Re: MESH network (any sort of?)
Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2014 8:16 am[Work Update]
Just flash the firmware. Restart and any ESP can now connect automatically with the Best Node (best RSSI) near-by in the specific Series of SSID.
Just thinking for a good strategy when to Refresh the list to aware if the remote AP (with whom it was connected) is still alive or not. As of now, there is No Signaling in case of remote AP stop/failure. A periodic scan may be good option. But interrupt call will be preferable.

OK. The algo implemented.
1. After starting/restarting, the ESP will scan and connect to best available AP from proper SSID-series [ignoring other SSID].
2 At every 15 sec [configurable], it will scan the current AP status either connected or not, and at every 15*8 [configurable] i.e. 2 mins it will forcely scan the full network to associate the best one.
3. AT 15 sec, if AP lost, it will rescan (full scan) and will connect to available AP.
The Full scan means (+CWLAP) and filter the SSIDs and then sorting (bubble, increasing order). Presently fixed at max 10 AP [configurable].
Testing on progress...
