Re-enable DHCP client

[masteronepg]

Hi everyone
First of all I just want to say hello - I'm newbie

I feel terrible - each time I had bigger or smaller problem with my ESP8266 I was able to overcome it somehow - usually googling and finding the right solution but now really I'm stucked. I don't know how to enable again dhcp client on STA_IF when previously I set IP address, mask etc. I use 1.9.2 self compiled micropython onboard.

Can anyone help me with any hint? I believe it's trivial.

I use this script to establish a connection (adapt for your SSID and password):

Code: Select all

def do_connect():
    import network
    sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
    ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF) # create access-point interface
    ap.active(False)         # deactivate the interface
    if not sta_if.isconnected():
        print('connecting to network...')
        sta_if.active(True)
        sta_if.connect('MY_SSID', 'MY_PASSWORD')
        while not sta_if.isconnected():
            pass
    print('network config:', sta_if.ifconfig())
    a = sta_if.config('mac')
    print('MAC {:02x}:{:02x}:{:02x}:{:02x}:{:02x}'.format(a[0],a[1],a[2],a[3],a[4]))

You can erase memory of all WiFi connections by issuing

Code: Select all

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

You'll then need to re-flash the firmware. Note that erasing flash will delete everything from the device's filesystem so make sure you have a backup.

Dear Peter,

Thank you - I flashed once again my esp and everything get back to normal with DHCP client

Best wishes,
Piotr
