Programmatically control Raspberry Pi WiFi #12

Open snekiam opened 4 years ago

snekiam commented 4 years ago

The plan is to use the Pi as a wifi access point so a user can connect and pull logs off, but we want to be able to control this programmatically, from python. here is some info on running the pi as a hotspot (access point). We want to be able to turn this on/off from python.

One other option is to leave the hotspot on all the time, starting it when the pi boots. This may produce a significant amount of heat, so we might want to test that.
