Can't configure wifi

jim · October 2, 2019, 4:41pm

I’m trying to configure wifi for a simple app I wrote… From the mos tool (on a mac) I issue:

mos config-set wifi.sta.enable=true wifi.ap.enable=false wifi.sta.ssid='mylan' wifi.sta.pass=mypass

And the error I get is:

Getting configuration...
Error: /private/tmp/mos-20191002-29497-yt53zd/mos-b14a864da77d6f3b0b1ad591876b41cf06e70bab/src/cesanta.com/go/src/github.com/mongoose-os/mos/mos/dev/dev_conf.go:81: no config value at path "wifi.sta.enable"

exit status 1

I expect this is a simple issue but the error message has not been helpful, and I have not had luck searching and experimenting.

Basically the issue is:

no config value at path "wifi.sta.enable"

It’s the same if I issue:

mos wifi 'mylan' mypass

It looks like - origin: https://github.com/mongoose-os-libs/wifi is not in your mos.yml libs section.

It is actually…

Somehow wifi is not included in the firmware. Or did not build and flash after including the library.
You didn’t mention what is your platform.

Without wifi (esp8266):

Thank you for the detailed reply. I’m using an ESP32. I got it working although I admit I don’t know how. I tried changing the order of the libraries thinking that perhaps there were dependencies, but that didn’t help. Eventually I restarted mos and then it started to work. Now I’m trying to make it talk to dash.
