Auto reconnect to wifi

[hammy]

Hi
Doing my first project with a nano 33iot.
The wi fi connection is very flakey and I would like to check in “loop “ as to whether the wi fi signal has been lost and in that case to reconnect it , rather than the one shot in setup .
I have no idea how to do this , can anyone give me a few pointers or code snippet?

You can do it manually in your loop() function with a snippet like this:

void loop() {
   if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      WiFi.begin(SECRET_SSID, SECRET_PASS);
   }
   ...
}

but there's a more robust approach using the Arduino_ConnectionHandler library which does this better:

#include <Arduino_ConnectionHandler.h>

WiFiConnectionHandler conn(SECRET_SSID, SECRET_PASS);

void setup() {
   ...
}

void loop() {
   conn.check();
   ...
}

Thx I’ll give it a go
( have to say this and using the Arduino cloud stuff is very frustrating, getting a connection seems random !!)

Yep , that first bit of code suggested sorted it .

Thx
