Wio Terminal as Webserver

I’ve spent an… interesting… day at:

https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Wio-Terminal-Network-Overview/

… trying to set my Wio Terminal up as a webserver.

Early on, we are told to update the Wi-Fi core of the RTL8720 before usage… and given a small sketch to check what version our core is after we try to do that.

But no indication I could find of what version number we should see when we do the check. Can anyone help?

I’ve got the sample code running… but it takes a long time… 10-30 seconds it seems like… to get past the “WiFi.begin”, and then it never leaves the “while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)” loop.

Ideas? (And yes, I’m using Seeed_Arduino_mbedtls-dev)

All this using a Windows 10 PC.

(I’ve successfully set up webservers in other Arduinos before.)

I’ve been successful with the simpler “Scanning Wi-Fi Network Example Code”.

NOT successful with “Connecting to Specified Network Example Code”. (Fails the way the webserver code fails. And yes, I did put my ssid and password in, and AP is broadcasting the ssid. 2.4GHz WPA-2 Personal. (Arris Surfboard… Firewall set to medium. Reducing to “low” didn’t help.)

From your feedback, it appears that you have not successfully flashed the WiFi firmware into the machine. Is it convenient to take a screenshot of the terminal after executing the command to show me?
