I have two Photons posting temperature data to a server using the httpclient library.
The first is rock solid: it immediately connects to wifi, consistently flashes, and handles HTTP requests quickly.
The second is fickle. It takes its time connecting to wifi if it does all (flashing green, sometimes redx3 to cyan, etc…), flashing code is inconsistent, and HTTP requests succeed maybe 50% of the time. I’m often seeing:
HttpClient> Connection failed.
HttpClient> Response status: -1
-or-
HttpClient> Error: Timeout while reading response.
HttpClient> Status Code:
HttpClient> Error: Can’t find HTTP response body.
Both boards have identical code and hardware setups. Any idea why the second doesn’t like to play nice? I’ve reset it (when that was still possible via the firmware), run with safe mode, unclaimed/reclaimed the device, re-run the wifi setup procedures, run the keys doctor, reflashed the firmware. While the first board is posting successful HTTP requests nearly every second, the other board makes a successful request maybe every 5 to 10. Any ideas?
