Hide your SSID when using WiFi controlled JMRI DCC control at exhibitions

[Retiarius]

I have been developing a JMRI (Java Model Railway Interface) DCC (Digital Command Control) system for my exhibition layout

Thanks for passing on this information which I'm sure will be useful to some (if not to me). Thanks, too for persisting in finding an answer when others might have just shrugged and conceded defeat - this is how progress is made!

P.S.  I hope Boeing and others show similar persistence in finding out why 737 Max 8s tend to fall out of the sky...

Hi
Users should also be aware that if you have your smart phone set to find a hidden SSID, whilst it is NOT connected to a network it will continue to hunt for that hidden SSID - Thus using its battery unnecessarily.

This may lead to a more to rapid battery depletion than your expecting.
