Hello Everyone,
Still working on non-blocking Edgent code on my chicken coop project, but also working away at another project and running into an unexpected error.
I am getting error 701 when attempting to provision an ESP32 with the sketch shown below.
I can go through the provisioning process, insert my wifi info but the device never joins the network and gives me the following error message:
[37623] WAIT_CONFIG => CONFIGURING

Your device can’t connect to your WiFi with the credentials that are being supplied, or your router is rejecting the connection for some other reason.
Is your router offering a 2.4GHz connection on this SSID?
Are your SSID and password correct (note that both are case sensitive).
Have you tried rebooting your router?
You’re calling the scaleOperation function every time your void loop executes. You are then doing some other very cumbersome stuff, calling other functions, setting flags and clearing them with a anon-blocking timer.
I’d suggest that a you use a BlynkTimer to call a function which simply does everything needed in one location. Your code will then execute better, and be easier to follow and debug.
I’ll switch that over to a BlynkTimer function. I’ve had other projects work fine utilizing that method as long as I don’t use any blocking code and everything operates quickly but I’ll switch it over and see if that helps.
I have tried to connect to multiple 2.4GHZ networks and no luck on any of them with the same error so it isn’t an issue regarding that, the SSID (which I don’t get to input during provisioning, I simply select a network during that process) or the password as I have confirmed correct passwords for all networks tried so far.
I’ll re-do the code utilizing BlynkTimers only and see if that helps.
Is your router configured to use a very small pool of IP addresses in its DHCP settings?
Is it possible that you’ve simply run-out of available IP addresses to be allocated?
I don’t believe that to be the issue. I’ve tried it on 4 different networks at this point with the exact same error. I’ve rebooted all routers as well on all 4 networks.
On the off chance all those networks have run out of available IP’s… how would I even check that?
You’d need to check the DHCP pool range in the router config, then run an IP address scan tool to check which addresses are used. This would tell you if all the available addresses are used.
Seems more likely that your board’s WiFi circuitry is dead, or you have a power supply issue.
Have you tested with a simple (non Edgent) sketch?
Hmmm, I’ll try another board.
I’ve tried mutiple power supplies as well with no difference.
I would have thought a board with a bad wifi circuit wouldn’t generate a “setup” network that my phone connects to when trying to provision the board but stranger things have happened I suppose.
I have a spare board at home I can try. I’ll update you this evening on my findings.
Actually, I’ll try a non-edgent sketch and see if it connects with that as you suggested, that way we will know if it is a circuit issue with the board for sure.
Okay, you don’t have a board type un-commented, and you’re using GPIO0 for something.
Presumably the custom board configuration section of Settings.h looks like this…
#else
#warning "Custom board configuration is used"
#define BOARD_BUTTON_PIN 0 // Pin where user button is attached
#define BOARD_BUTTON_ACTIVE_LOW true // true if button is "active-low"
//#define BOARD_LED_PIN 4 // Set LED pin - if you have a single-color LED attached
//#define BOARD_LED_PIN_R 15 // Set R,G,B pins - if your LED is PWM RGB
//#define BOARD_LED_PIN_G 12
//#define BOARD_LED_PIN_B 13
//#define BOARD_LED_PIN_WS2812 4 // Set if your LED is WS2812 RGB
#define BOARD_LED_INVERSE false // true if LED is common anode, false if common cathode
#define BOARD_LED_BRIGHTNESS 64 // 0..255 brightness control
#endif
So GPIO0 is being used by Edgent as your credentials reset pin. You should read this…
I’m using a custom board that I have working perfectly with 2 other edgent based sketches.
That variable is actually for the pin state, not the pin itself. the pin for the switch can be seen on following line as:
const int realSwitchPin = 27;
I use GPIO 0 for my credential reset pin which has always worked flawlessly in the past and is the default credential reset pin used by the custom board setting.
Just want to make a quick update, or more a lack of update.
I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the Blynk app on my phone. I’ve tried multiple boards and I can’t get any “new” sketches to connect to wifi through Edgent, same error as above.
What I find strange is that any of my currently functioning projects will update no issue OTA, or even over USB if I accidentally brick them so I can’t access over wifi anymore. They will accept the new firmware and boot back up on wifi no problem.
Any thoughts, is this worth submitting an issue on github at this point?
I can’t find that option in the IDE however I do have esptool.py installed and I just used it to wipe one of my boards (successfully according to the esptool.py output).
I then tried to upload a blank Edgent example with only the needed template id and device token.
Same result. Accepts the credentials during provisioning and then hangs before re-booting itself and spitting out this on the serial monitor (wifi credentials removed for security):
One more thing I tried to isolate the issue from the board or network:
I flashed Tasmota firmware to the device and successfully connected to a wifi network.
The same device will not connect to the same network using Blynk.Edgent provisioning.
