My temp probe I built is not connecting - I can install bin file but wifi will not connect… I am wondering if the shop has sold me a kit with missing CORE block… as it says 2305 needs a separate CORE BLOCK - could you please guide me? We are stuck with it not being able ot connect due to Err 113 No Route to Host or Port not ready…
What product do you wish to discuss? RAK5005, RAK2305
What firmware are you using? I tried factory BIN files from RAK guide?
What firmware version? Can it be obtained with AT+VER=? I tried nothing works
Computer OS? (MacOS, Linux, Windows) Windows ESP Home Web
What Computer OS version? Win11 Pro
How often does the problem happen? all the time
How can we replicate the problem? just happens 24/7
Provide source code if custom firmware is used or link to example if RAKwireless example code is used.
I apologies to drag you into this with more questions.
I am totally green with this and just need few steps explained on how to bring my WisBlock onto my wifi…
I have tried Arudino Ide, and managed to upload some bits like temp probe, I could see it in the logs…., and wifi settings via examples too … but I am not being successful with connection…
I even tried bootloader but that sort of did not help.
Is there a chance you could help? Please?
Im on discord as raf_t_aud or happy to chat in any way possible… so close – just cannot crack it…
It is very had to find right materials online.
My config is :
Base Board 5005
Core Block 4631
Wifi Block 2305
And Module Sensor 1901
All I want is to get it to connect with ESP Builder in HA.
I can handle HA, that is fine - once I am in that territory… I have simply not been able to get the RAK2305 to talk to my WIFI…
I have now Adruino IDE, and can compile some code examples ot the modules and it will e.g. read temp/humidity probe in ESP home… so obviously the modules work… but I cannot find correct procedure for WIFI… there is an example but to date I have failed…
It takes 3 lines of AT commands to the RAK2305 to connect:
// Set RAK2305 as AP and STA role
execute_at("AT+CWMODE=3\r\n", "OK");
// Set contry code
execute_at("AT+CWCOUNTRY=0,\"CN\",1,13\r\n", "OK");
// Connect AP with ssid and password
snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "AT+CWJAP=\"%s\",\"%s\"\r\n", WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);
execute_at(cmd, "OK");
Yes thats what I meant… the simplest of steps was the hardest… and Iwill definitely try this very shortly.
I am so new to this RAK block thing - that I do apologize for being such a nuisance… and thank you again. Very much so.
I have copied the example and I now can see in ESP home WEB logs that its pinging 8.8.8.8 and also…
It saying connected to wifi… but its ip address is on a totally different range - so if it truly was connected to my network wouldnt it be given dhcp address to match my wifi? Instead of 192.168.1.1 I get 192.168.4.4 or 192.168.4.5?
“3” sets the ESP32 in combined AP + Station mode, you most likely see the AP IP address.
“1” sets the ESP32 in Station mode only. If it can connect, it will show the IP address assigned by your AP.
If it doesn’t show IP address, it can’t connect to your WiFi AP. Then you need to check the AP name and the APN password.
Changed it to “1” this is the code I got…
it said : CONNECTED, GOT IP
but in ESP home when I try to connect… it says
improv WFIF Serial Not Detected
I think we r making progress… just not quite 100% yet
Hey I cannot seem to post images - it wont let me… but its pinging I have a screen shot… second time round it did not say GOT IP… it is also continuing with improv port not detected.
r u on discord? would be maybe easier to show u…? raf_t_aud
