Connect to a WiFi Network

The first thing the PxlNode will want to do is connect to a wifi network. These two steps are what the nodeMCU tries to do when powered on:

  1. Attempt to connect to the ssid/password stored in memory.
  2. If it can't connect after a short period of time, it will go into "configuration" mode broadcasting it's own SSID named Enviral
  • You can also trigger "configuration" mode by double pressing the reset button if using the esp8266. (left of the usb port, as shown above)

If you're running this for the first time, you'll probably be greeted with the ssid Enviral either way:

Once configured and saved, your nodeMCU will reset on its own, and "Enviral" will disappear, and you can now start sending commands or pixel data to your nodeMCU.
