.. module:: network
   :synopsis: network configuration

This module provides network drivers and routing configuration.  Network
drivers for specific hardware are available within this module and are
used to configure a hardware network interface.  Configured interfaces
are then available for use via the :mod:`socket` module.

For example::

    # configure a specific network interface
    # see below for examples of specific drivers
    import network
    nic = network.Driver(...)
    print(nic.ifconfig())

    # now use socket as usual
    import socket
    addr = socket.getaddrinfo('micropython.org', 80)[0][-1]
    s = socket.socket()
    s.connect(addr)
    s.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: micropython.org\r\n\r\n')
    data = s.recv(1000)
    s.close()

    class CC3K
    ==========
    
    This class provides a driver for CC3000 wifi modules.  Example usage::
    
        import network
        nic = network.CC3K(pyb.SPI(2), pyb.Pin.board.Y5, pyb.Pin.board.Y4, pyb.Pin.board.Y3)
        nic.connect('your-ssid', 'your-password')
        while not nic.isconnected():
            pyb.delay(50)
        print(nic.ifconfig())
    
        # now use socket as usual
        ...
    
    For this example to work the CC3000 module must have the following connections:
    
        - MOSI connected to Y8
        - MISO connected to Y7
        - CLK connected to Y6
        - CS connected to Y5
        - VBEN connected to Y4
        - IRQ connected to Y3
    
    It is possible to use other SPI busses and other pins for CS, VBEN and IRQ.
    
    Constructors
    ------------
    
    .. class:: CC3K(spi, pin_cs, pin_en, pin_irq)
    
       Create a CC3K driver object, initialise the CC3000 module using the given SPI bus
       and pins, and return the CC3K object.
    
       Arguments are:
    
         - ``spi`` is an :ref:`SPI object <pyb.SPI>` which is the SPI bus that the CC3000 is
           connected to (the MOSI, MISO and CLK pins).
         - ``pin_cs`` is a :ref:`Pin object <pyb.Pin>` which is connected to the CC3000 CS pin.
         - ``pin_en`` is a :ref:`Pin object <pyb.Pin>` which is connected to the CC3000 VBEN pin.
         - ``pin_irq`` is a :ref:`Pin object <pyb.Pin>` which is connected to the CC3000 IRQ pin.
    
       All of these objects will be initialised by the driver, so there is no need to
       initialise them yourself.  For example, you can use::
    
         nic = network.CC3K(pyb.SPI(2), pyb.Pin.board.Y5, pyb.Pin.board.Y4, pyb.Pin.board.Y3)

       parameters.
    
    .. method:: cc3k.disconnect()
    
       Disconnect from the wifi access point.
    
    .. method:: cc3k.isconnected()
    
       Returns True if connected to a wifi access point and has a valid IP address,
       False otherwise.
    
    .. method:: cc3k.ifconfig()
    
       Returns a 7-tuple with (ip, subnet mask, gateway, DNS server, DHCP server,

       Return the version of the patch program (firmware) on the CC3000.
    
    .. method:: cc3k.patch_program('pgm')
    
       Upload the current firmware to the CC3000.  You must pass 'pgm' as the first
       argument in order for the upload to proceed.

    class WIZNET5K
    ==============
    
    This class allows you to control WIZnet5x00 Ethernet adaptors based on
    the W5200 and W5500 chipsets (only W5200 tested).
    
    Example usage::
    
        import network
        nic = network.WIZNET5K(pyb.SPI(1), pyb.Pin.board.X5, pyb.Pin.board.X4)
        print(nic.ifconfig())

    For this example to work the WIZnet5x00 module must have the following connections:
    
        - MOSI connected to X8
        - MISO connected to X7
        - SCLK connected to X6

    It is possible to use other SPI busses and other pins for nSS and nRESET.
    
    Constructors
    ------------
    
    .. class:: WIZNET5K(spi, pin_cs, pin_rst)
    
       Create a WIZNET5K driver object, initialise the WIZnet5x00 module using the given
       SPI bus and pins, and return the WIZNET5K object.
    
       Arguments are:
    
         - ``spi`` is an :ref:`SPI object <pyb.SPI>` which is the SPI bus that the WIZnet5x00 is
           connected to (the MOSI, MISO and SCLK pins).
         - ``pin_cs`` is a :ref:`Pin object <pyb.Pin>` which is connected to the WIZnet5x00 nSS pin.
         - ``pin_rst`` is a :ref:`Pin object <pyb.Pin>` which is connected to the WIZnet5x00 nRESET pin.
    
       All of these objects will be initialised by the driver, so there is no need to
       initialise them yourself.  For example, you can use::
    
         nic = network.WIZNET5K(pyb.SPI(1), pyb.Pin.board.X5, pyb.Pin.board.X4)
    
    Methods

       When called with no arguments, this method returns a 4-tuple with the above information.
    
       To set the above values, pass a 4-tuple with the required information.  For example::
    
        nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))

       Performs a network scan and returns a list of named tuples with (ssid, bssid, security, channel, rssi).
       Note that channel is always ``None`` since this info is not provided by the WiPy.
    
    .. method:: wlan.disconnect()
    
       Disconnect from the wifi access point.
    
    .. method:: wlan.isconnected()

       are negotiated with the AP.
       
       if the 4-tuple config is given then a static IP is configured. For example::
    
          nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))

       - ``security`` security type currently used.
       - ``mac`` our MAC address.
    
    .. method:: wlan.connections()
    
       Returns a list of the devices currently connected. Each item in the list is a
       tuple of ``(ssid, mac)``.
    
    .. method:: wlan.antenna(antenna_type)
    
       Selects the antenna type to be used. Must be either ``WLAN.INT_ANTENNA`` or
       ``WLAN.EXT_ANTENNA``.

    .. method:: wlan.callback(wakes)

        Create a callback to be triggered when a WLAN event occurs during ``pyb.Sleep.SUSPENDED``
        mode. Events are triggered by socket activity or by WLAN connection/disconnection.

            - ``wakes`` can only be ``pyb.Sleep.SUSPENDED``.
