WiFi feature preview

WiFi is in early stage of its development and will change in the future. However, a preview version is available for you to use at the moment. Please share your feedback and bugs you may find at: https://github.com/Voltavian/brian-forum/issues

Enable

From the main menu go to Settings and WiFi config and select Enable. The wifi will start in AP mode. When you turn Brian off and on again, the WiFi will stay off. You can always manually re-enable it.

AP mode

WiFi in AP mode (access-point) will run its own WiFi network using WPA3 encryption. The WiFi SSID and password will be shown on the screen. Connect to this network from your computer. You will loose internet access, if your computer was connected to computer via a different wifi

[ ] Support changing SSID and password is coming soon.

Client mode

[ ] Support for WiFi client mode is coming soon.

In WiFi client mode, you can instruct Brian to connect to an existing network.

File Transfer

  1. From a connected computer, open your favorite web browser. Officially supported is google chrome, however any other major browser should work as well.
  2. Navigate to a website, denoted by the IP addressed showed on Brian's screen. In most cases it will be http://192.168.4.1
  3. You will see an application that shows the content of Brian's SD card. You can download or upload new files, delete files, rename them, or create new ones. The web app will show an editable preview of text/python files in the right side of the screen.
