have not had more testing and maybe my observations are of help to get this problem solved.
tests on rpi2, 2 x wifi, OP 0.8.0 (just updated/-graded and cloned)
The issue of having the SSID of the UDP wifi sometimes visible and sometimes not seems to have to do with the setting in menu/preferences/network connections
when I define there a wifi connection as infrastructure with correct SSID then this SSID is shown in click gui network-icon.
Strangely when connecting then there another connection is generated in menu/preferences/network connections with SSIDname1 with setting mode:adhoc but even after 1 minute trying no connection is established. Played also with different MTU settings but makes no difference.
I believe already when trying to connect to a UDP server the handshake should be handled differently to TCP connections, meaning not to wait until an IP address is assigned but just selecting the connection. Listening port etc I can then configure in OP.
This is how I believe Apple is handling it on the iPad as I have no issue whatsoever there to connect. On the iPad, when I connect I see no entry in wifi settings under DHCP addr but when pushing renew lease I get the 169.254.193.188 (255.255.0.0) shown - unfortunately it doesn't show me the IP address assigned only the DHCP gateway.
BTW I have also tried to connect with Win10 but failed.
As I suspected that the wifi implementation in maybe slightly non standard I also contacted the supplier of the wireless Wind>Vane in Canada. Surprisingly
they are not support oriented - their advise was get a new WindVane and all your problems will be solved
Thats when I remembered that we had initially also connection issues with iNavX, iRegatta and their proprietary Android application.
Any ideas what I should try next?
Or does anyone know of a reasonable priced wireless, solar powered Windspeed/-direction sensor ?
