How to control / determine Join retry settings
I'm trying to reconcile what I am witnessing in the operation of my mDot, and the various methods for dealing with Join retries.
I use a function:
setJoinRetries(3);
that claims to set the number of retries before "giving up". I don't really know what "giving up" means...
However, when I call
while ((ret = dot->joinNetwork()) != mDot::MDOT_OK) {
logError("failed to join network [%d][%s]", ret, mDot::getReturnCodeString(ret).c_str());
wait_ms(100);
the function never returns. I see Join attempt #1 in the debug output but no further attempts.
Should the joinNetwork function try 3 (my setting above) times before returning an error? Why is it never returning?
Turns out the libraries are buggy. I reverted back a few revs and the problem disappeared.
