End-user process to establish WiFi connection
-
Hi,
I am developing a end-user product based on Omega, using the WiFi connectivity.
As far as I could read on the web site (tutorials, wiki, community), setting up the WiFi requires some technical background, which most users won't have (such as Serial/USB or SSH connexion, running ifconfig to know the IP address, ...).
So, is there a standard and simple documented process to connect an Omega to a Wifi network, that I could use as a starting point to write a user manual? I guess this would be useful to many of the Omega projects as soon as it has to be used by non-developers.
Thanks in advance!

@Frederic-Baumann would the Omega's be running the factory firmware? If so, you can use the Get Started Guide: https://wiki.onion.io/Get-Started
If not, the wifi can be setup by connecting the the Omega's AP, logging on to the console, and changing the network settings there?
(Or if you want to include using the terminal:

Many thanks for your prompt answer.
I had not in mind the Get-Started page! "Setting up using the GUI" could be a nice way as it is not technical. I am just wondering how to avoid the various steps of the wizard:
I will ship the factory firmware, but with my own software installed as well, tested and working with the current firmware. So I would like to avoid that the other Omega stuff appears to the users, and for sure, I would not like the users to make any firmware upgrade.
For that, is there any way to customize the Wizard, so that there is no other steps than "Login to Omega" and "Setup Wifi"?
Thanks!
Frédéric

@Frederic-Baumann You can edit the files found on
/www, that will modify the Setup Wizard.
