This template uses a Esp8266 board to sniff all wifi enabled devices that are nearby. You have basic arduino code, arduino code that communicates data via serial and processing code to visualize the data.
- a esp8266 enabled board. (tested with feather esp8266 from adafruit)
- arduino IDE
- you need to follow this guide to work with the feather 8266 in arduino IDE (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-huzzah-esp8266/using-arduino-ide)
- upload the code to your arduino board.
- optionnaly run the processing code.
- arduino code is self explanatory
- the processing code uses the void serialEvent (Serial myPort) {} function to receive the data from the board and fills up an ArrayList with unique devices.
- the Device stores the mac address, signal power and a timer value (for how long is it in the list) for each device.
