Libraries

This program depends on:

• ESP8266WiFi.h

How to use

1. Enter the number of networks at const int num_of_networks,
2. Enter the SSID's in: const char* ssids[],
3. Choose whether you have custom MAC Addresses or not at: const bool use_random_mac,
4. If you have custom MAC Addresses, add them at: const int MACAddresses,
5. Let's go...

Using and connecting an ESP8266 with a FTDI board

Do not power an ESP8266 with 5V, use 3.3V instead.

While programming:

FTDI --> ESP8266
VCC --> VCC & EN
GND --> GND & GPIO0
RX --> TX
TX --> RX

While in normal operation:

FTDI --> ESP8266
VCC --> VCC & EN
VCC --> ca. 10kOhm resistor --> GPIO0
GND --> GND
RX --> TX
TX --> RX
