# QR Code Generator for Wi-Fi
## Description
This Python application generates QR codes for Wi-Fi network credentials using the `qrcode` library and `PyQt5` for the graphical user interface. The generated QR code can be scanned by devices to automatically connect to the specified Wi-Fi network.
## Features
- Input fields for SSID (Wi-Fi network name), encryption type (WPA/WEP), and password.
- Generate a QR code representing the Wi-Fi credentials.
- Display the QR code in the application window.
## Prerequisites
Before running the application, ensure you have the following libraries installed:
- `qrcode`
- `PyQt5`
You can install these libraries using `pip`:
```bash
pip install qrcode[pil] PyQt5
```
## How to Run
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Horacious7/QR_Generator_WIFI.git
cd qr-code-generator-wifi
```
2. **Run the Application**
Execute the script using Python:
```bash
python qr_code_generator.py
```
3. **Using the Application**
- Open the application.
- Enter the SSID (name of the Wi-Fi network) in the first input field.
- Enter the type of encryption (WPA or WEP) in the second input field.
- Enter the Wi-Fi password in the third input field.
- Click the "Generate the QR code" button.
- The QR code will be displayed in the application window and saved as `temporary_qr.png`.
## Code Overview
- **QRCodeGenerator Class**: Defines the main window and layout for the application.
- `__init__()`: Initializes the UI elements and layout.
- `generate_qr_code()`: Generates a QR code with the Wi-Fi credentials and displays it in the application window.
