[Huzzah Feather] Can't get WiFi connection

[SergioDeNice]

Hi,

I've just tried to get MicroPython running on my board :

C:\Python27\Scripts>esptool.py --port COM43 erase_flash
esptool.py v1.0.1
Connecting...
Erasing flash (this may take a while)...

C:\Python27\Scripts>esptool.py --port COM43 --baud 115200 write_flash --flash_si
ze=8m 0 D:\Downloads\esp8266-2016-05-03-v1.8.bin
esptool.py v1.0.1
Connecting...
Erasing flash...
Took 2.25s to erase flash block
Wrote 494592 bytes at 0x00000000 in 48.0 seconds (82.4 kbit/s)...

Leaving...

And then I can't see any ESSID to connect to. Any thoughts?
TIA

Serge

You have to reset the board afterwards. Also, computers often cache the list of wifi networks, so it may take a while for the new SSID to appear. Have you tried to connect to the REPL on the serial connection?

The latest version does not start webrepl in boot py any more. You have to start it manuslly or change boot.py.

Just for people looking here, as it was said, to use the webrepl you have to activate it first:

Code: Select all

import webrepl
webrepl.start()

Either in repl-mode or add this to boot.py

Resetting the board did the trick. I would have thought unplugging and replugging it would do.
Thanks
