Role of WiFi adapter #25

In Readme.md

at the line

Do this for several Pis and then plug in the WiFi adapter that has "monitor" mode.

Could you please explain a bit on the role of this adapter in the system?

Thank you!

ipozdnyakov commented 6 years ago

Should I use one for each RPi or only one for the whole system?

schollz commented 6 years ago

Each Pi should have its own adapter. The adapter is used to scan for devices, and each Pi will be doing its own scanning in its own geographic region.

Thank you very much!
