For Esp8266 (nodemcu) examples don't connect to network (and don't compile)

[skichrome]

I am testing the library on an ESP8266 based board and samples don't work without codes modifications.

First, I must replace this code bloc with just #include <ESP8266WiFi.h> because otherwise I have a compile error on line where the WiFiClient client is declared.

#include <ArduinoMqttClient.h>
#if defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRWIFI1010) || defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_NANO_33_IOT) || defined(ARDUINO_AVR_UNO_WIFI_REV2)
  #include <WiFiNINA.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKR1000)
  #include <WiFi101.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_ESP8266_ESP12)
  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#endif

Second, the code is locked in setup, in while loop that check the wifi status and forbid sketch start without wifi connexion.

To get the example working I replaced this :

  while (WiFi.begin(ssid, pass) != WL_CONNECTED) {
    // failed, retry
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(5000);
  }

with this:

  WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWD);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    // failed, retry
    delay(5000);
  }

Infos:

• Arduino 1.8.13
• ArduinoMqttClient 0.1.5
• Esp8266 boards 2.7.4

Regarding the Wifi configuration I did the same. And now it works well.

Note: I'm using the ESP32 Dev board and I must modify the following block code:

#include <ArduinoMqttClient.h>
#if defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRWIFI1010) || defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_NANO_33_IOT) || defined(ARDUINO_AVR_UNO_WIFI_REV2)
  #include <WiFiNINA.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKR1000)
  #include <WiFi101.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_ESP8266_ESP12)
  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#endif

By following:

#include <ArduinoMqttClient.h>
#if defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKRWIFI1010) || defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_NANO_33_IOT) || defined(ARDUINO_AVR_UNO_WIFI_REV2)
  #include <WiFiNINA.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_SAMD_MKR1000)
  #include <WiFi101.h>
#elif defined(ARDUINO_ESP8266_ESP12)
  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#elif defined (ESP32)
  #include <WiFi.h>
#endif
