How To Install Using Arduino Library Manager

Features

If you have used the full-fledge WiFiManager such as :

  1. Tzapu WiFiManager
  2. Ken Taylor WiFiManager
  3. Khoi Hoang ESP_WiFiManager

and have to write complicated callback functions to save custom parameters in SPIFFS/LittleFS/EEPROM, you'd appreciate the simplicity of this Light-Weight Credentials / WiFiManager.

This library is a Light Weight Credentials / WiFi Manager for Portenta_H7 built-in WiFi (Murata) modules/shields, specially designed to support Portenta_H7 running on M7 core.

This is a Credentials / WiFi Connection Manager, permitting the addition of custom parameters to be configured in Config Portal. The parameters then will be saved automatically, without the complicated callback functions to handle data saving / retrieving.

You can also specify DHCP HostName, static AP and STA IP. Use much less memory compared to full-fledge WiFiManager. Config Portal will be auto-adjusted to match the number of dynamic custom parameters. Credentials are saved in LittleFS, shared with DoubleResetDetector_Generic library.

The web configuration portal, served from the Generic WiFi modules/shields is operating as an access point (AP) with configurable static IP address or use default IP Address of 192.168.4.1

New recent features:

  • MultiWiFi feature for configuring/auto(re)connecting Portenta WiFi shields to the available MultiWiFi APs at runtime.
  • DoubleDetectDetector feature to force Config Portal when double reset is detected within predetermined time, default 10s.
  • Powerful-yet-simple-to-use feature to enable adding dynamic custom parameters from sketch and input using the same Config Portal. Config Portal will be auto-adjusted to match the number of dynamic parameters.
  • Optional default Credentials as well as Dynamic parameters to be optionally autoloaded into Config Portal to use or change instead of manually input.
  • Dynamic custom parameters to be saved automatically in non-volatile LittleeFS memory.
  • Configurable Config Portal Title to be either BoardName or default undistinguishable names.
  • Examples are designed to separate Credentials / Defines / Dynamic Params / Code so that you can change Credentials / Dynamic Params quickly for each device.
  • Control Config Portal from software or Virtual Switches
  • To permit autoreset after configurable timeout if DRD/MRD or non-persistent forced-CP
  • Use new Portenta_H7 LittleFS features
  • Scan WiFi networks for selection in Configuration Portal
