Hello, all,
My NodeMCU is supposed to connect to different networks.
I'd like to write:

...and so on for the other networks, that are selected by variable ntwrk, in EEPROM.
But this refused because WIFI_SSID must be a constant, if my understanding is correct.
Any mean to solve this (probably basic) programming problem?
Many thanks

Its more or less what I was doing, but I wished to avoid the multiple wifi.begin.
Thanks anyway.

To answer properly, we'd need see how WIFI_SSID/WIFI_PASS are defined.
If they are define like:

#define WIFI_SSID "Some SSID"

... it won't work! If it is defined as:

const char* WIFI_SSID;

... your code snippet will work.
