| endWiFi() | Tell Watchy_GSR that you're finished with the WiFi, only do this IF you asked for it. |
NOTES ON WiFi
If you plan to use WiFi, remember, users will want to actually keep using the Watchy_GSR underneath while you're using WiFi, so while it is nice to pack everything in at once, the InsertWiFi() function is repeatedly called until you tell it you're done by saying EndWiFi(), you may see another InsertWiFi() after doing so, just be sure to ignore any InserWiFi() calls you didn't ask for.
Breaking up your WiFi functions so that they're only done in parts is best. Anything you have to wait for, make an int that tells you where you are in your work and when InsertWiFi() returns, continue where you left off. When you're finished, make sure you EndWiFi() and make note you finished on your end.
