TTGO cant get mac address to display

Postby tjodork » Thu Dec 15, 2022 4:27 pm

I'm trying to display the mac address on the display... Ive had no trouble displaying anything else but it displays
mac: ?
I use the same String variable and output to the serial console with no issue

here is what displays in serial console
IP Address: 192.168.1.162
signal strength (RSSI):-53 dBm
To see this page in action, open a browser to http://192.168.1.162
mac:3C:61:05:0C:F3:44

and again ...what is displayed in the TTGO display for the mac line is
mac: ?
Note that I was able to display the IP where the mac was with no issue

Code: Select all


#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>       // Hardware-specific library
#include <WiFi.h>
//const char* ssid     = "IBMInternet";
//const char* password = "";
const char* ssid     = "xxxx";
const char* password = "xxxxxx";

turns out I cannot pass String into sprintf

so I had to add .c_str() to each String

sprintf(line5, "%s %s", IPString.c_str(), wifiMacString.c_str());

whats puzzling is why the compile wouldn't complain about that
