RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
Thanks Ed. I played around with trying to create a virtual drive and mounting the flashair remotely to it but didn't have much luck yesterday. Must be some setting in my wLan folder on the flashwifi that is off I suspect.
However, after changing the location Sleepyhead was pulling from, it appears I was able to get Flashpap to pull last nights data from my flashair mounted in my Airsense 10 this morning and Sleepyhead successfuly imported it. So currently I do have wireless importing capability! Not sure if I want to mess with it now that it is finally working.
Using a virtual drive would mean not having to use Flashpap. I would be pulling data directly from the virtual drive into Sleepyhead, but it's a small enough step I suppose to use Flashpap and it is working. "One in the hand..." and all that.

Oh, yeah, once you get anything on a home network using Windows working, don't ever touch it, ever . . . I only do what I do because I also use Rescan and it requires an SD card on the computer it is running on (or a direct connection to the machine).
Glad you have it working.

RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
Hello all. Run into a bit of a snag. Everything seems to work fine for a number of days and then when I use flashpap I get an error message that there is no connection with the Flashair card. I remove the card from the machine, insert it back in wait for a bit and then try again and then I get a connection. Any idea why this would be happening and what I could do to fix it?
Here is my Wifi Config file from the card. Not sure if all of those lines are necessary..

RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
If you specify this:
DHCP_Enabled=YES
These are ignored:
IP_Address=192.168.0.15
Subnet_Mask=255.255.255.0
Other than that, which wouldn't result in your card dropping, everything else looks okay. DNSMODE is set to 1 on mine. Don't think it would be the reason you are losing connection either. Minor OCD point - you have UPLOAD=1 twice. Also won't effect communication.
So I would look at how far from your CPAP machine is your wifi router? If more than 30 feet, any chance you can move the router closer, even temporarily to test?
A.
RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
Thank you Alan! I would say my CPAP machine is more like 50 feet away. But it is a pretty powerful router with a lot of range on it. I can get a wifi signal outside of my house almost at the street with my cellphone.
Do I need to remove that DHCP line or do I set it as "No"?
RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
Set it to "NO". If your home phone is a 2.4 wireless or your kitchen (microwave) is in between your FlashAir and the access point, you might encounter an interruption. You will need to do what you have been doing to reset it.

Could I delete the line entirely or does it need to be there to say "no"?

It may not default to DHCP when it sees an IP/Mask but having a parameter for it makes me wonder how the card will default if it isn't listed. Just to be safe I'd declare it as "No".

Edit Reason: more info

RE: Toshiba FlashAir 2 with Flashpap configuration
DHCP_Enabled=YES is the default. Removing the line will be the same as leaving it in set to YES.
If DHCP_Enabled config doesn't exist or if it is set to YES, the IP_Address and Subnet_Mask lines are just ignored. If you need to specify an IP and subnet, use DHCP_Enabled=NO.
Also, your wifi router being 50 feet away is your issue. The antenna on the flashair is real small (and the card sits inside your cpap machine). Your phone has a much better antenna and can receive the signal further away. I had the same issue and my router was only 40 feet away. I had to cycle my card constantly until I move my router closer. It is now within 20 feet of the Flashair and I haven't had a single drop out since.
