WiFi TCP/IP Mock Server Guide for ABComm

This directory contains the Python TCP server script (wifi_server.py) that emulates the Raspberry Pi Pico microHIL firmware protocol over WiFi (TCP socket).

Prerequisites

• Python 3 installed on your computer.
• Computer and Android device connected to the same WiFi network (or local hotspot).

How to Run

1. Open terminal in the project root.
2. Run the server:

   python3 scripts/wifi/wifi_server.py --port 5000
   

3. The script will display its running IP addresses:

   ============================================================
     microHIL WiFi TCP Mock Server Running
   ============================================================
   Listening on: 0.0.0.0:5000
   Use one of these IP addresses in the ABComm app:
     -> 192.168.1.150 (Port: 5000)
   ============================================================
   Waiting for incoming connections...
   

Connecting from ABComm App
