a WifiScanner written in Gambas Script

I've been looking for a suitable application to write using Gambas Script, as a means of demonstrating its possibilities.

10 years ago I created a Gambas GUI app called WifiScanner which fits the bill.

So I've just stripped it down and created a script version.

Raspberry Pi 3: integral wifi problems

A couple of days ago I was given a nice new Pi 3.

I already have one other Pi 3 (and 14 other non-Pi 3 models) but it developed a fault, so this new one was a welcome birthday present.

Unfortunately it took most of yesterday afternoon to get the integral wifi for work!

Configure Wifi on Raspberry Pi

Well, I got myself a nano wifi dongle from Amazon, plugged it into my Pi, followed an on-line tutorial, and then.....Nothing!

 

It was one of those jobs I thought was gonna be real easy, because everyone was doing it.

 

So I just had to pour myself a glass of red, then decide on a logical approach to diagnose the problem.
