    A utility class to enable the Blues Wireless Notecard to utilize external Wi-Fi resources of supported platforms.

  • If you're comfortable issuing AT commands to your host MCU, you can send AT+CWLAP and format the response per the above requirements. However, not many of us are so cozy with AT syntax, which is why we provide the Notecard Auxiliary Wi-Fi Arduino library for an easier way of programmatically pulling a list of Wi-Fi access points with your Wi-Fi enabled host MCU, and sending them to the Notecard in one command:

  • circuitpython

    CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollers

  • Developing with CircuitPython? Here is an example function that uses the built-in wifi library to gather the same WAP data when used with an ESP32 MCU:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
