AP not visible or not started #28

Hi,

I am new to ESP32, so my apologies if I am missing out something obvious.

I downloaded the esp32-wifi-manager and tried to compile the project, using vscode, ESP-IDF 3.2 and mingw32 under windows. It compiled fine, starts and using make monitor I see the attached log.

No errors present, but I do not see any Access Point when scanning for it. Hence I cannot connect and configure the STA.

esp_wifi_start() in wifi_manager.c, line 577 returns ESP_OK.

I am puzzled, what the problem might be.

I m using the Heltec esp32 wifi board.

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards GvT ESP_wifi_manager.txt

Hello GvTT, when you see the message:

wifi_manager: starting softAP with ssid esp32 wifi_manager: starting softAP with 20 MHz bandwidth wifi_manager: starting softAP on channel 5

It means everything worked as expected. If you have a tool like WireShark you should see the network.

Where do you live? Maybe channel 5 is not authorized in your country.
