WIFI configuration - Linux version

 

Overview
To provide an easy connection to your network we provide a linux configuration program that will read out and offer the user to change the settings for their network. It can be downloaded here. To get started extract the wifi_config folder to a location on your hard drive and run the executable from within this folder. Now select your modules serial port from the drop down menu and you will be able to edit the WIFI modules settings.

If you get an error that you can not access the serial port make sure that you are a member of the dialout group, if you are not you can add yourself to the group by running 'sudo usermod -aG dialout USERNAME' where USERNAME should be replaced by your username. You may have to restart your computer for these changes to take effect.
