Need a way to connect to other wifi networks now that camp is over :)

Currently in Settings there is only an option to connect to the camp wifi.

Now that the camp is over there needs to be some way to connect the flow3r to other networks.

Work in progress, see !205 (merged)

If you want a quick hack to get connected to another wifi network...

• Connect via USB to a computer
• Boot the badge in Recovery Mode by holding down the right hand button whilst powering up
• Use the left button to choose the "Disk Mode (Flash)" option from the Recovery Mode menu
• On your computer, edit sys/st3m/wifi.py and change the wifi network name in line 15 + add your wifi passphrase as a second parameter e.g. iface.connect(b"My Wifi Network", "My Password")
• Now eject the USB device from your computer and choose Exit then Reboot from the Recovery Mode menus
• Wifi is disabled by default in settings.json, so you need to enable it when you need it via System > Settings

changed milestone to %Release 1.3

added feature ux labels

I made an app for this if you want: https://git.flow3r.garden/ave/w1f1

I meant it as a makeshift solution while I waited for !205 (merged) to be merged, but it also allows multiple wifi networks unlike the built-in config so perhaps it's still interesting to you.

handled by !205 (merged) and !235 (merged), will be in release 1.3.
