PIC-IoT-WA-4.1.0.hex #4

Open allannogueras opened 3 years ago

allannogueras commented 3 years ago

Hi, I bought two PIC-IoT WA boards and plugged one of them in. After opening up the Curiocity drive and clicking CLICK-ME.HTM

https://pic-iot.com/pic-iot/aws/ I got to this landing page where it adviced me to upgrade the firmware as the first thing.

That brought me to this page on github where a version of the firmware in version 4.1.0 resided https://github.com/microchip-pic-avr-solutions/pic-iot-aws-sensor-node/releases/tag/4.1.0

After upgrading the board with this version the board is not able to establish a connection. I got a board with BLUE on, GREEN flashing, rest of LESD are off.

I thought for a while this was a wifi connection problem and tried to disable various levels of security. didnt help

When i plugged in the 2nd board and update the wifi settings by pulling WIFI.CFG to the curiocity drive it worked immeadtely. I then decided to figure out if this was just a good and a bad board, so I upgraded the 2nd board, and now I have two identical boards without MQTT activity.

What am I missing here ?

thanks and regards

Allan

Echo the problems others are seeing above.

allannogueras commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I resolved the problem by running the iotprovisioning tool.

iotprovision-bin -c aws -m sandbox -P COM8 -ssid -psk -auth wpa-psk

Replace ssid and pass with the actual Wifi credentials ofcourse. Had to specify the COM port also since the tool wasnt able to find it .

After running the tool the sandbox demo was again able to connect to the cloud service on my two PIC-IoT-WA boards.

regards Allan

Running the above command e.g. ./iotprovision-bin -c aws -m sandbox -ssid -psk -auth wpa-psk resulted in the following output:

Hi. The -P option was helpful. I was able to confirm the connection to AWS by following the tutorial below.

Thank you very much
