ESP8266 Community Forum

With Arduino I can wait util the ESP has connected to my network with something like

if(wifiConnected) {
digitalWrite(ledpin, LOW); //turn led on
}
else {...}

Is there a way to return a success/failure value from BASIC wifi.connect()?

Yes. Wifi.connect() and wifi.ap() functions both return a value for success or fail.

Thanks for quick response.
I will give it a go.
I am trying to detect if connection lost as well so can re-try.
