This puts the device in WiFi monitor mode and **automatically** writes MCS telemetry to `fiwi-telemetry` on the SD card every 10 seconds. No extra configuration needed.

Use when the device is on the network (STA mode) and connected to the same LAN as the laptop. **No serial or device interaction required**—the device advertises itself via UDP broadcast on port 5555. Telemetry must already be on the SD card (from a previous monitor session, e.g. device ran monitor mode in the field, or rebooted back to STA).
**1. On the device:** Run `monitor stop` so it reconnects to WiFi. Telemetry is already on the SD card from when monitor mode was running.
