<p>An Arduino library for ESP8266/ESP32 WLAN configuration at run time with web interface.</p>
<h2 id="overview">Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>To the dynamic configuration for joining to WLAN with SSID and PSK accordingly. It an Arduino library united with <em>ESP8266WebServer</em> class for ESP8266 or <em>WebServer</em> class for ESP32.
Easy implementing the Web interface constituting the WLAN for ESP8266/ESP32 WiFi connection. With this library to make a Sketch easily which connects from ESP8266/ESP32 to the access point at runtime by the web interface without hard-coded SSID and password.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">About flash size on the module</p>
<p>The AutoConnect Sketch size is relatively large. Large flash capacity is necessary. 512Kbyte (4Mbits) flash inclusion module such as ESP-01 is not recommended.</p>
</div>
<h4 id="required-libraries">Required libraries<a class="headerlink" href="#required-libraries" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>AutoConnect requires the following environment and libraries.</p>
<p><i class="fa fa-download"></i> <strong>Arduino IDE</strong></p>
<p>The current upstream at the 1.8 level or later is needed. Please install from the <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">official Arduino IDE download page</a>. This step is not required if you already have a modern version.</p>
<p><i class="fa fa-download"></i> <strong>ESP8266 Arduino core</strong></p>
<p>AutoConnect targets Sketches made on the assumption of <a href="https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino">ESP8266 Community's Arduino core</a>. Stable 2.4.0 or higher required and the <a href="https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/latest">latest release</a> is recommended.<br />
Install third-party platform using the <em>Boards Manager</em> of Arduino IDE. Package URL is <a href="http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json">http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json</a></p>
<p><i class="fa fa-download"></i> <strong>ESP32 Arduino core</strong></p>
<p>Also, to apply AutoConnect to ESP32, the <a href="https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32">arduino-esp32 core</a> provided by Espressif is needed. Stable 1.0.1 or required and the <a href="https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/latest">latest release</a> is recommended.<br />
Install third-party platform using the <em>Boards Manager</em> of Arduino IDE. You can add multiple URLs into <em>Additional Board Manager URLs</em> field, separating them with commas. Package URL is <a href="https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json">https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json</a> for ESP32.</p>
<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Arduino core for ESP32 1.0.3 or later</p>
<p>For ESP32, AutoConnect v1.0.0 later is required for arduino-esp32 1.0.3 or later.</p>
</div>
<p><i class="fa fa-download"></i> <strong>Additional library (Required)</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/Hieromon/PageBuilder">PageBuilder</a> library to build HTML for ESP8266WebServer is needed.<br />
To install the PageBuilder library into your Arduino IDE, you can use the <em>Library Manager</em>. Select the board of ESP8266 series in the Arduino IDE, open the library manager and search keyword '<strong>PageBuilder</strong>' with the topic '<strong>Communication</strong>', then you can see the <em>PageBuilder</em>. The latest version is required <strong>1.3.6</strong> <strong>later</strong>.<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup></p>
<p><img src="images/lm.png" width="640"/></p>
<p><i class="fa fa-download"></i> <strong>Additional library (Optional)</strong></p>
<p>By adding the <a href="https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson">ArduinoJson</a> library, AutoConnect will be able to handle the <a href="acintro.html"><strong>custom Web pages</strong></a> described with JSON. Since AutoConnect v0.9.7 you can insert user-owned web pages that can consist of representative HTML elements as styled TEXT, INPUT, BUTTON, CHECKBOX, SELECT, SUBMIT and invoke them from the AutoConnect menu. These HTML elements can be added by Sketches using the AutoConnect API. Further it possible importing the custom Web pages declarations described with JSON which stored in PROGMEM, SPIFFS, or SD. <a href="https://arduinojson.org/">ArduinoJson</a> is required to use this feature.<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:2">2</a></sup> AutoConnect can work with ArduinoJson both <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v5/doc/">version 5</a> and <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v6/doc/">version 6</a>.</p>
<h3 id="install-the-autoconnect">Install the AutoConnect<a class="headerlink" href="#install-the-autoconnect" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Clone or download from the <a href="https://github.com/Hieromon/AutoConnect">AutoConnect GitHub repository</a>.</p>
<p><img src="images/gitrepo.png" width="640"/></p>
<p>When you select Download, you can import it to Arduino IDE immediately. After downloaded, the AutoConnect-master.zip file will be saved in your download folder. Then in the Arduino IDE, navigate to <em>"Sketch &gt; Include Library"</em>. At the top of the drop down list, select the option to <em>"Add .ZIP Library..."</em>.
