rpi3-hotspot

Turns a Raspberry Pi 3 into a configurable access point.

How this works

An access point is created if /boot/hotspot.txt file is present. If there is no such file, no access point will be set up and the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf will be used.

Defaults are ssid=Rpi Access Point (%hostname%) and passphrase=rpi_ap_pass but can be changed by tweaking the /boot/hotspot.txt file. One or both parameters can be modified.
See boot/hotspot.txt.example for a documented example.

The Raspberry Pi IP address will be 10.99.99.1.

# /boot/hotspot.txt
ssid=Rodrigo The Robot
passphrase=your_secret_passphrase
