ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi all, thanks for all the help so far, I've been reading this forum for a while but this is my first post. I haven't been able to find much info on this issue here or anywhere else.

I have my sketch up and running. When it's connected through my home ASDL is works pretty well, however, when I use a mobile broadband router (Huawei mi-fi thing) it fails about 95% of the time. So I switched on debugging to see what's going on, but I can't find any information to interpret the debugging messages. Here's what I get when the connection works

[hostByName] request IP for: myhost.com
[hostByName] Host: myhost.com IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
:ref 1
:wr
:sent 87
:rn 206
:ww
:c0 1, 206
:rcl
:abort
:ur 1
:del
x61

And this is a failed connection

[hostByName] request IP for: myhost.com
[hostByName] Host: myhost.com IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
:ref 1
:wr
:sent 87
:ww
:ur 1
:close
:del

Does anyone know what these messages mean? Can I enable more detail? Is there a document? I have other scenarios where it fails or resets and i'd like to debug those too.

Cheers!

Did you find out what the codes mean? Debugging something similar but haven't found much info on it.

Search through the arduino code for the various debug messages :-

If your on windows search here :- C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266

For example, the first message

:ref 1

comes out of the file

hardware\esp8266\2.2.0\libraries\ESP8266WiFi\src\include\ClientContext.h
line 89
DEBUGV(":ref %d\r\n", _refcnt);

From there you can see whats going on , does that make sense?
