neng-wifi-tools

WiFi configuration, OTA firmware updates, and device scanning for NEnG instruments.

Overview

This package provides WiFi and OTA management tools used by NEnG subproject GUIs (primarily temp-logger, but available to all subprojects):

CLI Entry Points

Installation

For development (editable, from monorepo root)

pip install -e neng-scpi-tools/    # dependency
pip install -e neng-wifi-tools/

As a dependency of a subproject

# Install the shared tools + the subproject together
pip install -e neng-scpi-tools/
pip install -e neng-wifi-tools/
pip install -e TMP117/Python/temp-logger/

Usage

from neng_wifi_tools.device_scanner import scan_for_devices
from neng_wifi_tools.wifi_config_gui import WiFiConfigGUI
from neng_wifi_tools.ota_client import OTAClient
from neng_wifi_tools.ota_manager_gui import OTAManagerGUI

Quick device scan

neng-device-scan                   # scan default subnet
neng-device-scan --subnet 10.0.0   # scan custom subnet
neng-device-scan --timeout 0.5     # faster scan, shorter timeout

Architecture

This package is the single source of truth for WiFi/OTA code shared across NEnG subprojects. It depends on neng-scpi-tools for the underlying serial/WiFi communication layer.
