upload espeasy with arduino, no AP

[sander815]

i am using a nodemcu v3 to tryout espeasy.
I downloaded the latest arduino, 1.8.1, moved the libraries to arduino folder.
I opened the sketch, compile and upload it. Everything ok

in serial monitor i see this:
INIT : Booting Build nr:120
WIFI : Connecting... 1
WIFI : Connected!
INIT : I2C
INIT : Boot OK
INIT : Normal boot
WD : Uptime 0 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28904
WD : Uptime 1 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28872
WD : Uptime 1 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28840

But, i am not seeing a new AP, or when i enter my own network settings, i don't see it connect to my own network.

Try in the serial monitor this command: settings

[groovy]

INIT : Booting Build nr:120
WIFI : Connecting... 1
WIFI : Connected!
INIT : I2C
INIT : Boot OK
INIT : Normal boot
WD : Uptime 0 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28904
WD : Uptime 1 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28872
WD : Uptime 1 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 28840

So, did you eventually changed the standard WiFi settings in the sketch to your real settings? Then it just connects to your network and doesn't provide an AP.

I tried Both. Both say connecties, but i dont see it in my router as connected

i tried again with latest, opened in arduino, change nothing, compile and upload, but no AP.
i am using this esp8266:

and my settings:

Code: Select all

#define DEFAULT_NAME        "newdevice"         // Enter your device friendly name
#define DEFAULT_SSID        "TomatoRAF2"              // Enter your network SSID
#define DEFAULT_KEY         "mypass"            // Enter your network WPA key
#define DEFAULT_SERVER      "192.168.1.137"       // Enter your Domoticz Server IP address
#define DEFAULT_PORT        8080                // Enter your Domoticz Server port value
#define DEFAULT_DELAY       60                  // Enter your Send delay in seconds
#define DEFAULT_AP_KEY      "configesp"         // Enter network WPA key for AP (config) mode

#define DEFAULT_USE_STATIC_IP   false           // true or false enabled or disabled set static IP
#define DEFAULT_IP          "192.168.1.138"      // Enter your IP address
#define DEFAULT_DNS         "192.168.1.1"       // Enter your DNS
#define DEFAULT_GW          "192.168.1.1"       // Enter your gateway
#define DEFAULT_SUBNET      "255.255.255.0"     // Enter your subnet

i don't see an AP, nor do i see it on my connected devices, or can i ping the ip

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.1.138

Pinging 192.168.1.138 with 32 bytes of data:

You have default ip settings as false therefore it will probably default to the 192.168.4.x subnet

Change it to true and recompile.

I dont think an AP will be available as the settings have been modded.

[DeNB3rt]

you better let the DHCP provide an ip to your ESP device, when connected to ur AP. After doing 'settings' in serial monitor, the ip will be shown

[nick-head]

Unless you are like me and dont have a massive house therefore needing dhcp is not an option..
You dont have mulit-subnet capabilities by the look of it.

For me, a static IP. The choice is yours.

no, i cannot get it to work
i also tried flashing with esptool.exe

Code: Select all

@echo off
esptool.exe -vv -cd nodemcu -cb 115200 -cp COM4 -ca 0x00000 -cf ESPEasy_R120_4096.bin
pause

I assume i should see an AP now, when i read the instructions?
I am running the nodemcu from usb power, i assume that is correct?

[sander815]

could it be a hardware mismatch with my main router and the esp8266 hardware?
I have 2 routers, one ziggo connectbox(hardware unknown) and an TP-Link archer C7.
When i enter the Archer C7 wifi settings its working fine, when i enter the ziggo connectbox wifi settings, i cannot get access

[sander815]

fixed it. Esp8266 was ot in dhcp list and wireless connected devices, but a network scan revealed its ip. Very strange
