Description

I can't see the ESP as accesspoint on any WIFI-device after starting the autoconnect() function. Is there any additional debug functionality I can active to may be detect the error?

Settings in IDE

Module: NodeMcu, Wemos D1

Additional libraries:

Sketch

#include <WiFiManager.h>

// Set web server port number to 80
WiFiServer server(80);

// Variable to store the HTTP request
String header;

void setup() {
#ifdef DEBUG
    uart_div_modify(0, UART_CLK_FREQ / 115200);
    Serial.begin(115200);
    gdbstub_init();
#else
    Serial.begin(115200);
#endif

  // WiFiManager
  // Local intialization. Once its business is done, there is no need to keep it around
  WiFiManager wifiManager;

  // Uncomment and run it once, if you want to erase all the stored information
  // wifiManager.resetSettings();

  // set custom ip for portal
  //wifiManager.setAPConfig(IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));

  // fetches ssid and pass from eeprom and tries to connect
  // if it does not connect it starts an access point with the specified name
  // here  "AutoConnectAP"
  // and goes into a blocking loop awaiting configuration
  // wifiManager.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP", "password");
  // or use this for auto generated name ESP + ChipID
  wifiManager.autoConnect();

  // if you get here you have connected to the WiFi
  Serial.println("Connected.");

  server.begin();
}

Try a full erase, and retry it, sometimes the softap wont start , this version does not detect failures, also make sure your esp lib is up to date. Might also try our development branch

I tried the full erase already (by uncommenting wifiManager.resetSettings() once - without success. I try now to update the esp8266 libs ...

[JochenKoehler69]

Just updated all libraries and ESP lib to 2.7.0 and also changed to 0.15.0-beta. The serial output changed a little:

WM: WM: AutoConnect bcn 0 del if1 usl mode : sta(4c:11:ae:03:25:12) add if0 WM: Connecting as wifi client... WM: No saved credentials WM: Connection result: WM: 0 del if0 usl mode : softAP(4e:11:ae:03:25:12) add if1 dhcp server start:(ip:192.168.4.1,mask:255.255.255.0,gw:192.168.4.1) bcn 100 WM: WM: Configuring access point...

But accesspoint is still not visible from any other WIFI device ...

You need to do a real erase
