Enable Web UI to setup Wifi

General
1

  1. My goal is:
    Allow user to change wifi ssid and password using WebUI when the GPIO0 is pushed

  2. My actions are:
    Add - origin: https://github.com/mongoose-os-libs/wifi-setup-web-ui in the mos.yml lib section

  3. The result I see is:
    The WebUI works as expected, and then the AP is disabled

  4. My expectation & question is:
    After push the GPIO 0 (zero, or any other), the AP is up again and the user can change the wifi SSID and password

Have a look at the provision library.

I use the following to turn AP on and off.
Took me a while to work out that the device config ap state does not change when you turn AP on/off, so I’m doing it explicitly. Probably means that this is not the right way to do it :slight_smile:

static void enable_ap(void)
{
  struct mgos_config_wifi_ap ap_cfg;
  memcpy(&ap_cfg, mgos_sys_config_get_wifi_ap(), sizeof(ap_cfg));
  ap_cfg.enable = true;
  int result = mgos_wifi_setup_ap(&ap_cfg);

  // Seems to be the easiest way to track AP enabled/disabled but it's not
  // updated when the AP is turned on like your would expect
  mgos_sys_config_set_wifi_ap_enable(true);

  LOG(LL_INFO, ("Enabling AP"));
}

static void disable_ap(void)
{
  struct mgos_config_wifi_ap ap_cfg;
  memcpy(&ap_cfg, mgos_sys_config_get_wifi_ap(), sizeof(ap_cfg));
  ap_cfg.enable = false;
  int result = mgos_wifi_setup_ap(&ap_cfg);

  // Seems to be the easiest way to track AP enabled/disabled but it's not
  // updated when the AP is turned on like your would expect
  mgos_sys_config_set_wifi_ap_enable(false);

  LOG(LL_INFO, ("Disabling AP"));
}

Thanks for this suggestion. I will investigate it.

This is also a good suggestion. I will consider.

mos latest seems to have broken something here, but mos 2.19.1 is working for me

I’d suggest to open an issue against the wifi library.
The line *((int *) 123) = 456; was introduced by this commit.
