Hello everyone, We had been using the balena.io wifi-connect (written in Rust), but I needed to make some changes to it and had issues getting rust to cross compile for ARMv6 and 7. So I wrote a very similar application in Python as an open source project. My entire stack is in python, so it was …

Thank you for sharing this project @rbaynes ! Python has probably a wider audience than Rust when it comes to changing the source code. :slight_smile:

@rbaynes welcome to the forums, this is great! Do you have a Dockerfile for the project to run it on balenaCloud? I’d be interested to know if you have a start script example too. For example when I added wifi-connect to the balenaDash project, I just needed to add a Dockerfile and start script ( exa…

Thanks for looking it over @pdcastro @chrisys the way we use it is: add the python-wifi-connect as a git submodule of our balena cloud project (also in Python). add this to our Dockerfile.template # Copy the submodule code to the container: ADD python-wifi-connect /opt/python-wifi-connect EXPOSE…

Thanks! I also just talked to @majorz (the author of our wifi-connect project) who said he’d take a look and review your project too :slight_smile: Looking forward to seeing your project when it comes out in the summer - we’re always looking for guest posts on our blog as well if you feel like writ…

The next feature for the project is to make it work on a captured portal.

@chrisys @majorz I submitted an issue to your wifi-connect asking you to review my project. So you can close that issue any time!

Captive portal support would be amazing! I would love to see that :heart_eyes:

Sure, I have to make some other posts about our next project (on discourse to our community), so I can do the same here. This is our current v3 version of the device based on a beaglebone black. The next version will be base on the RPi CM on an updated board we are building. And of course app del…

Hi @rbaynes , I’ve been seeing your project and testing it, it seems excellent. I have even taken some parts of code to include in mine, unfortunately after several days I could not achieve my goal. and I would like to ask you for some help. What I need to do is put the device connected to the Wi-…

Does anyone test this for JETSON TX2 ? Is it working for TX2 ?
