WiFi: clean up AP SSID setter & getter, support 32 chars by mcspr · Pull Request #7941 · esp8266/Arduino (original) (raw)

@mcspr I am facing a problem where Calling WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str(), PASSS.c_str()); Isnt working, and not updating the ssid and password.
It is only taking for the first time, next time if i upload code with different SSID and PASS, it is not updated(The wifi discovered by phone is still have the same older name). I even tried this pr, but still the same.

Is it a related problem ?
Sketch

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> #include <WiFiClient.h> #include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

String SSIDS = "NewSSID"; // If next time i change this and upload the code again, ssid displayed doesnt actually change. String PASSS = "NewPassword";

/* Just a little test message. Go to http://192.168.4.1 in a web browser connected to this access point to see it. */

void setup() { delay(1000); Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println(); Serial.print("Configuring access point..."); /* You can remove the password parameter if you want the AP to be open. */ WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str(), PASSS.c_str());

IPAddress myIP = WiFi.softAPIP(); Serial.print("AP IP address: "); Serial.println(myIP);

}

void loop() { server.handleClient(); }

This is misbehaving when the new password is different.
Example -
Next time keep

String SSIDS = "ArihnatNK"; 
String PASSS = "Generic";

In that case the ssid will not be updated,

Also, calling WiFi.softAP(SSIDS.c_str()); without password is leading to continous crash due to exception.
