Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am trying to connect the openBot to a local wifi network so that i can fetch parameters from different sensors , pins and send their respective values to a web app through http methods , but i am unable to do so as it is missing the firmware is missing the native feature or code to scan and connect to the local wifi network . It gets frustrating browsing multiple web pages to find the solution to include the wifi library and then code to get the desired result.

Describe the solution you'd like
A feature updated in the firmware to scan , connect and disconnect from a wifi network of choice , Additional features such as checking the connection status and getting the IP address of the openbot connected.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No major alternatives , apart from continuously and recursively browse multiple web pages in order to implement the feature

Additional context
This could help developers seamlessly integrate any web related feature and even create web servers to feed their web applications with data readings or other bi-directional communication needs. Someone who is not well wersed with Computer Networks could make use of this feature to seamlessly develop web apps
