Failed to enter wifi config mode. Facet restarts

[amlago]

Facet v 3.3 04/14
Hello.

In the update v3.3 04/14 I have not been able to enter the Wifi configuration.
I put the wifi config option and the sign connecting to the wifi network appears.
After a few seconds it does not connect and the Facet restarts.
I tried placing the wifi config in AP mode using the bluetooth serial configuration and it doesn't work either. It reboots.

I put the factory values and I was able to enter the wifi config.
But after a few tries the same thing happened to me. It says connecting to wifi and reboots.
I went back to version 3.2 and everything works fine.

Thanks for reporting this!

I've been seeing similar problems. Are you attached to a computer when the device reboots or over WiFi? Can you copy/paste the output of the serial terminal around when the device resets?

I believe the issue is caused by SD write tasks during the WiFi connection attempt. We've added additional watch dog servicing to avoid a watch dog reset (WDT) here in v3.3 4/17. This has cleared up the issue for me. Please give it a try.

Hello.
I tried version 3.3 of 4/17 and I still have problems with the wifi config.
It says connecting and reboots.
Tried without sd card and the same thing keeps happening.
Sometimes the connection has been achieved and when trying to enter the wifi config page it restarts.
I go back to version 3.2 and everything works fine.

FYI I have this problem with 3.3 March ?? version. I'm going back to v3.2. Had to abort a job in the middle of the day and go back to the office to downgrade the firmware. Every time I tried to put it in WiFi Config from the front panel, it rebooted and went back to rover mode.

UPDATE -- I have the same problem with 3.2 release. It won't go into WiFi config mode.

Oh crap. Resetting factory config formatted the SD card and I lost a days worth of static data. The firmware should really warn you that you're going to lose all the files on the SD card. I just forget this function formatted the SD card.

Oh huh....it said it reformatted the SD card but it didn't. Or maybe it just formatted the little internal file system?? scary message.

[amlago]

I already reported this problem with the restart when entering the wifi config in previous versions and the fastest solution was to restore default values.

With version 3.2 I have worked without problems.

The restart problem with the wifi config when it appears I had it immediately when updating.

[nseidle]

We are trying to replicate this problem today, but I cannot (yet).

To try to replicate this problem I did the following:

• Removed the SD card
• I loaded v3.3 April 17
• Did a factory reset on the RTK Express
• Entered Config mode from the front setup button

The device correctly started WiFi AP mode and I was able to connect from my phone.

Is there something else I am missing?

[nseidle]

I do not see this problem on any of my units using today's release candidate (April 24). I also do not see this problem in v3.2 firmware so that is a big concerning.

If possible, can you capture the serial output during a reset? It looks something like below. You can post it or email it to me if that's easier.

I will keep trying to replicate the problem.

With version 3.3 of 04/24 everything seems to work very well.
I've been in and out of wifi config with no problem.

This should be fixed in v3.3 of the RTK firmware. Please let us know if you still see problems.
