- Mon May 08, 2017 7:55 pm #65731 I am having trouble with my project, please see the pdf file for all the information:

Basically I just can't seem to get my esp8226 to connect to anything over wifi with my code that I am using as per the above file, feel like I have tried all the common solutions, turning on and off again, checking different things on the network, moving them closer to one another etc...

I have used all the latest libraries and the latest version of arduino.

It is a wemos d1 mini.

This is quite a difficult project I am finding in terms of explanation, if there is anything I have missed then please feel free to ask me.

Pi3 running in ad hoc mode on ip address 192.168.1.1 this is running the OS thingbox,

I don't think the ESP8266 works in ad-hoc mode. Try configuring the Pi3 as an access point.

BTW, the ESP8266 should connect to regular office and home WiFi routers/access points. If you cannot get this to work, you may have a defective ESP board. Try testing the ESP separately from the Pi3 using a simple example program and a "normal" WiFi router.

Do you have a source / evidence that the esp8266 can not run in ad hoc mode please? Do you know of a link or tutorial of how to set my pi up in this respect so I can do a direct connection to it, but not in ad hoc mode?
