I'm working on connecting a Raspberry Pi Zero W to an android device and having some issues. I think I am very close to getting it to work, but perhaps there is some small error.
So I followed the answer in this post by @Ingo Setting up Wifi direct (wifi p2p) and DHCP server and I get some differences in my results. I am able to set everything up correctly; the pi and the android are able to see each other over wifi direct, but when I try to connect to the android from my pi using
pi ~$ wpa_cli -ip2p-dev-wlan0 p2p_connect a2:91:69:b2:91:a9 pbc
, I simply get the output "FAIL".
If I initiate connection to the raspberry pi on the android (I get the pin window first and I hit decline since I don't know the pin), the pi is listed as invited and I then get OK when I execute the above command. After this, the pbc accept connection window pops up and I accept but nothing changes, the pi is still listed as invited.
Can anyone help me with this? Also is there a way to see a more verbose log of what's happening in this command so I can have a better idea of what's going on? simply FAIL is not very helpful. wpa_cli doesn't seem to have a verbose option to my knowledge.
Thanks!!
