wifi rssi

[KJM]

if I do a

Code: Select all

for net in sta.scan(): print (net, sta.status('rssi'))

I get

Code: Select all

(b'', b'\xfa\x8f\xcai\xa9,', 7, -86, 0, 1) 5 -82

If the -82 is the rssi then what does the -86 represent?

I use:

Code: Select all

    rssi = sta_if.status('rssi')
    print (rssi)

Don't know what the other keywords are.

According to https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... .WLAN.html the return from the .scan is (ssid, bssid, channel, RSSI, authmode, hidden), so -86 on channel 7 in my case. My question is why that does not agree with the -82 from .status('rssi')? Is it -82 for channel 5? If so why is the ESP8266 talking to the router on 2 different channels?

This will need an expert. Meanwhile, maybe STA and AP are both active, try making sta.active(False) or ap.active(False). I have read that there is a STA_AP mode which seems to be used in a ESPNow/WiFi implementation at randomnerdtutorials.com
