Adabox 016 - Trouble with SSID

Post by squishpink »

This is my first time using circuit python. I'm trying to run the initial wifi ESP32 SPI webclient test - code.py on the matrix portal, but I am getting a "Name Error: name "nameofmySSIDnetwork" is not defined. The name of my network doesn't have a space or special character in it. I'm not sure why I'm having trouble with it.

That looks like it might be a syntax error in your secrets.py file. Check it and make sure all the squiggly brackets, commans, etc. are there and in the correct place.

There's an example secrets.py here:

I copied the file off the Internet Connect! page and renamed it secrets.py and just changed out the SSID and password, and I've downloaded it and re-uploaded it several times to make sure I haven't changed anything.

I gave up trying to use TextEdit and downloaded Mu. My input for 'ssid' and 'password' were coming up black (instead of red) when I copied them into Mu. I rewrote them and saved to the board and it's running correctly. Not sure why I was having so much trouble editing in TextEdit, but it it working correctly now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cool. Glad it's working. Some text editors can do...things.
