Feature/antenna led for wifi #224

Closed CleoQc closed 5 years ago

CleoQc commented 5 years ago

When in Raspbian or Raspbian for Robots, once the GoPiGo3 is connected to a WiFi access point, the antenna LED will be a pale yellow, very different from the green and blue for DexterOS. This gives the user a nice feedback that the robot is connected to Wifi and removes the guessing game.

This means a new service is installed: _antennawifi.service which runs every 10 seconds, for less than 0.2 sec on average. A user can always choose to disable this service with the standard sudo systemctl disable antenna_wifi.service

Very nice improvement - especially with the instructions for disabling (when power consumption is a concern.)

Thank you all.
