SoftAP rejects my wifi password always

I have a Photon for clients that will need to update their wifi now and then.

I added a pushbutton that clears the wifi credentials after a few seconds of being pushed, so when it reboots it will enter listen mode and run the softAP code, which scans for wifis and passwords.

  1. how much memory does this take? I suspect a LOT since my photon is telling me over serial that it has about 4000 bytes free. However when it is not in softAP it has over 30000 bytes free.
  2. why is it that sometimes it wont load any page on 192.168.0.1 but instead it wants me do download a file?
    3.Is there a reliable alternative that makes an update of wifi credentials easy (without using the particle app obviously). When I finally log into 192.168.0.1, choose a wifi and provide the password it usually connected and started breathing cyan, now it just stays blinking dark blue and wont reload or do anything as if the password was wrong but Im very sure it is correct.

the softAP code im using is this:

There are several threads discussing this but I think the answer to the problem you are seeing is that there is insufficient RAM/memory to run the WiFi setup process and the password entry issue is a manifestation of a ‘silent failure’ due to lack of heap. I test for freememory before starting WiFi setup and if less than 38200 I have found it unreliable - SoftAP uses up ~22K and then you need a minimum 15K heap.

Hi @plusmartin -

I have some code I can share that is currently working for me in a “similar” way… Important to know though is instead of clearing the credentials each time, I simply put the device in listen mode when pressing the button. in my case, there is no need to force listen mode by clearing credentials first.

//  Project:        Listen Mode with SoftAP
//                  A project by FireFli (PTY) LTD

//  Date:           December 2019
//  Compiled by:    Friedl Basson - FireFli
//                  
//  Details:        The purpose of the code is to put device in listening mode IF:
//                  1.) Put device in listen mode when A2 is pulled to GND.
//                  2.) Exit listen mode after set time 
//

My apologies for not being able reference the source if the softAP code for credit, but it will be in the forum somewhere. I just edited according to my need.

Hope this helps!
Friedl.

thanks,

I think your softAP code is the same as mine, with minor differences.
So by running WiFi.listen(); the photon will launch the softAP code?
I thought it would only run on STARTUP, and I dont see any reset.
I tested your code , which basically just runs WiFi.listen(); directly instead of clearing credentials and rebooting. The photon generated its wifi but nothing loaded when searching for 192.168.0.1

Is there any way to reduce those 22k of ram required? Maybe removing text or something?
thanks

Hi @plusmartin -

hmmm, not not exactly. calling WiFi.listen(); only puts the device in Listen Mode. See the code below:

attachInterrupt(A2, connect, FALLING);

And the the code in void loop()

I make use of interrupt pin to trigger Listen Mode. As soon as the pin is pulled LOW/GND (FALLING), Listen Mode (); is called. I have done this by connecting A2 to GND via a button. When the button is pressed, circuit completes and A2 is pulled LOW to activate Listen mode (); Of course you can change it to HIGH (RAISING) instead if need be.

void loop() {
    
     if(connectToCloud) {
        if(Particle.connected() == false) {
             Particle.connect();
             connectToCloud = false;

        }
    }
}

 void connect() {
     connectToCloud = true;
     WiFi.listen();
    }

This section continuously check the interrupt pin. If LOW/GND, it will call Wifi.listen();

I tested your code , which basically just runs WiFi.listen(); directly instead of clearing credentials and rebooting. The photon generated its wifi but nothing loaded when searching for 192.168.0.1

This is strange, I just double checked, it works fine on my side and some of my clients are using this. Just to make sure, you are connecting to to the Photon's Wifi again once in Listen Mode correct??

Blow is the SoftAP screen I get:

I had some issues with a Photon before where it behave unexpectedly after numerous flashes, which not even Particle doctor could fix. I had to manually flash all the firmware and bootloader files which then finally solved the problem. If I am not mistaken, I commented on this in a previous question you asked on the forum? :wink:

Well, you can remove all comments but I doubt it will make a significant difference. I am busy stripping it down the rest to the absolute minimum, but many people will advice on BLE for handling this matter. Ofcourse then you will have to be using Gen3 devices, which seems to be the way going forward :slight_smile:

Hope this helps!!

