Network timeout #15

Open blackrockcitynv opened 5 years ago

blackrockcitynv commented 5 years ago

Code seems stable but when the node connects without artnet data being sent it renews its lifetime counter for 20:00 if i send artnet data the timer never renews and eventually the unit disconnects and reboots. If I ping the unit then the timer stays live and connection stays stable. Do you know why it does this?

Sorry, was a bit busy. I don't know the issue. Maybe a problem with you WiFi access-point? A energy savings option? What is 'lifetime counter' for you? Is it in your router or the ArtNet software?

blackrockcitynv commented 5 years ago

Im using an Alfa dual band usb adapter and the realtek software for using as an ap shows the lifetime counter it looks like it pings the ips somehow and resets if it sees it as live

With this setup, energy savings settings are more likely than before. But, it is just a guess.

I have also been experiencing this problem. I have multiple nodes running this code and they all reset at around 20 min. Is there a way to disable this counter and/or set it to infinity?

I solved this in the following way:

`// connect to wifi – returns true if successful or false if not bool ConnectWifi(void) { bool state = true;

WiFi.begin(ssid, password); Serial.println(""); Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi");

// Wait for connection Serial.print("Connecting"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { delay(500); Serial.print("."); } Serial.println("");

Serial.println("WiFi connected"); Serial.println("IP address: "); Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

return state; }`

The modification is not very clean. Surely this function can be improved.
