Wi-Fi

[中文]

Introduction

The WiFi libraries provide support for configuring and monitoring the ESP32 WiFi networking functionality. This includes configuration for:

  • Station mode (aka STA mode or WiFi client mode). ESP32 connects to an access point.

  • AP mode (aka Soft-AP mode or Access Point mode). Stations connect to the ESP32.

  • Combined AP-STA mode (ESP32 is concurrently an access point and a station connected to another access point).

  • Various security modes for the above (WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc.)

  • Scanning for access points (active & passive scanning).

  • Promiscuous mode for monitoring of IEEE802.11 WiFi packets.

Application Examples

The wifi directory of ESP-IDF examples contains the following applications:

Code examples for Wi-Fi are provided in the wifi directory of ESP-IDF examples.

In addition, there is a simple esp-idf-template application to demonstrate a minimal IDF project structure.

API Reference

  • ESP_ERR_WIFI_NOT_INIT: WiFi is not initialized by esp_wifi_init

  • ESP_ERR_WIFI_ARG: invalid argument

Parameters

  • mask: WiFi event mask.

esp_err_t esp_wifi_80211_tx(wifi_interface_t ifx, const void *buffer, int len, bool en_sys_seq)

Send raw ieee80211 data.

Attention

Currently only support for sending beacon/probe request/probe response/action and non-QoS data frame

Return

  • ESP_OK: success

  • ESP_ERR_WIFI_IF: Invalid interface

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Invalid parameter

  • ESP_ERR_WIFI_NO_MEM: out of memory

Parameters

  • ifx: interface if the Wi-Fi mode is Station, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_STA. If the Wi-Fi mode is SoftAP, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_AP. If the Wi-Fi mode is Station+SoftAP, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_STA or WIFI_IF_AP. If the ifx is wrong, the API returns ESP_ERR_WIFI_IF.

  • buffer: raw ieee80211 buffer

  • len: the length of raw buffer, the len must be <= 1500 Bytes and >= 24 Bytes

  • en_sys_seq: indicate whether use the internal sequence number. If en_sys_seq is false, the sequence in raw buffer is unchanged, otherwise it will be overwritten by WiFi driver with the system sequence number. Generally, if esp_wifi_80211_tx is called before the Wi-Fi connection has been set up, both en_sys_seq==true and en_sys_seq==false are fine. However, if the API is called after the Wi-Fi connection has been set up, en_sys_seq must be true, otherwise ESP_ERR_WIFI_ARG is returned.
