ESP8266 and Encryption

Post by bigbob6242 »

Have just hooked up a new ESP8266 breakout board.

Loaded and ran the Blinking LED test - works as described in the Adafruit tutorial

Next tried connecting to my WLAN using the correct SSID and PW. Got the script loaded into the ESP8266 no problem.

My WLAN requires encryption (WPA2). This encryption is NOT part of the Sketch so I never seem to connect.

How can the Sketch on the Adafruit website be changed to allow for encryption? Can't imagine anyone's network running withOUT some form of encryption to control access.

Thanks.
