CC3000 or ESP8266 MAC address?

Any way I can get the MAC address of either of these WiFi modules via Pico/Web IDE? I'm interested in using Pico+WiFi in a school setting that requires web page authentication which is a barrier. However the network administrators are willing to allow access based on MAC address of modules, if I can figure out what they are.

You can use the AT protocol and query AT+CIPAPMAC? reference

See the Espruino reference on ESP8266 specifically wifi.at and try wifi.at.cmd("AT+CIPAPMAC?", 1000, function() {}); there's probably a better way, maybe. I have not looked.

Is that the mac address of the access point? I guess they might both end up being the same...

You might need the following to report back the address to the console:

wifi.at.cmd("AT+CIPAPMAC?", 1000, console.log); // ESP8266 only

Also a simple way would be to connect it to your home network and to then log into your router and see which devices it thinks are connected?

Perfect! These get me what I need for esp8266. And I think I can use Gordon's second alternative to get me what I need for the CC3000 as well. Thanks!
