Datasheet
We can connect to the access point with wifi.sta.config and wifi.sta.connect - it will take a second or two to complete
the connection, you can query the module to ask the status with wifi.sta.status() - when you get a 5 it means the
connection is completed and DHCP successful
WebClient example
Once you're got the IP address you can connect to adafruit, for example, and read a webpage and print it out:
You can also have the module do DNS for you, just give it the hostname instead of IP address:
