Problems getting it to work

[renssies]

I can't seem to get the firmware working on a Sonoff THV1.1 (Sonoff Basic).

The firmware compiles just fine with 40Mhz SPI speed, but the Sonoff never connects to the network. I edited user_main.c and turning on the LED just before it connects to the network and turn it off when the network has actually been connected.

However, the LED never turns on, not when powered from the mains connection and not when powered from the FTDI.

Flashing the simple blink program to it works fine. Adding the Arduino ESP Wifi library to that works as well. It successfully connects to the network.

If it has worked, what am I doing wrong? Could it be because the ESP seems to be an 8285 instead of an 8266 like the library was build for?

[andreacucci]

The first boot needs about 25 seconds to initialize the SRP keys. Do you confirm you waited at least that amount of time? If you did it and it's still not working, could you provide the serial output?

However are you sure your Sonoff is this one? It seems strange that you got an ESP8285 on yours.

[renssies]

I left it for like 5 minutes, but it never joined the network so it never started broadcasting its MDNS name. I haven't checked the serial output yet because I thought there wasn't any.

It is the correct Sonoff, the chip has 8266 written on it. However, if I look around, some people are saying the Sonoff uses an ESP8285, however, I can't find which sonoff they are talking about. The Touch and 4CH sonoff seem to be confirmed to use the EPS8285

Edit: I've found that it has serial output, but I can't seem to get the serial output. Or I'm having the wrong baud rate

[andreacucci]

Sorry for the late reply, i did not notice you edited your comment. Default baudrate is 74880, did you try that?

[renssies]

I'm not completely sure I tried a baud rate of74880, I might have accidentally used 748800. Do you know if the serial communication also works when the sonoff board is powered of the 3,3v TTL connection?

[andreacucci]

Yes it does, you might have some problems with the relay not getting the right voltage to switch but the ESP will work fine.

[renssies]

I've tried flashing the firmware again, but I can't get any serial output using PlatformIO, Arduino IDE or Screen (on Mac)

[faronov]

I have absolutely the same problem I set wifi configuration with ssid an password but it can't connect to network I can access to console but din't see anything wrong

this is last log (after key initialise )

not connecting to network here too

[andreacucci]

Did you uncomment the function wifi_station_connect? As stated in the documentation:

If wifi_station_set_config is called in user_init, there is no need to call wifi_station_connect after that, ESP8266 will connect to router automatically; otherwise, wifi_station_connect is needed to connect.

[ageorgios]

void user_init(void)
{
        //use this block only once to set your favorite access point or put your own selection routine
    wifi_set_opmode(STATION_MODE);
    struct station_config *sconfig = (struct station_config *)zalloc(sizeof(struct station_config));
    sprintf(sconfig->ssid, "myssid");       //don't forget to set this if you use it
    sprintf(sconfig->password, "mypassword"); //don't forget to set this if you use it
    wifi_station_set_config(sconfig);
    free(sconfig);
    /*wifi_station_connect(); /**/

    // try to only do the bare minimum here and do the rest in hkc_user_init
    // if not you could easily run out of stack space during pairing-setup

    hkc_init("Sonoff");
}

is this correct?

it doesnt connect

[andreacucci]

Yes, that should work correctly.

[faronov]

Nope, is not connected Also when I try to erase_flash, and write_flash again It continuously reboots. The same when I try to compile and upload Demo One thing it can be wrong, when I compile toolchain, I didn't take specific revision. Where you get toolchain? And what platform you compile HK.
