Hi All,

After testing on both platforms ( Raspian & Windows ) the GetInternetState() only appears to work on Windows.

Is there a simple work around for the Pi ? eg. an alternative method.

Cheers!

Ok,

Found a temporary solution... create a bash script, eg. checkwifi.sh

copy the following to the file..



This will create the bash script file as above, if not connected the ESSID will show "ESSID:off/any"



It's only a quick workaround, but does the trick

the Pi is linux-based IIRC?

i wonder if it's working on linux at all but it does work on android, WIN and HTML for me. ie, not "only Windows"

Hello there!, hope you're well..

I haven't tested on Android / HTML, so yes you are correct .. I was in a hurry to demo a project this afternoon and halfway through a meeting

The above workaround works for Pi / Linux - ( the GetInternetState() function always returns 1 on the Pi - and iOS judging by other posts, but can't confirm it )

I can now also scan for SSID's from an AppGameKit app ( on PI ) - enter the Password Key etc and configure the wifi without leaving the AppGameKit app.. great for a KIOSK mode style project.





All the best!
