[answered] Which serial port is WiFi on RCTrack/2?

[GTIspirit]

If a device is connected to the WiFi of the Race Capture Track Mk2, which port is it? 5?

Hi, it should be 5. You should be able to test the current manual GoPro control by changing the port to 5 (and make sure to turn off WiFi under settings)

I tried that, changed the password and SSID to that of my Virb Ultra 30 and no luck. I can't confirm the WiFi connection. The read serial port doesn't return anything.

This is similar to what I reported in that the read serial port doesn't seem to be working.

Well, this is interesting. After trying all the ports, and still no serial port response, I decided to add an initSer command to the configuration. (Not sure why this didn't work for me before, when I tried simple commands to read the serial port, expecting to see NMEA messages or something like that.)

And, after reviewing the ESP8266 instruction set I modified the automatic camera control script slightly to also have it look for the string "WIFI CONNECTED"

Code: Select all

if string.match(line, 'WIFI GOT IP') or string.match(line, 'WIFI CONNECTED') then 
    wifiStatus = 2
  

Interestingly enough, after reviewing the Poll Log, I never saw the response "WIFI GOT IP" but I did see the response "WIFI CONNECTED"

Now that I've got a confirmed WiFi connection I can start figuring out how to send the POST commands.

Confirmed what @brentp said above, WiFi is on Port 5 of the RC Track 2.
