Is there a way to run SoftAP on Argon boards? The complete example code from Photon docs doesn’t compile for Argon. Errors: variable ‘Header h’ has initializer but incomplete type invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct Writer’

The BLE-based device setup SDK (for iOS and Android mobile apps) is planned for the second quarter of 2019. This would allow Wi-Fi configuration of the Argon, Boron, and Xenon by BLE from custom apps. The ability to fully configure a device by USB should be available late Q1 or early Q2. Configura…

I just made a video asking @rickkas7 for a Web BLE based page that would allow us to easily pass data between the Gen3 Devices and the Web BLE webpage to accomplish the same features that SoftAP does on the Photon.

OK. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll simply wait to see what develops w/r/t BLE setup guidance. It was just soooo easy to use SoftAP to configure WiFi, but I want to continue to move forward with the new devices.

HI @RWB I need to star to deploy some Argon to customer without visiting to setup WiFi on Argon. When we can use SoftAp for Argon or similar way to setup an Argon with the customers WiFi without share my Particle account credentials ? Thanks

[image] steeves: When we can use SoftAp for Argon You cannot. But BLE should be an option.

@ScruffR can you point me on the doc about BLE please ?

AFAICT the next release of the Particle app should break out the WiFi setup from the device claiming and mesh setup task as an individual feature.

Actually, if I need to send some Argon to customers and provisioning into only one account without give Particle Cloud credentials, i need to wait the new release of the app ?

I’m doing some preliminary noodling for a new widget that I’d like to implement using the Particle ecosystem. Based on some quick referential investigation it appears that one of the core features I wanted to support (SoftAP) is not available for Gen3 devices? Q: One might ask, why use SoftAP with…

Nope, I don’t unfortunately and I haven’t heard from back @jensck_particle (IIRC he’s driving the Android App development) either.
