# WiFi Example This example shows the use of the `espp::WifiSta` for connecting to existing wifi networks, and the `espp::WifiAp` for creating a wifi access point, both of which are provided by the `wifi` component. ## How to use example ### Configure the project ``` idf.py menuconfig ``` Since this example tests the `espp::WifiSta` which acts as a station and connects to a pre-existing WiFi network, you should configure the wifi network you want to connect to. ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espp/wifi=0.22.0:example"
