Calling UDP.begin() before connection is completed
Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2017 11:28 amCan I call UDP.begin() before waiting on the WiFi to be properly connected? Most of the examples I see wait for the WiFi to connect, but I'm wondering if it's necessary.
For example, I would like to do this instead :
in setup() :
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); //Station mode
WiFi.disconnect();
WiFi.begin(APName,"12348756"); //Connect to AP
UDP.begin(localPort);
And check in loop() to blink the led for the connection status, allowing my main program to start running right away.
Thank you

I'm coding away from my shop at the moment, and I'm also open to any insight on this mechanic. I will report back though!
