ESP32 (ESP-IDF) WiFi setup over HTTP requests

Postby YHatahet » Sun Oct 20, 2019 12:58 pm

Hello all,

I have recently succeeded in running the ESP32 as an access point (AP), while simultaneously running it as a station (connected to my home router), and having it receive and interpret HTTP requests.
My next step is to try and run the ESP as an AP on startup, make it receive my WiFi credentials over an HTTP request (over POST requests or something, ill decide later - got that figured out), and then change from an AP to station. I know you can change it from APSTA mode to STA mode (I tried and it works), but it always crashes if I run APSTA without configuring the STA mode.

Short version, I want to input my credentials over HTTP requests, and then turn off AP mode. Also if possible, if it loses wifi connection, turn on AP mode again.

I attached the code I used at the bottom. Thank you for your time.
Regards.