Can you please comment more on the Gen3 devices?

My photons are completely useless, they were able to run the softAP flawlessly and now, even with much more free RAM, they just wont work.

Also, do you have some guidance for reflashing the firmware? neither particle doctor nor the particle app work. This is something quite disappointing from Particle, this should be bulletproof and it is not.

OK, thats it. Enough.
This is my ENTIRE code (first half)
You only need to add the Sparktime and ds18b20minimal libraries.

It basically reads a sensor for a few seconds and depending on what it reads it publishes to the cloud.
If I press a button it publishes right away, if I press it for longer it deletes the counter and resets it to cero, and if I press it for a bit longer it deletes wifi credentials, goes into wifi.listen and runs softAP.
Everything works as expected except for the softAP.

Is it RAM? I doubt it it since my code is very basic.
Please, someone, tell me what the hell is going on!!!
ps. I am terribly sorry for the messy code, bad indentation, etc, etc.

Hi @plusmartin

Hhm.... I am not 100% sure what type of information you want? In my opinion, probably going forward Gen3 devices, so Argon for WiFi and Boron for cellular, is the way to go. I enjoy working with Photons due to the smaller footprint. In your case, using an Argon as apposed to the Photon might help due to the higher RAM spec * 256KB RAM vs * 128KB RAM. Having said that I am using SoftAP on Photons and have no had any problems so far. Gen3 devices will also give you the option to use BLE as apposed to SoftAp. I have not done this before but maybe someone with more experience in this can help.

Sure, are you using OSx or Windows? I am using OSx do here is is what I did.

  1. Download the four files I mentioned form Github. Make sure to download both Part1 and Part2 for photon firmware.
  2. Install and update Particle CLI on you computer
  3. On OSx... open Terminal (or CLI in workbench)
  4. Connect device to you USB port
  5. Make sure devices is in DFU mode (flashing yellow)
  6. In terminal type: particle flash --usb and then simply drag the downloaded files into the terminal (one by one) window. It will automatically enter te file name and path. The device should remain in DFU mode after each flash, unlike Particle Doctor.
  7. Hit Enter. When done, repeat with the next file, in this order:

You should see something like below:

Regards,
Friedl

HI @plusmartin -

With regards to you code, I will run it on one of my Photons and see whether I can produce the same problem. With regards to C++, I am by no means an expert, but whenever I have undesired outcome from code, I strip it down into key sections and start testing with the first most basic block of code.

In my opinion, this would be the SOFT AP section together with the pushing the button to set it to listen mode again.

When that is working without incident, start adding. additional button functionality and lastly sensor readings.

Please note, this is simply how I would approach it… It by no means imply it is the right way, but this is how I solve my C++ problems :slight_smile:

I truly hope this helps :slight_smile:
Regards, Friedl.

thanks friedl I appreciat your help!

I have mac too so I will try to flash it as you recommend.
Thank you also for your recoomendations regarding softAP.
You mentioned you use softAP without problems, can you comment on how much used ram and rom you have on your projects when you compile (verify) them?
In my case i have about 44kb flash and 5.3kb of ram. Is this a lot? I dont think so.

I suspect the softAP runs out of ram when it is launched and starts behaving erratically and different every time, sometimes the softAP page on 192.168.0.1 never shows up, other times it does but no photon ID appears, other times I can scan wifis and enter the password but it just ignores me and keeps blinking blue.

thanks again! =)
regards
Martin

i tried also with --force


I flashed tinker and it did work so the USB cable is ok.

i downloaded the binaries from: https://github.com/particle-iot/particle-cli/tree/master/assets/updates

Hi -

Suspect the 5kb Ram is a problem yes, I have around 25kb available.

I just uploaded SoftAP and very basic 10 line sketch and total is ±37kB of RAM usage. If I combine that with in example the 38kB used by a Pump Switch and power monitor sketch (38kB) I suspect I might start running into problems as well, but I will combine the two and test.

From the screen grab it seems you downloaded device os 1.5.1?? I did not use these files, I used 1.5.0. Refer to the files below:

I downloaded them from THIS LINK If you want, you can give them a try?

