Tablet Wireless Networks

Wireless Lua cartridges can tether to omni power transmitters on the data network, letting scripts connect as if the tablet were wired in.

Listing Transmitters

local transmitters = ss.tablet.wireless.list()
for i, t in ipairs(transmitters) do
    print(i, t.name, t.id, t.network_id, t.distance .. "m")
end

Connecting

-- Connect by transmitter id (or network_id), with mesh enabled
local ok, err = ss.tablet.wireless.connect(transmitters[1].id, true)
if not ok then
    print("connect failed:", err)
end

Status

local status = ss.tablet.wireless.status()
print("connected:", status.connected, "in range:", status.in_range)

Disconnecting

ss.tablet.wireless.disconnect()
