scanData in google-maps-device-locator

Firmware
1

I'm using the google-maps-device-locator library to sense mac addresses & signal strength/quality on my P2. I intend to send those addresses to a Boron for cellular communication to the cloud so I can determine location in areas I don't have password access to the available wifi networks.

In my logs I have a recurring entry where scanData = an array of mac addresses, strengths and quality. It's the exact data that I'm looking for. But I haven't been able to use scanData to define a new variable or intentionally reproduce the addresses in the log.

The error I get is scanData was not defined in this scope, but I see it as a part of the library in the .cpp file.

The scanData is a local variable so you won't be able to access it.

You could call the scan() method which is what returns scanData. Basically just do this in your code:

const char *scanData = locator.scan();

Replace locator with whatever you named your GoogleMapsDeviceLocator global variable in your code.

that worked great, thank you.
