Let's Control It

Hope this is the right place for this.
I am trying to get this up and running to experiment. I seem to get the firmware loaded and it runs but no matter how many ways or times I try it will not connect to my router. Just keeps saying "cant connect to AP! I have tried from serial terminal and the web page setup portal and always the same thing. Also when I type "settings" in the terminal it never seems to save the wifi info. Only thing that may be affecting is my router ssid is hidden. But this is the only thing I have had any difficulty with.

I've loaded the firmware multiple times and keep getting the same. Is this still getting attention or is it dormant?

Using this module. Thoughts?

Do you have any special characters in the router's name, or in the password?
There is an issue about special characters not working with WiFi.

Use a serial monitoring program and copy what the software reports.

Is there more then "cannot connect..."?

Copy and paste to the forum.

besides that follow TDer's hint.

Here is the serial log output. I put xxx where wifi ssid and key go. No special characters in the router config.

Type settings after connection attempt and the correct values are there. After reboot they are gone.

Strange.
The values are saved with an extra command "save".
See https://letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.ph ... _Reference

But i have no clue why it did not connect.

I changed my wifi settings and un-hid the network and it connected right away. Maybe a bug?

Good question.
I'll try to verify if i get some spare time (damn seasons time... ).

If it is a bug it should be mentioned on github.

I'm interested in trying this myself. Which version firmware are you using, and where can I find it, please?

Download link is at the bottom of the page. I just came across this by accident. It does not seem to be getting much advertisement.

Do you have a link for this project on Github?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
