WebClientRepeating.ino

/****************************************************************************************************************************
  WebClientRepeating.ino - Simple Arduino web server sample for SAMD21 running WiFiNINA shield
  For any WiFi shields, such as WiFiNINA W101, W102, W13x, or custom, such as ESP8266/ESP32-AT, Ethernet, etc

  WiFiWebServer is a library for the ESP32-based WiFi shields to run WebServer
  Based on and modified from ESP8266 https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases
  Based on  and modified from Arduino WiFiNINA library https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiNINA
  Built by Khoi Hoang https://github.com/khoih-prog/WiFiWebServer
  Licensed under MIT license

  A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins via a web page using an ESP8266 module.
  This sketch will start an access point and print the IP address of your ESP8266 module to the Serial monitor.
  From there, you can open that address in a web browser to display the web page.
  The web page will be automatically refreshed each 20 seconds.
