I've built a DCC++EX base station on a Mega with Wifi from an ESP8266, and everything works. I now want to see if I can get it to connect with ESP8266 running WifiMulti. My layout is outside and in, with several connected APs. Here's the issue: I can upload WifiMulti to the ESP8266 with the Arduino IDE easily enough. When finished, the ESP8266 connects properly to each of the APs... until I plug it into the command station. I changed the config file to #define DONT_TOUCH_WIFI_CONF. Here's what I see in the serial monitor when I boot it up... <* LCD0: DCC++ EX v3.1.0 *> <* LCD1:Starting *> <* ++ Wifi Setup Try 1 ++ *> <* Wifi Check: [+IPD\0] *> <* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* Wifi Check: [\r\nOK\r\n\0] *> WiFi connected: LESRR 192.168.1.209\r\n<* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* ++ Wifi Setup NO AT ++ *> <* ++ Wifi Setup Try 2 ++ *> <* Wifi Check: [+IPD\0] *> <* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* Wifi Check: [\r\nOK\r\n\0] *> <* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* ++ Wifi Setup NO AT ++ *> <* ++ Wifi Setup Try 3 ++ *> <* Wifi Check: [+IPD\0] *> <* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* Wifi Check: [\r\nOK\r\n\0] *> <* TIMEOUT after 200ms *> <* ++ Wifi Setup NO AT ++ *> <* MotorDriver currentPin=A1, senseOffset=0, rawCurentTripValue(relative to offset)=668 *> <* MotorDriver currentPin=A5, senseOffset=0, rawCurentTripValue(relative to offset)=500 *> <iDCC-EX V-3.1.0 / MEGA / IBT_2_WITH_ARDUINO_SHIELD G-4a2513d> <* Signal pin config: normal accuracy waveform *> <* LCD1:Ready *> <* LCD2:Free RAM= 6308b *> <* LCD2:Free RAM= 6270b *> FYI, the first AP it should try to connect to is LESRR - and it seems to do that, at least for a moment. Can anyone tell me what's happening after? And more importantly, what should I adjust? Any help is much appreciated!
You might also consider going to DCC-EX's Discord channel here.... https://discord.com/invite/PuPnNMp8Qf .... if you don't find an answer here. Those guys are up 24/7 and are pretty good at technical stuff (actually real good). Sounds like an interesting layout. Maybe post some pictures of it here at some point? Sumner
