Connecting to WIFI after esp_light_sleep_start()
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2020 9:05 amHello,
I ve a ESP-12F board. It shall sleep until it gets an interrupt (GPIO) and then immediately notify a server via WIFI and then sleep again - till the next interrupt.
I ve created an example program for testing, see user_main.c on github.com.
It sends two messages via UDP, then sleeps 5 seconds and sends the two messages again:
Before going to light_sleep, the WIFI connection is established every time (100%). But after the light_sleep, fails from time to time (sometimes it works fine for 70 cycles - but sometimes it fails on the second sleep):
When it works fine, the output looks like this:
This is the same trace, when the wifi debugs are enabled:
I'm using the `ESP8266_RTOS_SDK` from branch `release/v3.3`, together with the `xtensa-lx106 1.22.0-100-ge567ec7`. The setup is downloaded/installed by setup.sh.
Is there something wrong in my code? Do I need additional sleeps? It's really a pity that the wifi code is closed source!

Code: Select all
while (1) {
for (int cnt=0; cnt < 2; cnt++) {
send_udp_packet();
sleep(1);
}
ESP_ERROR_CHECK( esp_wifi_stop() );
ESP_ERROR_CHECK( esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup(5*1000*1000) );
ESP_LOGE(TAG, " ---> enter light sleep");
ESP_ERROR_CHECK( esp_light_sleep_start() );
ESP_LOGE(TAG, " ---> returned from light sleep");
ESP_ERROR_CHECK( esp_wifi_start() );
sleep(6);
}Before going to light_sleep, the WIFI connection is established every time (100%). But after the light_sleep, fails from time to time (sometimes it works fine for 70 cycles - but sometimes it fails on the second sleep):
