Arduino Http component not working with ESP IDF launched WiFi

Postby anslex » Sun Sep 08, 2019 9:46 pm

Hello Everybody,

I am testing your technology and I am trying to use esp-idf with a few arduino components.

I would like to hear your advice why arduino component has no wifi connection whereas the WiFi was launched by esp-idf task in this basic exemple?

I tried to pin tasks to the same core as wifi, but without any success

esp-arduino version: 1.0.3-rc3
esp-idf version: v3.2

Here is the code or raw text below:

#include "station.h"

#include "WiFi.h"
#include <HTTPClient.h>

extern "C" void wifi_init_sta();

static void activate_wifi()
{
  //Initialize NVS
  esp_err_t ret = nvs_flash_init();
  if (ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NO_FREE_PAGES || ret == ESP_ERR_NVS_NEW_VERSION_FOUND) {
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(nvs_flash_erase());
    ret = nvs_flash_init();
  }
  ESP_ERROR_CHECK(ret);

  ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ESP_WIFI_MODE_STA");
  wifi_init_sta();
}

      // xEventGroupWaitBits(s_wifi_event_group, WIFI_CONNECTED_BIT,
      //                     false, true, portMAX_DELAY);
      //
      // ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Connected to AP");
      if(WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED){   //Check WiFi connection status

          HTTPClient http;

          http.begin("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");  //Specify destination for HTTP request
          http.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");             //Specify content-type header

          if(httpResponseCode>0){

           String response = http.getString();                       //Get the response to the request

           Serial.println(httpResponseCode);   //Print return code
           Serial.println(response);           //Print request answer

        }else{

        }
    }

Because you've implemented your own event handler instead. You should be using WIFI_CONNECTED_BIT of s_wifi_event_group to check WiFi connection state.

Thank you for your response. You are right. I noticed that it is better to stop using Arduino components, so I am rewriting some libraries in esp-idf style
