ESP32 won't connect to cayenne

mandyburnz · April 12, 2018, 9:23am

Hi,
I downloaded the cayenne esp32 library off github and my esp32 is running other code fine. I ran the sample wifi code to ensure it was connecting to the internet, all fine.
I selected the sparkfun esp8266 thing on the my devices part, then in the code I changed the username password and client ID to match the cayenne website, and typed in my wifi details, when I uploaded the code there are no errors looks like it is working, but then on the cayenne webite it is waiting for board to connect. The board never connects, so I don’t know what to do next. Please help ASAP.

add #define CAYENNE_DEBUG in your code and check serial monitor for any error.

mandyburnz · April 12, 2018, 10:16am

I done this, there is nothing printing to my serial monitor and it is at the correct baud-rate.

shramik_salgaonkar · April 12, 2018, 10:32am

can you share the link of the device you are using.

have you installed the ESP32 Board Package arduino-esp32/README.md at master · espressif/arduino-esp32 · GitHub ??

mandyburnz · April 12, 2018, 12:00pm

Yes there are all installed, board is working fine apart from not being able to connect to cayenne.

#include <WiFi.h>
 
const char* ssid = "yourNetworkName";
const char* password =  "yourNetworkPass";
 
void setup() {
 
  Serial.begin(115200);
 
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi..");
  }
 
  Serial.println("Connected to the WiFi network");
 
}
 
void loop() {
 
}

this is the code i used to connect my wifi connection. Everything was ok. Then below is the code i used to send to cayenne. Please anyone help!

I have added getValue.setError(“Error message”); and got the error [532] WiFi not present.
Ran it a few times and the error message is intermittent?

any ideas??

Thank you!!!

I thought I was going crazy. Your solution helped get the Adafruit HUZZAH32 Feather to run the sample!

Hopefully Cayenne update the library or sample code so it works first time out the box.

hkobir1973 · May 23, 2018, 4:32am

I am using the same code but can’t upload the code to esp32. Compiling is ok but uploading fails showing some errors. I have use Blynk with esp32 and its work fantastic but Cayenne IOT platform doesn’t. I am trying to connect with Cyenne my devices but fails again again. I have done so many install, unnstall library, arduino IDE, esp32 board addition etc but fail to work with Cayenne IOT mydevices.com.

shramik_salgaonkar · May 23, 2018, 4:55am

follow the instruction from here Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino/ESP32.ino at master · myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino · GitHub and if you can share what error you are facing we can help you out.

Thanks shramik.

[526] WiFi not present error in cayenne MQTT esp32 board (After uploading)

Collegiate, exist status 1 error during uploading. (During uploading);

shramik_salgaonkar · May 23, 2018, 2:20pm

can you share the code you are using.

hkobir1973 · June 3, 2018, 3:48pm

Sorry for late reply. It is now working. There was wifi credentials problem for cayenne.begin(). SSID/cSSID; password/cpassword.

Hi I have an error to connect with cayenne
I use esp32 and I installed the library when I upload the code there is error :
'esp_wp2_config_t ’ was not declared in this scope
Plz any help !!

shramik_salgaonkar · August 21, 2022, 1:29pm

can you share the entire error from the serial monitor and also the code you are using.
