WeatherDuino Pro2 Compact v5.0_b001 no WIFI connection

[Sun_Dancer]

After the update v5.0_b001, the Pro2 Compact no longer connects to the WIFI network. If I flash back to V4.3, the connection is restored.

Hi Sun_Dancer,

Many thanks for the feedback. Indeed, I found a typo mistake on the initial release.

The initial release has a typo mistake on the Config_Options.h file. On line 312, where it says ENABLE INTERNET, should be ENABLE_WIFI
This typo causes that there is no WiFi connection, and its fixed on the 2021-04-07 update.

Please download the Pro2 Compact software package again.

Further to your issue.

I also get compilation errors if I enable 'BROADCAST_DATA' in config_options when testing compilation and have yet to install on my unit.  
 

PHP Code:

C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Arduino\WeatherDuino_Pro2_Compact_v5.0_b001_20210404\WeatherDuino_Pro2_Compact\software\RX software\WeatherDuino_P2ESP8266_RX_v5.0_b001\RX_TX.ino: In function 'void BroadcastData(int, long int, long int, long int, long int)':
RX_TX:536:6: error: 'udp1' was not declared in this scope
      udp1.begin(UDP_BROADCAST_PORT);
      ^
exit status 1
'udp1' was not declared in this scope 


if I leave broadcast_data disabled it compiles fine but have not deployed to a unit, since i need this flag enable to pass data to my display units.

I think this can be ignored now and was obviously related.  I have now applied the fix as mentioned in the previous post now of enable_wifi in lieu of enable_internet on line 312 of config_options and now compiles fine.  Time to deploy!

Hi bgedward,

Yes, it is related. Error is fixed on latest Pro2 Compact update.
Thanks for the report.

I'm so used to my Wireless Display units that I can't dispense them. The "broadcast data" is a must for me too
