secrets.py file should be populated with wifi info.
To MAYBE do someday:
- Add some try excepts and error messages if it cannot connect to the internet or network.
- Add more data or other data screens with additonal network info(ip/cidr/subnetmask,gateway,channel, secuity mode)?
- Add options for open networks and non-wpa/2 networks.
- Use another file or source for network info aside from secrets.py, to possibly display one network and use another.
