Connect An ESP8266 To Any Open WiFi Network Automatically

The document contains code to configure WiFi connectivity on an ESP8266 device. It defines constants for the WiFi scan, connects to the strongest open network found by scanning, and prints the IP address if connection is successful. The code scans for wireless networks, sorts them by signal strength, and stores the SSID of the strongest open network to connect to.
