ESP8266 Community Forum

- Thu Dec 29, 2016 5:19 pm #60111 I'm no expert on ESP and have been plugging away at figuring this stuff out. It looks like the "*WM: " lines are debug text spit out of the wifi manager. I'm not sure how to change it, but it appears that the GW settings are stored in EEPROM. I don't know how to purge that to get it back to a default configureation so it will run like the documentations suggests so right now I'm stuck. I'll keep playing/reading, but I don't think I'll make much more progress without a hint.

- Fri Dec 30, 2016 8:02 pm #60180 If you want to see the WiFiManger screens, turn your WiFi router off, then power up the ESP8266. WM will not find the pre-configured router SSID so it will go into AP mode. Enter your SSID/password then turn the router back on.

- Sat Dec 31, 2016 8:18 pm #60219 I changed the SSID of my router and tried the sketch again. This time it didn't do anything (didn't connect and didn't offer an AP).

Code: Select allRFM69 WiFi Gateway
External System
connected
MDNS.begin failed
Connect to http://rfm69gw1.local or http://0.0.0.0

Listening at 915 91 MHz

I must be missing something. Maybe I should be asking the author if the sketch hasn't been used much here.

- Sat Dec 31, 2016 11:35 pm #60225 In a last ditch effort, I was able to get the AP working by uncommenting a few lines of code in the wifi_setup function. I still can't get past that point, but at least I made a small bit of progress.
