- | ESP32 chip gets the IP address from the DHCP server after establishing the connection with the FiFi access point. In this scenario, we present how to connect to a WiFi network and read and display the IP address on an LCD. Displaying on other display than LCD is up to the developer. You can refer to the appropriate scenario, as listed below. | + | ESP32 chip gets the IP address from the DHCP server after establishing the connection with the WiFi access point.

- | Join the WiFi network. Present an IP address on the selected display. The commonly used format for IP addresses requires 15 characters, so LCD having 16 characters is sufficient to present the address. The steps below show the starting part of the software. How to implement the full software please refer to the previous scenarios: | + | Join the WiFi network. Present an IP address on the selected display.

Texts sent as part of the message are delimited with double quotation marks. In C++ we need to mark them with backslash characters inside the string constants. Examples above include these markings. | Texts sent as part of the message are delimited with double quotation marks.

Using another node ar even the same node another time can change the IP read. You can book another device and discover its IP. | Using another node ar even the same node another time can change the IP read. You can book another device and discover its IP. | ||

+ | Because LCD can't properly display some non-visible characters the presented code sometimes shows additional, non-letter characters. It is out of the scope of this scenario to filter these characters out. We leave the task of making visual improvements to your invention. | ||
