# Network scanner using Raspberry Pi Pico WH
The **Raspberry Pi Pico WH** has two wifi modes: station mode (**STA**) and access point(**AP**) mode. we will use the **STA** mode to detect and display available networks.
Make a simple wifi scanner usinfg raspberry pi pico wh and MicroPython to scan Wi-Fi networks in **station mode (STA)** and display signal strength on a small **SSD1306 OLED screen**.
---
## Things you need
- Raspberry Pi Pico WH
- SSD1306 OLED Module (Amazon link: [Ds Robotics® 0.96" OLED Display](https://www.amazon.in/Ds-Robotics%C2%AE-Self-Luminous-Compatible-Raspberry/dp/B0BWNHXYN9))
- Breadboard & Jumper Wires
- Thonny IDE
- MicroPython drivers (preloaded or installable)
---
---
## Display Outputs
---
## Setting Up Thonny & Pico WH
1. **Connecting the Pico WH:**
- Press and hold `BOOTSEL` button on the board, connect USB to PC and launch `Thonny`.
2. **Files window:**
- If the files window is not there, go to `View` then click 'Files`.
3. **Configure the Interpreter:**
- Go to `Run > Configure Interpreter`.
- Set the interpreter settings (follow image below).
---
## Installing SSD1306 Drivers
- Open Thonny, go to `Tools > Manage packages...`
- Search and install `ssd1306` module.
> If unavailable, use the drivers i have in the files in `/lib/` directory of this repository.
> If the display is not working or turming on, there's a complete troubleshooting guide to solve or test the display insid Thonny.

## Circuit Pin Diagram
Connect your OLED to the pico as follows:
| Raspberry Pi Pico WH | SSD1306 OLED |
|------------------------------|--------------------|
| VBUS (Pin 40) or 3V3 (Pin 36) | VCC |
| GND (Pin 38) | GND |
| GP4 (Pin 26) | SDA (Data Line) |
| GP5 (Pin 27) | SCL (Clock Line) |
> I have uploaded a full debug guide in the **troubleshooting section** if your display is not turning on.
---
## Coding
- Script: `main.py` (available in this repo)
- Save it to the pico in `/main.py` directory.
Run and verify using Thonny. If it prints `"MPY: soft reboot"`, everything is good to go! Disconnect and power the board externally. (It should run automatically.)
---
## Directory
-save in the following paths only:
1. -Raspberry Pi Pico/main.py
2. -Raspberry Pi Pico/lib/ssd1306.py
