Wi-Fi Fast Scan Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example shows how to use the scan functionality of the Wi-Fi driver of ESP for connecting to an AP.

Two scan methods are supported: fast scan and all channel scan.

fast scan: in this mode, scan finishes right after a matching AP is detected, even if channels are not completely scanned. You can set thresholds for signal strength, as well as select desired authentication modes provided by the AP's. The Wi-Fi driver will ignore AP's that fail to meet mentioned criteria.
all channel scan: scan will end only after all channels are scanned; the Wi-Fi driver will store 4 of the fully matching AP's. Sort methods for AP's include rssi and authmode. After the scan, the Wi-Fi driver selects the AP that fits best based on the sort.

After the scan, the Wi-Fi driver will try to connect. Because it needs to to allocate precious dynamic memory to store matching AP's, and, most of the cases, connect to the AP with the strongest reception, it does not need to record all the AP's matched. The number of matches stored is limited to 4 in order to limit dynamic memory usage. Among the 4 matches, AP's are allowed to carry the same SSID name and all possible authentication modes - Open, WEP, WPA and WPA2.

How to use example

Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using idf.py set-target <chip_name>.

Hardware Required

A development board with ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-C3 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
A USB cable for Power supply and programming

Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig).

In the Example Configuration menu:

Use WiFi SSID to set the SSID.
Use WiFi Password to set the password.

Optional: If you need, change the other options according to your requirements.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for all the steps to configure and use the ESP-IDF to build projects.
