Any Ad-HOC example of RedPine Module ? Anybody tried ? When can I sense if someone connected ( when im the creator) ? Help apreciated 
Got The Ad Hoc to work - but got some questions - The WEP how to set it ? I set it and can always connect 
+ Can I “know” who is trying to connect ( and grant or deny acces ? ) ? Can I make the SSID hidden ? Thx for any advice
WiFi.ConnectAdHoc(WiFi.IBSSMode.Creator, "MyWiFi", SecurityMode.WEP,"1A648C9FE2", 1);
General wireless networking tip: hidden SSID is actually more insecure than not, and no longer recommended; there are network stacks that won’t connect to a hidden SSID so you may get yourself in more trouble than its worth.
WiFi Class has been totally changed. We will release the new SDK this week hopefully. Stay tuned.
Here is the new example code sneek peek:

This event occur only when i activate a new netwokr, and IsLinkConnected mean an actuall connection to a client ?
[quote]This event occur only when i activate a new netwokr, and IsLinkConnected mean an actuall connection to a client ?
[/quote]
only when you activate a new network.
Do you provide some interface to check the signal strength during a connection. Or perhaps signal strength of surrounding networks ? Just thinking
Yes it is the RSSI
Thanks Joe…loking forward to this. 8)
