OpenPlotter 4 roadmap

[dreuge]

This doesn't seem to work for my SensESP project.

I can connect with no problem to a Pi4 running OP3 but no matter what I try (including the above suggestion), the SensESP example app refuses to connect to either a Pi4 or a Pi5 running OP4. 

I think this is a SensESP issue - every other device I have tried is very happy to connect to a hotspot set up under OP4.

Any clues gratefully accepted - I'd really like to update to Pi5/OP4 but this is a dealbreaker at the moment.

I've never been able to get an ESP to connect to a Pi creating both a wifi network and connecting to a wifi network at the same time using just the internal wifi adaptor if that's what you're trying to do. From memory think it worked using a separate usb/wifi dongle to connect to  the external network. Using the internal adaptor to do both has always been a bit unstable, now just connect to to updates.

I had a similar problem moving my SensESP devices over to a new Pi5/OP4.  It drove me nuts too.  The problem is a bug in the code that has the SensESP device use the old stored sk_server value as defaults and ignores new hard coded and flashed values via code like ->set_sk_server("10.42.0.1", 3000).  

It is an easy fix.  Just connect to the SensESP device web interface and use the setup page to change to the new configuration.

For example if you use  SensESPAppBuilder->set_hostname("Engine-Monitor-SensESP") then connect to the device via http://Engine-Monitor-SensESP.local and click on the setup page to make your update.
