Fluid NC - WiFi Problems with ESP32
Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting an ESP32 running FluidNC to my home Wi-Fi network.
I'm currently building a custom CNC machine and wanted to test whether FluidNC runs smoothly and to take a look at the web UI. The problem is that I can't get it to connect to my Wi-Fi because the SSID contains an exclamation mark - it's just the default FRITZ!Box network name.
I can't realistically rename the Wi-Fi network because I would have to reconnect a huge number of IoT devices afterward.
Here is what I tried so far:
- Setting the Wi-Fi credentials through the web/UI config: the exclamation mark disappears after saving the config.
- Setting it through the terminal: either the "!" triggers terminal behavior or I have to escape it using "%21", which also doesn't work.
At this point I'm getting pretty frustrated.
AI suggested editing the config directly, but from what I understand, "config.yaml" is mainly for hardware configuration like motor definitions, pin mappings, etc., not Wi-Fi settings.
Does anyone know how to properly use an SSID with "!" in FluidNC?
