Been following esp home for a while and finally decided to give it a go over using Arduino IDE.
How hard can it be.
I am using the Hassio addon on a raspberry pi. Worked through the set up and writing my first program.(Just connecting to WiFi with ota and admin passwords.)
Using a nodemcu V1
Seems to compile and program ok but will not connect to WiFi just keeps cycling through connected, authenticating, disconnected authentication failed
Board works when programmed with Arduino IDE
Any ideas
It’d help more if we can see the logs and/or errors.
There might be more eyes to see your details and perhaps oversights.
Will post some logs later tonight when I get home.
Well don’t you know it.
Ran it again to got the logs. It started in a similar way and then just seemed to work.
Here are the logs anyway in case they tell you anything.
Hard resetting via RTS pin...

It seems that is not able to connect. Perhaps password changed.
Looks like a password error indeed.
Definitely not a password error. Double checked but I have seen them connect.
I now have 2 nodemcus set up
test1:- the one programmed with the logs above that were sucsessful. Now being powered from a USB charger
and
test2:- I have seen this on online briefly. This is still connected to the USB port on the raspberry pi
Both behave the same and are sometimes connected but more often show as offline and cant be contacted.
Any more ideas.
What about power glitches?
Try to supply the devices from outside the USB. Just for a test. I suppose that the maximum that the RPi’s USB port is giving is the standard 250 mA. I saw other modules (like HC-06) having pick of 0.5 A.
Device connected to 2.1A charger still has the problem.
In the same setup but programmed using code from auduino IDE there seems to be no such problem.
