Using New Web based flasher connection problem

#1 Post by Patou » 08 Aug 2021, 22:37

Hello,
I tried the new web based flasher on chrome and downloaded the latest firmware.
I took the 20210615_normal_Esp8266_4M1M.
The download works fine but ...
I do not find the wifi network of the unit like the one normally available at start.
Connecting with serial monitor I get the messages :

Code: Select all

127779 : Info   : IP   : Static IP : 192.168.0.209 GW: 192.168.0.1 SN: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 8.8.8.8
127781 : Info   : WIFI : Arduino wifi status: WL_IDLE_STATUS 0 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED
What do I wrong ?
Is there a way to get the latest firmware on another way ?

I've not yet updated the web flasher to the newest build (of begin August), as it still has to be done manually.

The logs you gave indicate it is using static IP.
Did the unit have a previous setup?
Have you power cycled the unit after flashing? I noticed that it sometimes need that after serial flashing.
When connected to serial, you can also try to set the WiFi credentials using commands:

Code: Select all

wifissid MyWiFiSSID
wifikey MyTopSecretWiFiKey
save
N.B. you can't correct typo's using backspace, so better create those lines in some notepad and copy/paste them.

Hello TDer
Thanks for quick reaction
Indeed the unit was already used, and with another IP range
So I flash the unit on the conventional way with the latest august firmware.
Using this way, the unit shows up with his wifi network , I could connect and saw indeed that the static ip was out of range of the current network !!
Have a good night
