Hello,

I am trying to use mesh lib on eclipse.

Please go through my code and its output below. The code gets compiled and burned successfully. The ESP forms an AP. I connected a PC to it and a mobile to it and successfully pinged from PC to mobile. I am not getting the data at PC as TCP connection is not getting formed when I have statically assigned the IP 2.255.255.7 to the PC.

Now, when I burned another ESP with the code, I did not get any AP from it. How do I check whether my mesh is working correctly? Is my way of using mesh with TCP espconn correct?

Hello Shubham Jain ,
We are on same page me too working on mesh.I want to communicate between 3 to 4 esp modules.I am trying the code using espnow api but in eclipse it gives me error.I am compiling the code from http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php? ... 9&start=10.
If you have any idea let me know.Meanwhile i will test your code hope something will get from it and I will let you know .

After compilation of your code it shows following error.Can you provide your whole project file so I can get an idea

mingw32-make.exe -f C:/Espressif/examples/esp_MESH1234/Makefile all

Hi trendchaster,

I could not understand why your compiler is not getting the header file or library with user_init(); but I can tell you the procedure I followed.

I followed the steps listed on pg. 135 onwards in the book at this link. http://neilkolban.com/tech/esp8266/

Also, I downloaded the latest SDK from espressif website which has the mesh lib not separate mesh sdk.

Then I went to C:/Espressif and renamed folder ESP8266_SDK as ESP8266_SDK_130 and then appropriately placed the contents from latest sdk (1.4) to ESP8266_SDK.

Then I faced one issue in compiling which was that it was unable to find the mesh library. So I added the entry mesh to the LIBS macro in Makefile of helloworld example which I adapted in eclipse.

Then it got compiled.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Shubham Jain
