Solutions to Exercise 9: Real Time Clock and Data Logging

Exercise 1:

Since connecting to the Internet through WiFi is a very common task, we develop a module doing only this. The module can be put into the /lib directory on the ESP32 (or even better: frozen into the binary of MicroPython) making it available also for later exercises.

Here is a program connecting to the Internet through WiFi. You will have to modify it in order to adapt it to your WiFi SSID and password.
