Status indication?

[luu5]

Is there an output which provides AP status? I would like to have a light, and perhaps a beeper, to indicate the status of the AP. I have had couple of occasions that AP has turned off, for whatever reason. And seeing a green/red LED would make this more obvious.

it is not really programmed to turn off.

so I am first curious about what exactly happened. Did it change mode? Is it possible it rebooted?

as for the green/red LED.. do you mean one wired into the pi somewhere? It is possible to monitor status using pypilot_client or even to write simple python scripts which watch changes like ap.enabled and such a script could easily turn on/off the led.

I have a capacitive touch buttons at the moment, and something (a drop of water?) may have caused it to turn off.

Yes I meant a hardwired indicator. Thank you for the suggestions.
