That simpletest example works but its a little finicky - you need to constantly check WiFi status and have many loops to

manage connections and disconnections. For more advanced uses, we recommend using the WiFiManager object. It

will wrap the connection/status/requests loop for you - reconnecting if WiFi drops, resetting the ESP32 if it gets into a

bad state, etc.

Here's a more advanced example that shows the WiFi manager and also how to POST data with some extra headers:

import time

import board

import busio

from digitalio import DigitalInOut

import neopixel

from adafruit_esp32spi import adafruit_esp32spi

from adafruit_esp32spi import adafruit_esp32spi_wifimanager

print("ESP32 SPI webclient test")

# Get wifi details and more from a secrets.py file

try:

from secrets import secrets

except ImportError:

print("WiFi secrets are kept in secrets.py, please add them there!")

raise

# If you are using a board with pre-defined ESP32 Pins:

esp32_cs = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_CS)

esp32_ready = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_BUSY)

esp32_reset = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_RESET)

# If you have an externally connected ESP32:

# esp32_cs = DigitalInOut(board.D9)

# esp32_ready = DigitalInOut(board.D10)

# esp32_reset = DigitalInOut(board.D5)

spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, board.MOSI, board.MISO)

esp = adafruit_esp32spi.ESP_SPIcontrol(spi, esp32_cs, esp32_ready, esp32_reset)

"""Use below for Most Boards"""

status_light = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.NEOPIXEL, 1, brightness=0.2) # Uncomment for Most Boards

"""Uncomment below for ItsyBitsy M4"""

# status_light = dotstar.DotStar(board.APA102_SCK, board.APA102_MOSI, 1, brightness=0.2)

# Uncomment below for an externally defined RGB LED

# import adafruit_rgbled

# from adafruit_esp32spi import PWMOut

# RED_LED = PWMOut.PWMOut(esp, 26)

# GREEN_LED = PWMOut.PWMOut(esp, 27)

# BLUE_LED = PWMOut.PWMOut(esp, 25)

# status_light = adafruit_rgbled.RGBLED(RED_LED, BLUE_LED, GREEN_LED)
