And when I try to connect to my router, though iwscan sees it, It's not connecting

iwmode STA
iwconfig east-wing 1921681266

This should work - doesnt' - and doesn't seem to give any error.. just again what I assume are some kind of control characters (I'm using the Arduino serial monitor on PC)

Hi,
trying to compile this on the VM with the current 'git' code and I'm getting :

/home/esp8266/esp8266-frankenstein/antares/make/Makefile.build:8: /home/esp8266/esp8266-frankenstein/src/espconn//Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/esp8266/esp8266-frankenstein/src/espconn//Makefile'.
make[2]: Failed to remake makefile `/home/esp8266/esp8266-frankenstein/src/espconn//Makefile'.


Any ideas ?

(There is a netapps directory in git - which seems to include some espconn* files ?)

Hold on, I'll try to finally clean up the makefile and buildsystem this evening.
It's not very trivial or documented to setup it right now.

Code: Select alliwmode STA
iwconnect east-wing 1921681266


After - see ifconfig output to check that you're connected
If you prefer static ip configuration instead of dhcp:

Code: Select allsetenv sta-mode static
setenv sta-ip 192.168.0.1
setenv sta-netmask 255.255.255.0
setenv sta-gw 192.168.0.8
saveenv
reset


to revert back to dhcp:

Code: Select allsetenv sta-mode dhcp
saveenv
reset

- is there a way to get the RSSI of the connected link in STA mode apart from disconnecting and doing a network scan?
