Heltec V3 Wifimanager not working

#1

I’m really frustrated that Heltec have discontinued the wireless stick light V2. None of my code works on the V3.

Has anyone managed to get Wifimanger (tzapu) working with the V3?

#2

My problem is with the V2 I could use Lora and WifiManager together with no problems

With the V3 I cant.

If I use Board library,

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

wifmanger will work but loraWan won’t work I get an error saying cant find LoRaWan_APP.h

if I use,
https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series/releases/download/0.0.7/package_heltec_esp32_index.json

LoRaWan_APP.h works but not wifimanger. I get an error

The only comment I can offer at this point is that there are a couple of messages in there that suggest that you’ve not selected the correct board, if you’re trying to compile for the WiFi LoRa 32 or Wireless Stick Lite V3 board:

WARNING: library WiFiManager-master claims to run on esp8266, esp32 architecture(s) and may be incompatible with your current board which runs on avr architecture(s).

suggests that the board you have selected is not an ESP8266 or ESP32, but is based on the AVR architecture.

Invalid library found in C:\Users\08435051\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ASR650x-Arduino-master: no headers files (.h) found in C:\Users\08435051\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ASR650x-Arduino-master

and

Invalid library found in C:\Users\08435051\Documents\Arduino\libraries\CubeCell-Arduino-master: no headers files (.h) found in C:\Users\08435051\Documents\Arduino\libraries\CubeCell-Arduino-master

seem to suggest that you’ve chosen one of the CubeCell boards rather than the WiFi LoRa 32 V3 / Wireless Stick Lite V3 board.

Hi Pete
I uploaded the wrong error. The correct error is up now

#5

I have just compiled and loaded my gateway sketch onto a Wireless Stick Lite V3. It receives LoRa messages from other LoRa Nodes in my network and sends out messages, via WiFi, to an MQTT broker on my LAN. No problems compiling, loading or running.

The sketch is not trivial, so it’s a bit much to try to post it here, but the header files that are used, without any conflict, are as follows:

#include <esp_int_wdt.h>        // ESP32 watchdog timers
#include <esp_task_wdt.h>

#include "Arduino.h"
#include "LoRaWan_APP.h"        // Heltec LoRa protocol
#include <WiFi.h>               // WiFi client
#include <PubSubClient.h>       // MQTT client
#include <PacketHandler.h>      // [Langlo] LoRa Packet management
#include <OneWire.h>            // Required for Dallas Temperature
#include <DallasTemperature.h>  // DS18B20 Library

#include <Ticker.h>             // Asynchronous task management

#include <LangloLoRa.h>         // [Langlo] LoRa configuration parameters
#include <LangloWiFi.h>         // [Langlo] WiFi configuration parameters
#include <PiMQTT.h>             // [bb-7 Pi] MQTT configuration parameters
#include <WSLV3Pins.h>          // Heltec Wireless Stick Lite V3 pin definitions
#include <nodeLV3G1config.h>    // Specific local Node configuration parameters

For starters, you should be able to create an empty sketch (empty setup and loop elements) containing the first 10 header files (the latter 5 are just configuration files that are only required when the sketch actually does something) and compile it without error (I have just done that using macOS 10.14.5, IDE 2.0.3 and “Additional boards manager URLs : https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series/releases/download/0.0.7/package_heltec_esp32_index.json” in the IDE Preferences > Settings). If that won’t compile, I think you need to look at your IDE installation.

Hi Pete
Thanks for your help. the main thing I would love to work is Wifimanager as clients use it as a captive portal to connect to their wifi.

OK, well this may not be the news you’d like to hear, but I just tried to compile that sketch in my environment and compilation fails just as you originally described. I’ve never used WiFi manager, so I can’t really offer much more help on that front.

For what it’s worth though, sifting through the relevant files, I can see the code that wants to check the chip temperature, but I can also see the temp_sensor.h file that the complier would seem to be complaining about not being able to find. But at that point I run out of talent…

If, however, I comment out the code inside the temperature_read() function, and just let it return “NAN”, as if the read failed, the code compiles, but I’ve no idea what impact this will have on the hardware or the execution of the sketch.

If you’re interested, on my installation, the relevant file is located at:

Library/Arduino15/packages/Heltec-esp32/hardware/esp32/0.0.7/cores/esp32/esp32-hal-misc.c

and I commented out the content (after line 70) as illustrated below:

float temperatureRead()
{
    float result = NAN;
    /*
    temp_sensor_config_t tsens = TSENS_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
    temp_sensor_set_config(tsens);
    temp_sensor_start();
    temp_sensor_read_celsius(&result); 
    temp_sensor_stop();
    */
    return result;
}

in order to get the sketch to compile.

thanks for your help with this Pete. It ended up compiling. Unfortunately the wifi didn’t work but i’m not fussed I have gone back to using the the esp32 espressif library and that works with wifimanager.

Dear. I have of same problem. I comment this line, then the compilated work good. But I can´t to see the access point´s SSID in any device (Windows or Android). Could you help me. Thanks very much.
