Cannot get the wifi shield working

[jpmarquessantos]

Hi,

Sorry for double posting. I opened an issue at OpenBCI_Radios (#31), but it is more appropriate here, I think:

I'm facing many difficulties while putting my new wifi shield working. So far, I have the wifi shield disconnected from everything, except the battery of course. Even so, I was using a LiPo 1100 mAh 3.7 V battery, but actually, I'm using a 4x AA 1.5 V pack (outputting 6.1 V). I also have been trying with two different laptops, both running Windows 10, although.
While trying wifi direct, both laptops can detect the network and connect (OpenBCI-E379). It takes some time but I am able to see the page in Chrome at 192.168.4.1. However, when I try 192.168.4.1/board, I just get:

File not found

URI: /board
Method: GET
Arguments: 0

At OpenBCI_GUI (either v3.1 and 3.2) all the searches returned empty, i.e. it was never possible to detect the wifi shield.
I tried to ping 192.168.4.1. The best result was 3 packets returned and the worst was just 1.
I saw this video:

and I remarked a different led with light: D2. In my wifi shield the only led which is always on is D3, and D4 when it is sat on Cyton. In my case, D2 never blinked 10 times, in fact, it never blinked.
Therefore, I am suspecting that there is something wrong with my board and any help would be welcome.

Regards, Jose Paulo

What happens if you go to 192.168.1.4? Do you see the home page of the shield?

Can you try joining the wifi network and going to 192.168.1.4/version?

[jpmarquessantos]

Yes, I can see the homepage of the shield.
Well, maybe 192.168.4.1/version (or am I wrong?). I got the same error:

File Not Found

URI: /version
Method: GET
Arguments: 0

I'm so sorry i didn't see you replied on this thread, for some reason i have not been getting notifications for this issue :/

[andrewjaykeller]

What browser are you using by the way?

[jpmarquessantos]

Chrome.
(Note: please close issue OpenBCI_Radios #31 because they are the same)

I am having a similar issue not getting the shield to work after connecting to it directly.

I get this when running http://192.168.4.1/board:
{"board_connected":false,"board_type":"none","num_channels":0,"gains":[]}

My details:
Mac OS X 10.12.6
Wifi Shield firmware: v2.0.5 (tried it on v2.0.4 as well)
Cyton firmware: 3.1.0 via using OpenBCI_GUI beta which shows the version at the bottom after starting connection

The Cyton works while using the dongle. Just can't figure out how to get the WiFi working.
