my connection is ok. my code is correct.
But I can’t send data.
After a while, the board goes offline.
I tried USB Serial connection with “Arduino Uno”, no problem.
I’m using SoftwareSerial.
SoftwareSerial EspSerial(2, 3); // 2-RX, 3-TX
ESP8266 wifi(&EspSerial);
18:47:02.987 → [7698] Connected to WiFi
18:47:02.987 → [7698] Connecting to mqtt.mydevices.com:1883
18:47:04.309 → [9014] Connected
18:47:05.121 → [9828] Publish: topic 4, channel 65534, vaa
meanwhile it gives mux error.

Above code is not for using usb to print on serial monitor. Serial pin are used for communicating with the esp. That is the reason for this code is not suited for single hardware serial pins boards.
sorry, i tried the code below, 15sec. then goes offline.
#define VIRTUAL_CHANNEL 1
#define ACTUATOR_PIN 10
// Set ESP8266 Serial object.
//SoftwareSerial mySerial(9, 10); // RX, TX
#define EspSerial Serial
ESP8266 wifi(&EspSerial);
void setup()
{
// Serial.begin(9600);
// delay(10);
pinMode(ACTUATOR_PIN, OUTPUT);
// Set ESP8266 baud rate
EspSerial.begin(9600);
delay(10);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, wifi, ssid, wifiPassword);
// Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void loop()
{
Cayenne.loop();
}
// Default function for sending sensor data at intervals to Cayenne.
// You can also use functions for specific channels, e.g CAYENNE_OUT(1) for sending channel 1 data.
CAYENNE_IN(VIRTUAL_CHANNEL)
{
int value = getValue.asInt();
CAYENNE_LOG(“Channel %d, pin %d, value %d”, VIRTUAL_CHANNEL, ACTUATOR_PIN, value);
// Write the value received to the digital pin.
digitalWrite(ACTUATOR_PIN, value);
}
add this in the code:
CAYENNE_OUT_DEFAULT()
{
// Write data to Cayenne here. This example just sends the current uptime in milliseconds on virtual channel 0.
Cayenne.virtualWrite(0, millis());
// Some examples of other functions you can use to send data.
//Cayenne.celsiusWrite(1, 22.0);
//Cayenne.luxWrite(2, 700);
//Cayenne.virtualWrite(3, 50, TYPE_PROXIMITY, UNIT_CENTIMETER);
}
serial monitor shows it is publishing data. but there is a disconnect message.
yes somehow my connection is broken, this connection is not caused by esp8266, esp8266 alone is working properly with rx, tx empty code,?
Do you have two devices connecting with same client id?
no not.
can you try powering the esp with an external power supply and i hope you are using a voltage divider at the RX pin.
