Just a simple question - is the photon softAP mode for wifi client configuration only, or can it be normally used together with a client ? And how about the wifi mesh - this was not possible with core, how about photon ? I’m thinking about tens of photons chained together (with only first of them …

An interesting take by Google on this type of functionality : [image] Google Chrome For Android Will Soon Support Interactions With Bluetooth Beacons Google announced today that it has begun to support physical beacons in its Chrome browser for Android. The feature, which has been tested …

Hello mebrunet, i realise this thread is old but i just where wondering. Instead of flashing the firmware would it not be possible to use your connect html file and host it on the Photon with help of the webserver library? Maybe when connecting to the webserver via a webbrowser there is a index.h…

@ido Does that require a Wifi router or can 2 photons establish a connection and transmit data without Wifi? Do you know of any sample code/documentation to get started? I’m new to this.

To clarify, I want to be able to send data from one photon to another via softAP/Wifi-Direct without using Wifi. So basically I'm wondering if it is necessary for a client to have WiFi in order for 2 photons to share information. Can the photons establish this type of connection? It was stated that…

Hi Did any reply to this - I have the same issue - I want to use 2-legged auth to associate a new customer with a photon. The SoftAP works fine (thanks @mebrunet ). The photon connects fine, but I presume a claim code has already been used by this time and the device is connected to my account? I no…

I have node.js, can use particle cli to connect to networks, but want to use photon without an external network. So I instal…

@emilkl - Interesting idea. But does the user code run in SoftAP mode? I didn’t think so. If not, then this strategy would only be useful when the Photon already has credentials.

Right, @mdma had linked me to that last week and talked about turning those SoftAP pages into a library. Curious to play with it when released and stable, but pretty over loaded with other stuff right now.
