3 years ago The end of the log shows that WifiManager has set up its access point at 192.168.4.1 When you try to connect to this network from a wifi client (phone/tablet etc) you should get a request to enter the wifi password which is BaseConfig,h WHen connected and a browser accesses 192.168.4.1 you should get the interface to set up the router connection by selecting the network name and entering the password. There is an overall timeout of 180 seconds for this to be completed.
Is that happening for you?
One thing to check is the item in BaseConfig.h called FASTCONNECT. This default sto True but only works if you have the version of WifiManager that supports fast connection ( 1 second instead of normal 4 seconds). I suggest you set this to FALSE to check if that may be causing a problem.
If you are still getting nowhere you could try putting an explicit connection into your network bypassing WifiManager to see if you then get a stable connection. To do this you need to temporarily edit the BaseSupport.h library file.
Look for the linewifiConnect(0); (around line 357) comment it out and insert WiFi.begin(ssid, password); where ssid and password are your wifi network parameters
I had used a router connection to make it normally more convenient to use as the client would not have to be switched to a different network to use it. It would be possible to leave the ESP8266 in AP mode if that is wanted. TO do this one would need to change the BaseSupport.h in the same way as above when hard coding the ssid and password. You would need to replace the Wifi.begin call with something like WiFi.softAP(ssid, psk); where the parameters are the ssid and the WPA2 password key The default ip address of this network will be 192.168.4.1

Trying to use the code with NodeMCU (ESP8266) and it doesn't connect to any of my WiFi networks. Without wifi connection I can't check if the rest of the code works. At first ESP reports, that it received IP address, however times out later on. In general, it would be better if I could connect to ESP as AP without additional router and set up pulse generator instead of wifi interface. I'm using Wifi manager and BaseConfig libraries from the links provided in the readme file.
