wifi(ssid, password, webpassword) (static method)

Saves WiFi credentials to the settings.toml file and displays a message to restart the card.

note

The connection is made when Eliobot restarts, not immediately.

Paramètre	Type	Description
ssid	str	Nom du réseau WiFi
password	str	Mot de passe du réseau WiFi
webpassword	str	Mot de passe pour l'API web CircuitPython

WiFiConnectivity.connect_to_wifi("MonReseau", "monmotdepasse", "webmdp")

The settings.toml file generated:

CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID = "MonReseau"
CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD = "monmotdepasse"
CIRCUITPY_WEB_API_PASSWORD = "webmdp"
CIRCUITPY_WEB_API_PORT = 8080

Web Workflow

Once connected, you can access an IDE, file manager and terminal directly from Eliobot's IP address in your browser. Learn more: Web Workflow CircuitPython

disconnect_from_wifi() (static method)

Disconnects Eliobot from the WiFi network.

WiFiConnectivity.disconnect_from_wifi()

set_access_point(ssid, password) (static method)

Configure Eliobot as a WiFi access point.

Paramètre	Type	Description
ssid	str	Nom du point d'accès
password	str	Mot de passe du point d'accès

WiFiConnectivity.set_access_point("Eliobot-AP", "motdepasse")

scan_wifi_networks() (static method)

Scans and displays available WiFi networks with their SSID, channel and signal level (RSSI in dB and percentage).

networks = WiFiConnectivity.scan_wifi_networks()

Example output:

Réseaux WiFi disponibles:
SSID: MonReseau, Canal: 6, RSSI: -55 (58%)
SSID: VoisinReseau, Canal: 11, RSSI: -72 (30%)

Complete example

from elio import WiFiConnectivity

# Scanner les réseaux disponibles
networks = WiFiConnectivity.scan_wifi_networks()

# Se connecter (nécessite un redémarrage)
WiFiConnectivity.connect_to_wifi("MonReseau", "monmotdepasse", "webmdp")
