flash air or any other wifi card for web app?

Question

according to flash air developer if viewing/downloading /uploading content from a web browser or smart phone web browser I have to copy some files to the card . Can I get access to the card without copying any file to the card? The reason I am asking is I am developing a WEB APP ( not a native android or iOS app) that need to connect and have access to the card but if I succeed in this app I can not tell people to buy the card and make them to copy some files to the card. I need the app directly have access to the card a from within the web app make them change password and setting for the card Is this possible with this card or any other wi-fi card?

Answer 1

I think the app i just did can meet your request. but it is not the web based. You will have to make your own web app/script then.

if you are interested, i can share the code to you. Basically, the http request from android app is the same with web app.

The files you normally copy to the card are to configure it as a unique card.

Otherwise the cards all arrive with same defaults.

While the cards have different MACs the default password [12345678] and URL [http://flashair/] will be the same for all the cards. This means you can read any new card without writing any files to the card.

However, you need to know/change the MasterCode to write to the card and as far as I can tell that is different from card to card.

So reading is okay, writing requires the user at-least read the config file to get the MasterCode and enter it into your app. I have not tried it, but it may be possible to read the config from your app and get the MasterCode that way.
