....or is it me
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 12:12 amOne of my projects last year was to build a simple HTTP server for relay control. I used one of the common examples to start out. Long story short, after a learning curve, all went well. I wanted to use that same basic code for a current project, and ran into this situation. At that time I was using Arduino IDE 1.6.4 I'll place a snippet here that I refer to:
This tests for connection, and outputs "." to the serial monitor until connection. As stated this worked in the past. Since then I updated to IDE 1.8.0 and I loaded the server code and it sits in the above loop forever. If I check my wifi monitor, the module has indeed connected with a valid IP address.
But the program does not know it has connected. I reverted back to IDE 1.6.8 with the same results. If I "rem" out all but the delay, (remove the while statement) the server runs fine. Note, that the above snippet is only part of the total wifi setup, and is a standard from this site.

Has anyone else seen this? Or is it me.......
Code: Select all
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");

. So is there a place where all the different "short-comings" are documented
