lcdwifi 0.2 - last updated October 2004

What does it do ? It shows the signal strength in one line, and on the second line, a graph with all the previous readings and the tx/rx load.

My roommates and I build a mp3 player box for the living room, and used a wifi link for the box. Of course, since the box is under the TV and surrounded by cables, the link quality is crap. So I wupped up this little piece of code so that we could see how the link was doing while transferring music to the box.

Major drawbacks:

• Only reads wifi cards bit rate at start time, so the tx/rx load doesn't account for changes in the link speed.
• Not at all tested for anything but 16x2 lines displays with 5x8 characters.
