LuaPlayer 0.16 Now With WiFi Scanning!
Youresam, the creator of the online Lua Library known to developers as netlib has released yet another online application today, this one being a LuaPlayer v0.16 modification which allows it to scan for WiFi access points! This is a modification and therefore LuaPlayer v0.16 is still required, this new file simply overwrites a few of the old files and adds the WiFi scanning function. For those developers interested in developing homebrew applications that may use these functions, here’s the code:
- Wlan.scanInit() – Activates the wifi
- Wlan.scan() –Returns a table similar to System.listDirectory(), except you have .name, .mac, and .strength (EXAMPLE: gotscan = Wlan.scan(), gotscan[1].name is the first wireless points name)
- Wlan.scanTerm() -Turns off the wifi
Remember this though, do not try to use the Wlan.scanInit() if the Wlan switch on your PSP is off as this will crash the PSP. Have fun! It may not be as glorious as the XMB‘s WiFi scanning tool but it certainly does the job. Thanks for the tip TheMarioKarters!
