      In LoPy and WiPy 2.0, the WiFi MAC address can be shown via :

      import machine
      machine.unique_id()
      

      or

      import network
      network.WLAN().mac()
      

      But the result is in 6-byte format, not the usual MAC address with 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by ':'. To convert, use :

      import ubinascii
      ubinascii.hexlify(machine.unique_id(),':').decode()
      

      or :

      import ubinascii
      ubinascii.hexlify(network.WLAN().mac(),':').decode()
      

      My "MicroPython Samples". My "MicroPython Firmwares" with many options (double precision, ulab, etc).
