Can't find the Wifi AP network! #51

Closed BullzLabz closed 3 years ago

BullzLabz commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Sorry to open a new issue for this problem (again) but I can't find a good solution to fix it!

I used this (Dev Board for flash the "ledstrip.bin" file to my ESP12-F and I try several times with 3 different ESP-12F modules and I can't see the Wifi AP network !

I've also tried different flash mode "DIO" and "QIO" but same issue and I can't choose the flash size with the NodeMCUFlash tool!

What's doing wrong? I missing steps?

This is the result of my flash's :

esptool.py v2.6

Hello,

One more day has tried to find the Wifi network "HomeKid-xxxx" by flashing other ESP-12F modules and still nothing.

For additional info, I even tried to flash an ESP-32 (Wemos Wroom 32) and nothing either, still no Wifi network with the name of HomeKid-xxxx

I tested a blank module (ESP-12F) to see if I found its network, and no problem with the modules, they all seem to work fine, their WiFi networks are displayed and I can connect it.

For additional information, I'm on Windows 10 and the only thing that I didn't tried is the software provided by Espressif, because I may have made a mistake, it's a real gas factory!

Your help would be really appreciated because I received my printed circuit order via PCBWay and I only have this problem to solve to go to the next step, the reflow!
