Implement Unique WiFi SSIDs #24

Closed poynting closed 9 months ago

poynting commented 9 months ago

When multiple SOTAcats are powered on we can't currently tell which one we're connecting to over WiFi. At the moment this is more of a developer issue, but once they take over the world and we start having name collisions on summits it could become a user issue.

I suggest we have a factory/user settable serial number saved so each SOTAcat has a different default SSID, e.g. SOTAcat-1234.

An extension of this could be making the broadcast SSID completely customizable, but we may still want some default option that includes a serial-number-like value added to a human-readable SSID.

Yes, this was on my mental todo-list. Thanks for taking the time to write it up. We'll likely initially broadcast a "SOTAcatNNNN" where NNNN is some unique ID like macaddr, then have a settings page where one can adjust the SSID to their liking. So this is really two feature requests: 1) to uniquely identify SOTAcat SSID at startup 2) to allow user-setting of SSID I'll likely tackle the first one quickly, and work on the second a bit later.

Fixed with poynting's (Justin McAllister's) commit. Thanks, Justin!
