mySQM+ DIY SQM WEATHER STATION / Discussion / General Discussion: Wemos D1 R32 station mode can't connect

Jaime - 2023-05-21

Hello,

I have a Wemos D1 R32 board and wanted to test if it works before buying sensors. I installed the mySQM+ firmware and uploaded the data with the sketch uploader. When the controller works in "access point" mode I can connect by wifi but in "station" mode I can't. I get an error message titled "myESP32DB" saying: "Socket Connection Exception - Failed to connect". Could you help me? Could it be because I don't have any sensor connected?

Hi Jamie

I dont think a missing sensor would cause that.

You said
myESP32DB

but this site here is for mySQM+ controllers. So I am having a little trouble understanding what is going on. A little more info could be beneficial.

Is it an SQM+ controller?
What firmware and version was uploaded to the board?
What were the focuser config settings? what has been enabled?
Are you sure that the controller board is connecting to your local network?
How are you trying to connect? web browser? windows app? ascom oc driver?
To what are you connecting to? web server, tcpip server, management server etc

Regards
Robert

  Hello, Robert,
  
  I want to make a weather station to connect with NINA through ASCOM.
  
  I have some experience in other projects with Arduino: focuser, OnStep,
  telescope cover) but I can't get mySQM+ to work.
  
  I will try to answer your questions to see if you can help me. Thanks in
  advance!
  
  1.Hardware: Wemos D1 R32
  1. Firmware: I have downloaded from
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqmproesp32/files/FIRMWARE/
  the file "mysqmplus firmware-135-02.zip". (Is this server correct?)
  
  From that file I have unzipped the one called "mysqmplus_135_02". Then I
  have configured the "STATION" mode and created the wificonfig.json file in
  the data folder. Then I installed the libraries and set board to ESP32 Dev
  module and uploaded with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 the file "mysqmplus_135_02" and
  finally I uploaded the last process with "Tools > ESP32 sketch data
  upload". So far there is no error messages.
  
  What were the focuser config settings? what has been enabled? -> I do not
  understand this. Could you explain it to me better please?
  How are you trying to connect? web browser? windows app? ascom oc driver? -> I
  have tried all but none work. I can only connect if I set the access point
  mode.
  Are you sure that the controller board is connecting to your local network?
  -> Yes, I confirm that from my router.
  To what are you connecting to? web server, tcpip server, management server
  etc -> I try to connect to webserver and tcpip. I think they are well
  activated in the firmware.
  
  From controller_config.h:
  
  // ACCESSPOINT ENABLE/DISABLE
  // If configuring as ACCESSPOINT enable this option
  // Edit defines/softap_defines for ACCESSPOINT TCP/IP values, WiFi
  SSID-PASSWORD values
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------
  // remove comment to enable as ACCESSPOINT
  //#define CONTROLLERMODE ACCESSPOINT
  
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------
  // STATION ENABLE/DISABLE
  // If configuring as STATION enable this option
  // Edit defines/station_defines.h for other settings, TCP/IP values, and
  // WiFi login SSID-PASSWORD values
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------
  // remove comment to enable as STATION
  
  define CONTROLLERMODE STATION
  
  // Select ONE, either DYNAMICIP (default) or STATICIP (1 of them must be
  enabled)
  
  // IP address specified by network device and can change
  
  define IPADDRESSMODE DYNAMICIP
  
  // IP address specified by controller - must be defined correctly
  //#define IPADDRESSMODE STATICIP
  
  // to enable reading SSID and PASSWORD from file wificonfig.json
  // at boot time, uncomment next line
  
  define READWIFICONFIG 1
  
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------
  // SERVERS ENABLE/DISABLE
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------
  // to enable the Management Server interface [Port 6060], uncomment next
  line
  
  define MANAGEMENTSERVER 2
  
  // The TCP/IP Server handles requests from the Windows and Linux
  applications
  // to enable the TCP/IP server [Port 2121], uncomment next line
  
  define TCPIPSERVER 3
  
  // to enable the Web Server interface [Port 80], uncomment next line
  
  define WEBSERVER 4
  
  // Debug Server interface [Port 9090] cannot be disabled
  //#define DEBUGSERVER 5
  
  Thanks in advance Robert!

Hi again

In controller_defines.h enable
DEBUG_PRINT
BOOT_PRINT
ERROR_PRINT
then save it

in controller_config.h make sure these are enabled
MANAGEMENTSERVER
TCPIPSERVER
WEBSERVER
DEBUGSERVER

Connect controller using usb cable
Load Arduino IDE with project file - xxx.ino
Open Serial Port Monitor in Arduino IDE, set speed to 9600
Close Serial Port Monitor
Program controller with the firmware
Upload the sketch data files
Wait 10s
Open the Serial Port Monitor
Press the reboot button On the ESP32 chip/board
You will see all the boot, load. start messages
See if the controller connects to your Wifi network
If it does it will list an IP address for the controller
If all goes well and it is running
Open web browser, goto IP address as shown in the Serial Port Monitor window when the controller rebooted
if the address was 192.168.2.22 then add the correct port which is 6060 so the URL you use in the web browser is
192.168.2.22:6060
which should pop up a login window. Name and Password found in file defines/management_defines.h
which is
admin
admin

If you get that far, then you can see that on admin page 1 SERVERS that the Web server is Not enabled and NOT Runnning,
If you intend to use the web server on port 80, then you need to
enable it, then
start it
After that you get to the user web page by
192.168.2.22

regards
Robert

  Hi Robert,
  
  I have tried the changes. I think it is reducing where the problem is. But
  it still doesn't work. I think everything is fine until I try to connect to
  the server.
  
  I send you the Serial monitor contect after reboot and an image of data
  folder.

    trying the Web server on port 80 will not work, because it is disabled. only the Management server can enable it
    
    so the url of 192.168.1.149:6060 would be the address of the management server.
    
    Curiousity: Have u tried a different web broswer like Edge?
    
    The start messages show that the controller restarted, logged on and started what it was meant to start. The issue seems to point to a network issue. Ping is pretty much useless here.
    
    You could try the Advanced IP Scanner and Advanced Port Scanner programs, the port scanner should be able to detect what ports are available on 192.168.1.149
    A search on google will reveal the location for download. These are free
    
    You could try ACCESSPOINT MODE. Then connect to that AP on the ESP32, and try the management server again. If that works, then it would seem to point to a network issue.

      Hello, Robert,
      
      Thanks to your comments I was testing different configurations of my local
      network. It is fixed! everything works!
      
      Thank you so much for your help
