Can't connect Access point

[chryss44]

I have try to compile 1.13.3 and program it on Sonoff Basic with success (esptool).
I have just modified Hardware on Sonoff Basic to put another button.
When i reboot, everything is perfect on serial log except "[MDNS] Fail" and can't access AP with password :-(

I have try with 1.13.2 and CORE 2.4.2...same issue.
Serious problem on news librairies, no ?

The only stable release i have is 1.13.2.

[chryss44]

I have try this evening and with 2.3 Core everything is OK on 1.13.2, but no access point appear with 1.13.4 and 1.13.6.
To be continued

[mcspr]

Do you mean that you cannot connect to device's access point?
See #1574 , softAP does not work on Basic when running 1.13.4. I have no problems running 1.13.5 or current dev branch

[chryss44]

Access point not appear on wifi list (nothing) with Core 2.5 and ESPurna 1.13.5 and DEV 1.13.6.
Sometimes, they appears and connection's impossible (incorrect password).
If i have time this week, i can try with another Core, what test do you want i try ?

[bakman2]

@mcspr I have the same issues with 1.13.5 and a Sonoff Basic. The thing is not connecting after OTA update, can't easily test the actual problem, have to remove it from my fan first.

[chryss44]

For Sonoff Basic : I have compiled 1.13.2 with CORE 2.3 on 1.8.5 Arduino and everything is OK.
I'll try CORE 2.4 this week if i have time.

[mcspr]

Have you tried changing loop delay value?
One Basic not like the other... I have tried upgrading one of the old "ceiling" devices - it too gets stuck connecting to AP / softAP works 10% of the time. It is very hard to connect to, but it is possible to start a telnet session and do a set loopDelay 10 (make sure it says +OK) and reset it. Either typing reset right after or toggling mains

[bakman2]

@mcspr very strange behaviour. I setup a node-red flow to notify me when it is connected to my network, that happened only once an hour. telnet was disabled, quickly enabled it and set the loopdelay and downgraded to 1.13.3 which works fine. thanks!

[zukoy1]

Hi all,

Same bahviour with a sonoff basic, I cannot connect to the AP.

Release 1.13.6 downloaded today.

I have try with Arduino 1.8.8 and 1.8.5, library up to date and Core 2.3, 2.4, 2.4.2, 2.5 with 1.13.6 dev, 1.13.5, 1.13.3, 1.13.2 on Sonoff Basic.
The conclusion is
With all version 1.13.3, 1.13.5, 1.13.6 on all core -> same like zukoy1, i can see on serial monitor "Creating AP" but AP doesn't appear on all computer (MAC or PC) and it's impossible to connect on it.
I have try to custom general.h with my House Access Point and on serial monitor i have seen Scanning but just with my printer and nothing else :-(

The only version full OK is 1.13.2 with Core 1.3 and Arduino 1.8.5 with all library up to date.

If somebody have old version 1.13.2/Arduino 1.8.5 (compile OK) with old library, is it possible to zip it and give a link ?
Just a precision, only on Core 2.3, the serial monitor work with 115200, for all other is 78800....Strange....

The last serial monitor copy with version 1.13.6.dev, Core 2.3, last library, and Arduino 1.8.5

I just have duplicate ITEAD BASIC to ITEAD BASIC 2 for my second button.
The hardware.h is:

#elif defined(ITEAD_SONOFF_BASIC_2)

    // Info
    #define MANUFACTURER        "ITEAD"
    #define DEVICE              "SONOFF_BASIC_2"

    // Buttons
    #define BUTTON1_PIN         0
    #define BUTTON1_MODE        BUTTON_PUSHBUTTON | BUTTON_DEFAULT_HIGH
    #define BUTTON1_RELAY       1
    #define BUTTON2_PIN         14
    #define BUTTON2_MODE        BUTTON_PUSHBUTTON | BUTTON_DEFAULT_HIGH
    #define BUTTON2_RELAY       2

    // Relays
    #define RELAY1_PIN          12
    #define RELAY1_TYPE         RELAY_TYPE_NORMAL
    #define RELAY2_PIN          9
    #define RELAY2_TYPE         RELAY_TYPE_NORMAL

    // LEDs
    #define LED1_PIN            13
    #define LED1_PIN_INVERSE    1

@chryss44 Have you tried simply changing loop delay value?

[000642] [MAIN] Power saving delay value: 1 ms

either set loopDelay 10 in the console and reset / power cycle
or add #define LOOP_DELAY_TIME 10 to hardware defines, so it is the default
edit: words

afaik that is the only difference major difference between versions. given some discussions from the esp8266/Arduino repo, I think what needs to be changed is place loop delay between each loop callback instead of a single one in the systemLoop, so that the device is switching context more frequently.
my test unit is RF model circa 2017, which is Basic under disguise. setting loop delay with current dev makes AP visible and connectable. idk about the new models with esp8285, but will check with some M3 boards

btw, from previous logs:

[MAIN] Power: 4466 mV
[MAIN] Power: 4094 mV

are you using 5v by any chance? sonoff power input is 3v3

Hello Max,
Thanks
I'll try when have time
yes, 5v, probably my programmer but since i use it, no problem, Sonoff Basic are resistant :-)
I''l change it too on the next try.
what do you recommend, Arduino (1.8.5 or last) and for core ?
