JavaLaurence Posted February 28, 2013 at 07:41 PM Share Posted February 28, 2013 at 07:41 PM Brickv connects to my stack over Wifi.. then tells me there is no Wifi Extension present. Clearly impossible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photron Posted March 1, 2013 at 10:17 AM Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 10:17 AM I thinks what's happening here is that brickv calls is_wifi_present() on the Master Brick and this calls gets a timeout (see the timeout counter shows 1). This makes brickv not show the WIFI configuration UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaLaurence Posted March 5, 2013 at 08:17 PM Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 at 08:17 PM It could retry, no? And after N retries print a message where the UI ought to be saying "Cannot determine presence of Wifi Extension". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photron Posted March 6, 2013 at 08:52 AM Share Posted March 6, 2013 at 08:52 AM It could retry but that wouldn't help much in general. In your case a spontaneous timeout hits is_wifi_present(). But a spontaneous timeout might hit any other function call as well. We'd have to add retry handling to all API function calls. That's quite a lot of work. I'll note it down as a future enhancement possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
