ezsbc board for Arduino

Unread post by mouka »

Hi,

I have tried running some simple code to connect to my WiFi network. However I got an error message that I am listing below.
Can someone please chime in and tell me what's going on?

The error code is: WiFi class has no member named firmwareVersion().

I have simply selected an example program that allows me to connect to my WiFi network and display some information about different things.
I am listing the code below:

Code: Select all

/*

 This example connects to an unencrypted Wifi network.
 Then it prints the  MAC address of the Wifi shield,
 the IP address obtained, and other network details.

 Circuit:
 * WiFi shield attached

The reason why you get the message is that the code is being compiled for the wrong board. Make sure that the board is set to "ESP Dev Module" before you try to compile the code. Once you select the ESP32 as the target the Arduino environment should compile the correct version of WiFi.cpp and the error should go away.

It appears that your example is not for the ESP32 but for a different WiFi adapter.
