Connect the Wipy to a wlan

[marcus]

Hi,

i try to connect my wipy to my wireless home network.
From the docs i copied and modified the following code to boot.py:

Code: Select all

from network import WLAN
wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
nets = wlan.scan()
for net in nets:
    if net.ssid == 'MYSSID':
        print('Network found!')
        wlan.connect(net.ssid, auth=(net.sec, 'MYPASSWORD'), timeout=5000)
        while not wlan.isconnected():
            machine.idle() # save power while waiting
        print('WLAN connection succeeded!')
        break

This doesn't work.
The wipy seems to be still in AP mode, i can the ssid in the networks list of my PC.
But i can't connect to the network anymore.

Can somebody please direct me to a working code example or does anybody see whats wrong here?

Thanks a lot!

Marcus

Hello,

If you only run:

Code: Select all

from network import WLAN
wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
nets = wlan.scan()
for net in nets:
    print(net)

Do you see the list of networks? What makes you think that it's still in AP mode? Are you connected to the WiPy via serial (USB)?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your response.
I connect via telnet and ftp to the wipy.

Code: Select all

For the test i tried to extend your code to write the available ssids to a file.
from network import WLAN
wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
nets = wlan.scan()
dat = open("/flash/wlan.info","w")
for net in nets:
  dat.write(net)
dat.close()

The file was created but it remains empty.
When i try to write i get an OSError: 28.

For AP mode: I saw the wipy in the available wlan list of my laptop which was wrong.
After a reboot the ssid didn't show up again.
