ESP-01 Wifi connectivity help
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:13 pm
Just to recap my plan, I'm trying to connect the ESP to a Telescope hand controller so that I can use an app via the iPhone/ipad to move my GoTo mount around the nights sky.
After my earlier problems I'm pleased to say I've managed to communicate with XTCOM & CoolTerm,
I've uploaded the latest Firmware for it, I've set the ESP as an Access point and set the SSID, password etc.
I can see its connected to my iPhone and when I type AT+CWLIF
I can see that the iPhone is connected to the WIFI through CoolTerm but it doesn't show the WIFI symbol on the title bar.
when I got to iPhone>Settings>Wifi >NexStar+ (My SSID of the ESP - connected to 192.168.4.2)
when I go to to my SkyPortal (a Celestron / Sky Safari 4 - Astronomy App on iOS) it wont connect to my scope as the WIFI isn't showing as connected in the app/title bar.
what am I doing wrong in terms of wifi conectivity
The scope uses basic TX, RX, and ground serial so should in theory work
Any help would be really welcomed I'm so Close so solving this.
thanks Rick
