Sample Code for Connecting 2 Photons (Wifi Direct)

[Goose]

I have read that I'll need a WiFi router as well but am hoping there is a way around this.

Maybe something like what is mentioned in this thread?

Photon softAP usage?

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 being in the range of the wifi AP), talking with each other. Using spark cloud (if possible) or any other network communication method if not.

"the Broadcom BCM43362 chip which the Photon is based on does support Wi-Fi Direct mode (will require firmware changes) that will allow you to connect between two photons , however that will be point-to-point type communication, not really mesh type."

I am actually using the Electron right now for the GSM module, but this is connected via breadboard to the receiving Photon. I cannot find any documentation or comment from Particle that it is indeed possible to have 2 photons connect without a WiFi router. All I can find is comments that say it is possible via softAP/Wifi Direct as of last September (intended release date). Do you know of any threads that confirm or deny this?
