## Connecting

Thanks to the awesome work by roboberry in [auto-wifi](http://www.raspberryconnect.com/network/item/331-raspberry-pi-auto-wifi-hotspot-switch-no-internet-routing) PiBot is able to offer automatic ad hoc wifi connections if no known wifi is available.

### How it works

During bootup if no wifi networks are known it will automatically create an adhoc network with an SSID of Pi_Bot and passphrase pibothotspot. Once connected PiBot will be available on 10.0.0.5

If you want you can ssh to the pi on 10.0.0.5 and edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf with a known wifi in the area and reboot.

## Debugging on remote raspberry pi

### Setup Raspberry PI

In order to make the makefile work correctly a ssh public key must be added to the pi for authentication.

### Deploy

Build arm binary, copy to remote host, and execute it.

```

make remote_debug

```

### Kill

Stop the bot on the remote host

```

make remote_kill

```
