Feature: Send command to Tracker to switch wifi on #26

Closed xpix closed 3 years ago

xpix commented 7 years ago

Hello, if it possible to send some commands to the tracker to trigger an action. I.e. here in germany it's possible that our payload is landed on the highest tree in the forest. A good solution on the RPI Zero W is to switch on an WIFI AP to get all the video and telemetry data. To save power, it will be very nice that i can send a command to the tracker that he switch his WIFI AP on, i can connect this via my phone and can download all relevant data.

If this possible and how can i implement this?

thx Frank

I'm working on a generic upload facility which I hope to release later this summer, and that will include the ability to run an external command, so that would do what you need.
