Hi.
I am building a controller for my hall lights (which are a single strip of addressable leds around the edge) using a pico w. The controller needs to turn on the lights twice a day but with the times varying depending on what shifts myself and my wife are working. So one day they come on at 4:30am, then it may be 6am then back to 4:30am etc.
I'm using a small CSV file to do this and it's pretty much working as I want. Initially I had this on a basic pico but am moving to a pico w so I can use WiFi and a webpage as an override switch if we need to turn the lights on / off temporarily at any point which is what I am starting to do code now.
As our shifts are fluid and change week to week, with some random starts on weekends) I need to update the CSV file every week or two as our next shifts are known. Is there a way I can do that over the WiFi connection rather than have to disconnect the pico, attach it to my laptop and change the file via Thony?
This is the only thing I cannot see how to do. I assumed, wrongly it seems, the pico would appear as an accessable device on my WiFi but it's not showing in Windows that I am aware of.
