Here I explain better what I would like to do with the Pi.

The Raspberry 3 Pi has Minibian installed and serves as a controller for a robot that needs the Wi-Fi connection to work properly.

Up to now I am using it in my house, so I know exactly the SSID and the password of the network, therefore I have set them as a scheme in the network interfaces file so that the Pi can connect to them after the boot.

The problem is that if I want to use the Raspberry in other places, I need to insert manually the new scheme containing the SSID and the password of the new network. So, what I want to do is that if the Pi doesn't find any known network, it builds its own Wi-Fi network (without being connected to internet), so that I can connect to it saying which is the SSID, I want it to connect to, and the related password.

Is it possible to do? Do you have any suggestions?

You can create an access point without Internet connection through the create_ap command line tool.

Features

Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).

Install create_ap:

git clone https://github.com/oblique/create_ap.git
cd create_ap
make install

AP without Internet sharing:

create_ap -n wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase

Project moved to linux-wifi-hotspot: A GUI interface which use create_ap as CLI. The above above command is valid.

git clone https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot
cd linux-wifi-hotspot
make
wihotspot
