WiFi.setCredentials clarification

[ScruffR]

@Jerware

I didn't know it was bad for the lifetime of the Photon.

Hmm, I thought I told in the other thread

I need to set a static IP on a Photon

I’ve read that part, but just for testing give it try. It might not be an issue really, but flash wear might be something to consider too. We had a case where a user did run into some condition where his code kept doing such a thing inadvertently in a loop causing his device to wear out being unable to reprogram it.

Any differences mean the SD card was changed and the credentials need re-applying.

A similar suggestion to mine in the other thread

Actually I didn't know about WiFI.getCredentials() at all. Is there documentation?

It's a feature to come

@mdma

For programmatic configuration, in 0.4.9, we will have a WiFi.getCredentails() API
