Telemetry over Wifi #784

We have two Lemons cars with RC/P Mk2s in them, but we are using them just for telemetry, not as digital dashboards. We also race at Thunderhill frequently, where Verizon is the only reliable choice for connectivity. As such, we have tablets in the cars, but they are only acting as Bluetooth>WiFi gateways to a Verizon MiFi. If we could transmit telemetry directly over WiFi, that would greatly improve the reliability of the system, since tablets can overheat, discharge the battery faster than they charge, etc. I'd love to see telemetry directly to Podium over WiFi, in both the RC and RCP.

Aye. You and me both. Definitely looking at this for future firmware versions. We have a few changes internally that need doing first... but this would be an awesome feature for sure.
