How To Install Using Arduino Library Manager
This library is a Credentials / WiFi Connection Manager with fallback web configuration portal similar to other WiFiManagers
1. Tzapu WiFiManager
2. Ken Taylor WiFiManager
3. ESP_WiFiManager
This library supports Teensy, SAM DUE, SAMD, STM32, etc. boards running ESP8266 AT-command shields.
The web configuration portal, served from the ESP8266 AT-command shields is operating as an access point (AP) with configurable static IP address or use default IP Address of 192.168.4.1
