Wifi does not work after light sleep
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2022 4:57 am
I have an application built with ESP_RTOS_SDK version 3.4.
It mainly runs in light sleep and wakes up every few seconds to take a reading. After collecting a set of readings, it turns on wifi and sends it to a server, then turns off wifi and starts collecting another set of data.
Unfortunately, Wifi does not always start after a light sleep:
I would appreciate suggestions about how to make it start.
I am using the following code to enter light sleep:
This works, but when I try to start Wifi after a light sleep, nothing happens. I stop wifi before light sleep and restart if afterwards using these two routines, which work correctly before a light sleep:

- reboot, start wifi ... works
reboot, light sleep, start wifi ... works
reboot, start wifi, stop wifi, light sleep, start wifi ... does not work
I would appreciate suggestions about how to make it start.
I am using the following code to enter light sleep:
Code: Select all
void light_sleep (void) {
gpio_wakeup_enable(GPIO_WAKE_PIN, GPIO_INTR_LOW_LEVEL);
esp_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup();
esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup (10000000L);
ESP_LOGI (TAG, "Entering light sleep");
esp_light_sleep_start ();
vTaskDelay (1);
// Wake up here
esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source (ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_GPIO);
esp_sleep_disable_wakeup_source (ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_TIMER);
ESP_LOGI (TAG, "Awake again");
}
This works, but when I try to start Wifi after a light sleep, nothing happens. I stop wifi before light sleep and restart if afterwards using these two routines, which work correctly before a light sleep:
Code: Select all
static void app_wifi_start (wifi_mode_t mode, int retries) {

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(mode));
