Directly connect 2 Oaks to each other

[brohan]

Is it possible to connect 2 oaks to each other directly? Is there already a write up on this? If so approx what distance do the oaks have? 

 I would think that means neither one would then also connect to a wifi point unless with some kind of additional wifi shield correct?

I'm interested in using 2 oaks, one to monitor something with connected sensors, and send info to another oak, without having to go through the "cloud", or even a local server.

Basically yes. You would set one as a access point, and the other as a client. You can probably make it change from being a access point to a client in your code - haven't tried that yet. However, you should be able to make it connect to different access points if you need to - I'm sure I've seen some code on the forum where someone else wanted to do that.

EDIT: Yes, I had seen that... in this thread kcbudd got it to change which access point the Oak was connected to on demand.
