StickC M5Stack Ultra Simple WiFi Scanner

In this project we will learn how to make a WiFi Scanner using a M5StickC ESP32 module to Display the WiFi networks around.

Watch the Video.

Step 1: What You Will Need

• M5StickC ESP32
• Visuino software: Download Visuino here: https://www.visuino.eu

Step 2: Start Visuino, and Select the M5 Stack Stick C Board Type

Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the “Tools” button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select “M5 Stack Stick C” as shown on Picture 2

Step 3: In Visuino Set Components

 

• Select “M5 Stack Stick C” and in the properties window expand “Modules” > “WiFi” > “Operations” and click on the 3 dots button.
• In “Operations” window drag “Scan WiFi Networks” to the left side

• Close the “Elements” window

Step 4: In Visuino Connecting Everything

• Connect “M5 Stack Stick C” pin Out A(M5) to “Operations[0] pin “Scan”
• Connect “M5 Stack Stick C” pin Out A(M5) to Fill Screen1 pin “Clock”
• Connect “M5 Stack Stick C” “Operations[0] pin “Scanning” to “LED” pin “In”
• Connect “M5 Stack Stick C” “Operations[0] pin “SSID” to “Display ST7735” pin “In”

Step 5: Generate, Compile, and Upload the Code

In Visuino, at the bottom click on the “Build” Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the “Compile/Build and Upload” button.
