SugarDrive WiFi Testing: Field Trials Available
How You Can Help
In my previous post, I explained how SugarDrive relies on WiFi to access data. For in-vehicle use, the display connects to a smartphone hotspot. The WiFi-connected version of SugarDrive is now ready for field testing.
If you’re interested in trying the WiFi-connected SugarDrive, please review the Setup Instructions. If you’re comfortable with technology and would like to test a display, fill out this form. I can organize a meeting in La Crosse, WI, to distribute SugarDrive displays and assist with setup. Your feedback will help us evaluate whether the WiFi connection method is a viable option moving forward.
Exploring Bluetooth Options
Over the past month, we configured multiple phones with different operating systems, and I noticed more variability than expected. As a result, I plan to explore Bluetooth connection options, as the M5StickC Plus2 display supports Bluetooth. This would require developing an app.
