@armor we’re using the default system mode and no multi threading in our current firmware. We kept to 0.6.2 precisely because of the RAM issues with softAP which we understand all too well - see Listening mode on the Photon cannot work reliably in current implementation
I just checked and the batch of Photons we have come programmed with firmware v0.5.5 by default.
On a separate note, can you point me in the direction of the 1.5.x memory issue details please? We are currently developing on top of this firmware and haven’t noticed any memory issues yet (apart from what has been experienced before).
A WiFi’o’meter is good way to test, as well as dB and % quality, what other specific details would be useful about the environment?
The problem is not related to connecting to the customer WiFi, we are not getting that far. To be clear:
- The problem is connecting to the Photon itself i.e. Photon-ABCD123.
- The problem persists across multiple firmware versions, including the factory default firmware.
- The problem does not appear the very first time you enter WiFi details but all subsequent times. I.e. out of the box, you can connect, disconnect and reconnect many times, but as soon as those WiFi details are sent over, regardless if they are correct or not, you will not be able to connect to the Photon softAP again.
- The problem only appears at the customer premises (so far). Which is why I’d like to do a wide range of tests while there so we might be able to reproduce the problem back at the lab.
