desolinanz - Hi, hoping someone can help me... ...
Hi, hoping someone can help me... I've used ESP32's for several projects in the past (mainly using Tasmota), but this is the first time i'm trying with PlatformIO and SensESP.
My problem is, I can never get the board to connect to a wifi network. Using the captive portal, the
save button on the wifi screen just doesn't do anything. Has anyone come across this before?
I've tried hardcoding the ssid/password in main.cpp as per the project template on GH - but still nothing. I am using very generic/cheap ESP32 boards from AliExpress which are unbranded. I've tried numerous board types in PlatformIO and they all give me the same result. Would love to get it working with the boards I have as I know they can connect with wifi using other platforms. Cheers!7 Replies
What are you using for access point and encryption? Raspberry Pi APs, in particular, only support fairly outdated encryption schems (for now, there's some |light at the end of the tunnel](https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4718), though.
I've relaxed the minimum accepted encryption in SensESP v3: https://github.com/SignalK/SensESP/blob/main/src/sensesp/net/networking.cpp#L55
But still, that might be an issue. Or actually, I can't see any other reason.

Hi @Matti Airas , thanks for the quick reply! I'm trying both my home wifi and the "standard" AP from the latest Openplotter. I've tried forcing to 2.4GHz etc. Still nothing... I might try removing all encryption on the PI's AP just to see if that makes a difference.
and my home wifi if WPA2 PSK
Hey, are you by chance trying to use v3.0.0-beta.1? That has a bug that prevents WiFi settings from being saved. Try using
https://github.com/SignalK/SensESP.git instead as the dependency.Unknown User•8mo ago

BOOM, yeah that did it. Thank you @Matti Airas ! Might be worth changing this line in that case. Changed to
lib_deps = https://github.com/SignalK/SensESP.git and all is well now.Unknown User•8mo ago

it worked for me as well. Thanks a lot for that post and the answer from @Matti Airas
