The Easiest ESP32 Wi-Fi Setup I’ve Ever Used (No Code Required)

Image
Setting up Wi-Fi on ESP32-based projects usually means reflashing firmware or hard-coding credentials — and that gets old fast. In this video, I walk through a new feature I added to my DIY azimuth/elevation rotator controller: automatic Wi-Fi setup using access point (AP) mode. On boot, the controller checks for saved credentials. If none are found — or if it can’t connect — it creates its own temporary Wi-Fi network that you can connect to with your phone or tablet. No reflashing. No hard-coded SSIDs. Just connect, configure, and go. Once configured, the controller automatically connects to your network every time it powers up. This makes it far easier to: Set up a new build Move between networks Use the controller portable Hand it to another ham without walking them through flashing code The entire rotator controller was built for under $40, and more features are on the way — including improved tracking, pass prediction, and a cleaner UI.
