# WiFiScanAsync Example

This example demonstrates how to use the WiFi library to scan available WiFi networks in asynchronous mode and print the results.

## Supported Targets

Currently this example supports the following targets.

| Supported Targets | ESP32 | ESP32-S2 | ESP32-C3 | ESP32-S3 | ESP32-C6 |
| ----------------- | ----- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |

## How to Use Example

* How to install the Arduino IDE: [Install Arduino IDE](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/docs/arduino-ide).

#### Using Arduino IDE

* Before Compile/Verify, select the correct board: `Tools -> Board`.
* Select the COM port: `Tools -> Port: xxx` where the `xxx` is the detected COM port.

#### Using Platform IO

* Select the COM port: `Devices` or setting the `upload_port` option on the `platformio.ini` file.

## Troubleshooting

***Important: Be sure you're using a good quality USB cable and you have enought power source for your project.***

* **Programming Fail:** If the programming/flash procedure fails, try to reduce the serial connection speed.
* **COM port not detected:** Check the USB cable connection and the USB to Serial driver installation.

If the error persist, you can ask help at the official [ESP32 forum](https://esp32.com) or see [Contribute](#contribute).

The API is based on the Arduino WiFi Shield library, but has significant changes as newer WiFi functions are supported.
E.g. the return value of `encryptionType()` different because more modern encryption is supported.
