artnet_neopixel SPIFFS Upload issue?

[sisensee]

Sketch compiles in latest IDE, no obvious errors. SPIFFS Data uploader says it completes upload. unable to browse /index or any other files outside of wifi setup pages.

[robertoostenveld]

is the connection to the http server successful, and is it a spiffs issue or a http issue? Please add in the setup() section somewhere between line 130 and 235 this piece

  server.on("/version", HTTP_GET, []() {
    Serial.println("version");
    server.send(200, "text/plain", version);
  });

Then you can GET http://arttnet.local/version and you should see the firmware version. Or try with http://arttnet.local/dir, which should show you the list of files on the SPIFFS.

What do you see if you listen on the serial interface?

[sisensee]

I do not think the web server is running, it works for the Wifi setup (which made me think web server was working and not even look down that path).
I previously was getting file not founds in the serial monitor now I just get nothing. iPhone gives "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"

what does http://arttnet.local/version return? That link should confirm that the http server is running, and does not use anything from SPIFS.

Can you ping it? Is there any network connection possible after going through the wiki manager configuration?

[sisensee]

I can ping it, get no response from /version at all and when I do a port scan on the IP I get no open ports at all. So the webserver is not functioning.

[robertoostenveld]

Then it is not a SPIFS problem, but a web server problem. Probably you are working with libraries that have all been updated to more recent versions compared to the last time I compiled and flashed the firmware. I propose you try first with a simpler sketch, e.g. with a hard-wired wifi setup (skipping WiFiManager) and e.g. one of https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples. If that works, you can increase the complexity of the sketch step by step.

[sisensee]

if I reset and join Artnet wifi manager is running on port 80 (as expected)
But once the device is on network web server is not opening a port.

[sisensee]

You sir are 100% correct. Even the basic web server examples are not functioning, can I ask what version (from board manager) you are using for the ESP8266? Currently I'm on 2.5.2

[robertoostenveld]

how can I quickly determine the ESP8266 version?

[sisensee]

Arduino IDE > Tools > Board > Board Manager > Search "esp8266"
PS Thanks for the responses!

[sisensee]

Ive tried this with a few NodeMCU's and a Wemos (d1 mini lite) and still have the same results so I don't think its chip,

[sisensee]

Also running Arduino IDE 1.8.10 (thought id mentioned that)

[robertoostenveld]

I have not done anything with Arduino for some time, but did get a new MacBook recently. I think all software was properly transferred from the old one to the one I am currently working on:

I have Arduino 1.8.7, and under board manager I see that I have esp8266 version 2.4.2. So both are older than the ones you are working with.

Since I don't have reasons to believe that it is a problem specific to my sketch, let me close this issue.

[sisensee]

Thank you for the assistance and pointing me in the right direction!
