Hi,

I am trying to set up a WiFi MESH-network without a router (root node will transmit information via onboard 4G), and I am using ESP-IDF to support chain topology.

I have managed to make the mesh connect nicely, nodes are recognized and the root is set based on external criteria (currently just a strap on a GPIO).

However, none of my messages seem to be received on any of the devices whatever I do.

The relevant parts of my code are:
Mesh init (all router settings commented out):

Code: Select all

mesh_cfg_t cfg = MESH_INIT_CONFIG_DEFAULT();
    /* mesh ID */
    memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.mesh_id, MESH_ID, 6);
    /* router */
    //cfg.channel = CONFIG_MESH_CHANNEL;
    //cfg.router.ssid_len = strlen(CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_SSID);
    //memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.router.ssid, CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_SSID, cfg.router.ssid_len);
    //memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.router.password, CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_PASSWD,
           //strlen(CONFIG_MESH_ROUTER_PASSWD));*/
    /* mesh softAP */
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_mesh_set_ap_authmode(CONFIG_MESH_AP_AUTHMODE));
    cfg.mesh_ap.max_connection = CONFIG_MESH_AP_CONNECTIONS;
    memcpy((uint8_t *) &cfg.mesh_ap.password, CONFIG_MESH_AP_PASSWD,
           strlen(CONFIG_MESH_AP_PASSWD));
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_mesh_set_config(&cfg));

This returns " mesh: [MANUAL]designated as root and router is not set".

My mesh_send commands look like this:

Code: Select all

//node send to root
err = esp_mesh_send(NULL, &data, MESH_DATA_P2P, NULL, 0);

//root send to nodes
for (i = 0; i < route_table_size; i++) {
err = esp_mesh_send(&route_table[i], &data, MESH_DATA_P2P, NULL, 0);
}

This all works perfectly fine when a router is connected, but not at all when I do not have a router connected.

I would be thankful for any tips as I'm banging my head against the wall at the moment..

I did figure this out, although I rewrote my whole program from scratch, so I'm a little bit unsure what the problem was.

I think I didn't successfully set esp_mesh_set_self_organized on the root node in the old program.

Hi Snedig.

Did you use the manual networking or the auto networking? I am trying the same with the manual networking but the scanning returns me just the "normal wifis" and no mesh from the node. So the node cannot join the mesh.

Thanks

Hi Magnetuz,

I found out that the manual networking does not work in chain topology, the networking IE info that is broadcast from the AP's is not the same size as for tree. I've made a Github issue for this.

For me, manual networking did work in tree topology, but for chain I had to do auto networking.

Hi Snedig.

Would you have some code example of how you did the wifi/mesh configuration and the finish scan function for the manual networking? I am also using the tree topology, but I get no scan results for the softAP (the AP from the mesh network).

For the finish scan function, I am doing like this:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

for(int i = 0 ; i < ap_count ; i++) {
    esp_mesh_scan_get_ap_ie_len(&ie_len);
    esp_mesh_scan_get_ap_record(&pap_info, &assoc);
...
}

GeSHi © Codebox Plus Extension

I loop all the results and try to match a registered id/password. But this will provide me just the "normal" AP, like from routers and repeaters. The softAPs are never listed there. So when my ESP32 has just the mesh id/password, I cannot match to anything.

The workaround I am doing now is: if I cannot find any network in manual scannig, I switch the scan to automatic. At this mode, the ESP32 is able to connect to a mesh without any information regarding the router.

Thank you

For the tree topology, I am pretty sure I went with an unmodded example and it worked as expected.

Here's my entire code for MESH init that works for me with no router settings, beware, there may be some surplus stuff that isn't necessary, and it's no comment country, but it might give you a tip. My thought is that it's not doing esp_mesh_set_type(MESH_ROOT) on the root node and the esp_mesh_fix_root(true) for the nodes that is creating problems for you.

Hey just a small question, you just commented the router configuration lines to make it work without need to have a router? Because I want to do such thing, a ESP-MESH network that doesn't need a router, just some nodes orginized in tree topology, that can send and receive messages between them.

Posted: **Wed May 12, 2021 4:08 am**

I'm also trying to build a routerless mesh network (using tree topology, with esp-idf v4.2). It seems that I have the network forming with a chosen root device, but I'm not getting messages through. Debug shows that devices are connecting. See below:

I (1882) wifi: new:<1,1>, old:<1,0>, ap:<1,1>, sta:<0,0>, prof:1
I (1892) wifi: station: 10:52:1c:66:98:60 join, AID=1, bgn, 40U
I (1892) wifi: new:<1,1>, old:<1,1>, ap:<1,1>, sta:<0,0>, prof:1
I (1902) wifi: station: 10:52:1c:69:48:00 join, AID=2, bgn, 40U
I (1912) mesh_main: <MESH_EVENT_PS_CHILD_DUTY>cidx:0, 10:52:1c:66:98:60, duty:12
I (1912) mesh_main: <MESH_EVENT_PS_CHILD_DUTY>cidx:1, 10:52:1c:69:48:00, duty:12

I (1942) mesh_main: <MESH_EVENT_CHILD_CONNECTED>aid:2, 10:52:1c:69:48:00

I'd like to start by sending JSON strings from the nodes to the root device. Instead of seeing the JSON strings, I'm getting this at the root debug:

Can anyone provide me with a working example of mesh WITHOUT a router? I would be happy to pay for a few hours of consulting time.
