I noticed after updating to the latest rtl fw and wifi libraries, rpcUnified 2.1.3 and rpcWifi 1.0.4
I notice the scanNetworks() function sometimes hangs forever. I have to reset the Wio to get out of the issue.
For a debug test, I decided to switch to Async mode of scanning, and that eventually hangs also.
n = WiFi.scanNetworks(/async/true, /hidden/true, /passive/false, ms_per_chan);
I put this into a loop with a delay and poll the status, and after about 5 min of scanning and completing, the WiFi.scanNetworks() function even in async mode hangs. I would expect it to return -1 (Running) or -2 (failed) but instead it blocks forever.
Hi,
I run the example of wifiscan
it works well.
and i try the scan wifi async mode, too.
this is the result.
whether is it the result you want? Because you said that you expected it to return -1 (Running) or -2 (failed).
if u still have some problems, feel free to upload more details or code.
How long did you let it run?
It works fine for about 5 min. Then it hangs forever.
I added the Watchdog to reboot the Wio when it hangs, and now my Wio will reboot randomly when the scan hangs.
I just loaded the WiFiScan Example, and let it run, It hung within 2 min. Notice the console output below. The Wio is now Hung. I need to power cycle it, or reset it

@Seeed-Liu So you don’t see the hang ? I still see it randomly. The hardware watchdog luckily will reboot the Wio, but that is really a band aide
After 2 years, I just updated the wifi FW and recompiled with latest wifi lib’s but I still see the issue.
Its good that the Wio has a watchdog, so it reboots, but this is annoying.
The Line that randomly hangs forever is
int n = WiFi.scanNetworks(/async/true, /hidden/true, /passive/false, ms_per_chan);
