Re: ESP8266 with easy webconfig
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2015 1:18 pm
I was excited to find this example using Arduino sketch code (as opposed to lua script), and was happy to find that it compiles, loads and starts up on my esp8266-01 module. However, connecting to the AP fails on my iPhone 6 and laptop. I can see the "ESP" signal OK, but cannot connect. Although I am certain I have entered the correct password (using the default), I get the following error from IOS 8.4.1 at every attempt: "Incorrect password for "ESP" - then after some more (~3) attempts, I get "Unable to join the network "ESP." What am I missing here?
BTW, when I connect from a nearby laptop, I get "Windows was unable to connect to ESP," then it seems to connect briefly (but not long enough to access the admin.html page), and finally drops the connection to ESP.
OK - Update: After further investigation and discussion research, I changed my 300mA power supply to a 1.5A unit, regulated down to 3.3v DC. Now, I am able to connect and access admin.html - wahoo!
BTW, the documentation on your web page (http://www.john-lassen.de/index.php/pro ... -webconfig) states to connect to http://192.168.4.1/admin.html after connecting to the ESP AP, but I saw in the code this line:
config.IP[0] = 192;config.IP[1] = 168;config.IP[2] = 1;config.IP[3] = 100;
This kinda looks as if the AP is set to 192.168.1.100. I'm no network engineer, but which is correct?
