WLAN.ifconfig(

[RobinMosedale]

It seems that setting the IP address of a Sta isn't available for the esp32 variant:
both variants of the syntax on the Micropython reference documentation (quick reference guide etc) raise errors

wlan.ifconfig(('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1,254','192.168,1,254'))
wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1,254','192.168,1,254'))


'ValueError: invalid arguments'
Am I correct that this is not available for Esp32, yet documentation implies that it does.

Try:

Code: Select all

sta_if.ifconfig(('192.168.10.99', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.10.1', '192.168.10.1'))

Double brackets

Thank you Dave

[RobinMosedale]

Isn't that identical to what I'm doing with merely a different instansiation of the wlan object name?

[davef]

Sorry, I don't know the reason ... I saw it somewhere when I had the same problem and it fixed it. I recall it has something to do with tuples.

[RobinMosedale]

Very odd. Looks identical

In your example, you have commas instead of dots inside the last two addresses.

Code: Select all

wlan.ifconfig(('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1,254','192.168,1,254'))
                                                         ^             ^ ^

Forgive me Jimmo. I thought that I'd corrected those:-

However the alternative syntax doesn't work, but doesn't matter.

Code: Select all

import network

wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
print(wlan.active(True))
wlan.config(dhcp_hostname='esp32cam')
wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1,254','192.168,1,254'))
wlan.connect("TP-LINK_EB850C","ju87bstuka")
print("Connected ",wlan.isconnected())
print(wlan.ifconfig())

Result:-

TypeError: function doesn't take keyword arguments

ifconfig doesn't take keyword argument.

You have

Code: Select all

wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1,254','192.168,1,254'))

but it should be just

Code: Select all

wlan.ifconfig(('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1.254','192.168.1.254'))

What's going on here is that ipconfig takes a single (optional) argument. That argument is a tuple of ip/mask/gateway/dns.
It's clearer if you write it as

Code: Select all

ip_config = ('192.168.1.144','255.255.255.0','192.168.1.254','192.168.1.254')
wlan.ifconfig(ip_config)

Note your code snippet also still has the commas in it.
