So in AP mode, it would make the AP sooner after boot.
In client mode it would reconnect to the AP always, so if openplotter starts later or restarts it can reconnect.
This would be a third mode. It might be more useful to switch from AP to client without rebooting somehow?
Your remark is noted. Indeed, it would take longer for the TP to boot. If it needs to check if OP-AP is available. Your remark about being usefull (?) to switch from AP to client without rebooting would be usefull option (!). This way, TP would start in AP, and when OP is available, it would switch to client.
I plan on building a TP installation. But without any display. As this could be difficult to integrate in an outside installation. Therefore planning to use the raymarine conversion python script.
The automatic AP-Client mode switching could be usefull for accessibility.
