M5StickC Plus and Wifi

helo-head

Is there a known issue with Wifi when using the Ardunio IDE?

Using the Arduino IDE with the latest stable ESP32 Package (version 1.0.4) and the current version of M5StickC-Plus library (version 0.1) I have been struggling to determine why wifi does not work on M5StickC-Plus devices. In each case WiFi.status() returns WL_NO_SHIELD. I tested the code on two different devices and I have noted others reporting the same issue.

The code in questions works fine on a M5StickC device so it would appear to be something specific to the Plus devices.

If you have any ideas on how to isolate this issue we would be appreciative.

Hello @helo-head

could you share your code (or at least the WiFi relevant part)?

Anyhow, below is how I can successfully connect my M5StickC Plus to WiFi:

#include "M5StickCPlus.h"
#include <WiFi.h>

const char* ssid       = "ssid";
const char* password   = "password";

void setup() {
  M5.begin(true, true, true);

  Serial.printf("Connecting to %s ", ssid);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      delay(500);
      Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println(" CONNECTED");
}

void loop() {
}

Thanks
Felix
