the original post was about using the WEMOS D1 R32, which I returned to after trying 3 of the S3 DevKits, one S2-SOLO, and two FEATHER boards. Once I used 2.4 ghz, the feather code worked, it gave me the IP address of the chip. Yea! Really excited now, one step away from seeing my GPIO pins! I inserted that IP into a Firefox browser, Chrome, and Safari (iPhone 16 Pro & iPad) to see a pictorial image of the board with the GPIO pins showing. Unfortunately none of the boards were able to receive the code. That's when I returned to the WEMOS, and now I think that OP was valid.
However, I have been trying all those boards and now I get messages like this:
20:11:18.844 ->
20:11:18.844 -> Connecting to ATTKWMkttA-2.4ghz
20:11:19.329 -> E (1371) wifi:Association refused too many times, max allowed 1
20:11:19.409 -> .E (1849) wifi:Association refused too many times, max allowed 1
20:11:19.929 ->
and I have no idea what that's about. I've tried swapping USB ports but always this result now.
Since it is on a completely different subject matter than the "no port in Arduino IDE" problem discussed in your other topic, I split this post out to a new topic dedicated to the runtime networking problem you are now encountering. This will ensure the forum helpers who are knowledgeable in this subject matter will see your post.
This doesn't have anything to do with the USB ports. This message is about Wi-Fi.
Unfortunately I don't know what could cause this error, so I don't think I will be able to be of assistance with this. Hopefully the forum helpers who are more knowledgeable in the subject of ESP32 and networking will be able to assist you.
I think that it would likely be helpful for you to provide the Arduino sketch that is running on your board. I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:
Open the sketch in Arduino IDE.
Select Tools > Auto Format from the Arduino IDE menus. ⓘ This is done to make the code easier for us to read.
Select Edit > Copy for Forum (Markdown) from the Arduino IDE menus.
Open a reply here on this forum topic by clicking the "Reply" button.
Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the sketch to the post composer.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
Repeat the above process if your sketch has multiple tabs.
Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.
If you found the code on the Internet, please post a link to where you obtained it from. That might provide some context that will be useful to the forum helpers.
When your code requires a library that's not included with the Arduino IDE please post a link to where you downloaded that library from, or if you installed it using Library Manager then say so and state the full name of the library.
Thanks, but what category did you split it out to? I want to close out both and start over. I'm not sure how.
My new post will be about:
20:11:18.844 ->
20:11:18.844 -> Connecting to ATTKWMkttA-2.4ghz
20:11:19.329 -> E (1371) wifi:Association refused too many times, max allowed 1
20:11:19.409 -> .E (1849) wifi:Association refused too many times, max allowed 1
20:11:19.929 ->
I started thinking 'maybe the ports can't be seen because they're "full" ; so I restarted the computer and now no longer get that error message. Thanks everyone!
