ESP32 Forum

Hi,
I'm new on this ESP32 Forum/ESP-MDF
I am developping a mesh_lite application and would like to know if this is the right place to post questions about mesh_lite or if there is a dedicated sub_forum?

Thanks a lot,

Hi there!

I am using mesh_lite on Espressif DevkitC board.
My app is using a root node and several child nodes. The root node connects to the AP interface of a RaspberryPi board.
All works well until I press the reset button of the board and then at reboot the STA of of the root node fails to connect to the AP of the RaspberryPi. The esp32c6 message on the root node is like:

[ESP_Mesh_Lite_Comm]: Disconnect reason : 2

( after that, if I manually toggle the AP of the RPI the esp32c6 reconnects...)

Since this appears to be a message from the non public mesh_lite code, could someone give some light on how to interpret this "reason: 2" message ?

Thanks a lot

ESP-MDF and ESP-Mesh-Lite are different products, so technically this is not the best place. But also there is no mesh-lite specific forum and both ar WiFi Mesh solutions, so it is not surprising why people would ask here.

Would probably be best if Espressif made separate forum for Mesh-lite before this one becomes complete mess.

digging further, it appears that my problem is VERY similar to an old and now fixed issue about "Android hotspot requires restarting for ESP32 to reconnect or fails: auth -> init (200)" (see viewtopic.php?t=8769&start=40)
The only difference is my using of a Rapsberry Pi Access Point (Bookworm).
The STA failure to reconnect (now fixed) to an Android hotspot remains when using a Raspian OS hotspot

Am I missing something about this issue?
Thanks

I used this as a Wifi Hot Spot.

When we stop powering the esp-iot-bridge hotspot, the Mesh-lite root node will disconnect from the AP.

When we resume powering the esp-iot-bridge hotspot, the Mesh-lite root node will reconnect to the AP.

You may notice the difference between the Raspberry OS hotspot and the esp-iot-bridge hotspot.
