STA Mode and Logging #14

I'm assuming you've tested this in both modes. We're fine until we announce it to the world. So far the only download links are to what I create so it won't get updated until I do that. There isn't yet any automated packager.

How about adding a timeout to station mode? That is, when in station mode, wait for a minute or so. If it cannot connect, revert to AP mode. That way, if you find yourself out in the field with it set to station mode, you have a way to connect and you are not locked out if it. Same issue if you, for some reason change your (external) AP SSID and/or password. You would be locked out and the only way to connect (other than recreating an AP it could connect to) would be to re-flash it.

Other than that, it looks great, especially the logging parts, which I've been procrastinating about it :)

Thanks!

I was thinking something like that may be an issue. So far, I've changed it to fallback to AP mode if no connection is made in a minute. Ideally it would be nice to be able to edit the parameters via the vehicle link, although I am not sure if the vehicle would forward USB QGC parameter messages to the WiFi module.
