RaspiWiFi is a program to headlessly configure a Raspberry Pi's WiFi
connection using using any other WiFi-enabled device (much like the way
a Chromecast or similar device can be configured). RaspiWiFi has been
tested with the Raspberry Pi B+, Raspberry Pi 3, and Raspberry Pi Zero W.



INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
OS IMAGE USAGE:

== Navigate to the directory you downloaded or cloned RaspiWiFi to
== Just burn the ".IMG" file attached to this release to an 8GB+ SD card. Boot
your Raspberry Pi with the SD card and it will automatically boot into its AP
Host (broadcast) mode with an SSID based on a unique id (the last four of your
Pi's serial number). No input devices or displays necessary. Otherwise this is
a base install of the current Raspbian Stretch, up to date as of the date of
this release.



SCRIPT-BASED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

== Navigate to the directory you downloaded or cloned RaspiWiFi

== Run:

sudo python3 initial_setup.py

== This script will install all necessary prerequisites, copy configuration files, and reboot. When it finishes booting it should present itself in "Configuration Mode" as a WiFi access point with the name "RaspiWiFi Setup".

RESETTING THE DEVICE:

== If GPIO 18 is pulled HIGH for 10 seconds or more the Raspberry Pi will reset all settings, reboot, and enter "Configuration Mode" again. It's useful to have a simple button wired on GPIO 18 to reset easily if moving to a new location, or if incorrect connection information is ever entered. Just press and hold for 10 seconds or longer.