Just off the top of my head, it seems Argon my be the way you want to go using SoftAP and larger applications. There are some concern that SoftAP can be a tad bit resource intensive, I am just not sure what the alternative is for WiFi connection. I know Blynk has a function called Blynk_Inject but of course this will mean you have to use Blynk as UI and it comes with a hefty price tag of US166 p/m.

There might be some clever guys that have managed to solve this in a different way, but I have not found them on this forum. Easy WiFi end-user setup seems to be a challenge for many.

Let me know ion the V1.5.0 files help. If not, might be worth submitting a support ticket.

Regards,
Friedl.

it continues to be an annoying photon..

As for ARGON, the problem is that all of particles products are very expensive and honestly less and less reliable. It may be a stupid error but, if finding it is as hard as this then it may be worth considering another option such as ESP32. Yes, the OTA updates are great but once I have a stable version I wont need them anymore. Not sure, im just very frustrated, I have spend three weekends already sitting here watching a stupid blue LED for hours.

I wish there was a more robust way to update wifi credentials, it should be something basic.

HI -

I am sorry I could not have been of more help and that you are frustrated with the WiFi credentials.

I am not sure that this is a ‘concern’ only pertaining to Particle WiFi products though. Before Particle, I used both Arduino and NodeMCU and I recall hardcoding WiFi credentials before shipping to clients. Not sure whether there are maybe new things now that I am not aware of.

I spent some time trying to implement your code with my version off SoftAP but with no success. Could simply not get the code to compile, What I have found though is that your code by itself only utilises 44kB of RAM on my Photon :thinking:

Are you using D6 as your interrupt pin? I will try again to get your code to compile.

Regards
Friedl.

I really appreciate your help, sorry for venting my frustrations haha.

The code should compile, you just need to paste both parts (it wont let me paste it all at once).
Then add the libraries SparkTime and DS18b20 minimal.

Yes, the code only uses 44k of flash and 5300 bytes or RAM (according to the output)
So, I think there is a super hidden bug somewhere, which also affects the ability to flash the bootloader maybe?

To enter wifi listen I am interrupting via a button on D6 that pulls to GND the signal.
It must be pushed for a few seconds because if pushed for shorter time it wont enter wifi.listen.

void resetWifi() is where I have tried many things, including clear credentials , reset, wifi listen etc.

The latest behavior is this:
I enter 192.168.0.1 and choose a wifi and password, then the photon stops blinking blue for about 1 second and starts blinking blue again instead of green or cyan.

HI -

EDIT: When I comment out the SoftAP section of your code, it compiles.

No problem :slight_smile: Been there, but always find a way to resolve it. There are some really clever guys in here that has helped me a lot.

I have copied and pasted both parts of you code but to no avail…

I wish I was better as coding, bit finding’s out why this is not compiling will take me a lifetime, lol. I lean much more towards hardware :smile: Are you using WebIDE?

@plusmartin, @friedl_1977, I’m looking at compiling the code on Workbench with DeviceOS v1.5.1. I’ll report back my findings.

Hi @peekay123 -

I managed to compile in Workbench eventually. I found the ‘problem’ the be SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);

I commented it out, changed to SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC); and moved SoftAP code to the top. It seems to be working, Is ent the compiled files to @plusmartin to check whether commenting out TE did not have any undesired effects :slight_smile:

What I could not figure out is why he is unable to to flash bootloader files via CLI. I have not been able to replicate that problem.

Thank you for helping, your assistance is always greatly appreciated!! :slight_smile: I am sure Martin will have someone better skilled also assisting on the matter, hehe.

Regards,
Friedl.

Hey friedl!

Your code adjustments are absolutely showing hope! It does in fact now let me enter softAP over and over.

I dont remember why I used the SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED); but there was a reason… I will monitor the photons behavior and see if there is anything strange.

So you moved the softAP stuff to the top, commented the SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED); and changed to SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC); ? thats it?
So far everything works, except the interrupt button, which only responds when resetting the photon. This is a much more viable solution for remote clients.

I will keep you posted and I will send you a bottle of tequila!

Martin
