Hi everyone, i have a problem with a esp32 where i am using 3 libraries, bluetooth, wifi and httpclient.
I am getting a BLE Sensor data, scanning the bluetooth and connecting with a service from this sensor, at the same time i'm connecting to my wi-fi house .
This works pretty good, i don't have problem with this, i adjust the code because i want esp32 always scan bluetooth when it lose the ble sensor signal, and always connect when find it again, same thing with wi-fi, and it works.
The problem comes when i use HTTPClient library, this is the thing, i created a function that do all the process for a POST request, and use it when i'm connected to my wifi, it's not neccesary be connected to the ble sensor, but when it's not connected, the scan start and pauses the rest of the loop you know .
So when i run the program, this happen:
-
The BLE Sensor is on, so at start of the program esp 32 will scan for a little, and will connect to the BLE service.
-
My wifi is available too, so it'll start connecting this, but at start of the loop it'll not be connected because there's no time, first scan BLE, connect to this, and the second iteration, it'll be connected to wi-fi.
-
Because esp32 is connected to wi-fi, in the second iteration, will start doing http POST **
** Request, and IT WORKS, i got this:
20262
3
HTTP Response code: 201
{
"id": 101
} -
So the problem is, when i turn off my ble sensor, simulating that the ble signal lost, first the esp32 program start scanning again bluetooth near signal.
-
After this i turn on my BLE Sensor, and the esp32 find the signal and start connecting again.
-
The program connect, the wifi keeps working and remains connected to my house.
-
but after linking to my ble sensor, the POST HTML Request works 1 or 3 times and after that always fails, getting this:
341051
3
Error code: -1
...
This is my problem, after linking to my sensor by second time, all my POST http request is being rejected or is not being sent :/.
The curious thing is, if we suppose that after linking to the sensor for the first time, and linking for a second time(failing POST request), i turn off the sensor and deactivate the ble scan for esp32, the POST request works again, so the problem is when i linking with the ble sensor for a second time, because at the first time, it works.
Sorry by this long text but this is a complex problem for me, i'll be thankfully for any help :s, this is my code:

, it's horrible but for the moment is what I can do.
