Simple Wifi not working - rebooting

Postby maxwell32 » Thu Apr 13, 2017 6:22 pm

Hello,

I'm having serious issues getting the Wifi working. I want to create an access point and figured out that the esp_wifi_start() always leaded to a reboot of the ESP32. So I tried the esp-idf-template with the wifi-station-mode and commented the esp_wifi_connect()-line. But still an error occurs and the ESP32 keeps rebooting. Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem?

This is the serial output and below you can see the code.
Thank you in advance! :)

Which ESP32 development board are you using, and how are you powering it?

Also, could you please post the output of "git describe" and "git status" in the ESP-IDF directory. Thanks.

What do you use as a power supply? Can it provide at least 300mA and preferably 500mA of current? (3.3V outputs from USB-to-serial boards are known to be inadequate for this.)

Thanks for your reply. I used my USB port to power it.
Now I built an external 3.3 power supply and it works without problems.

Thank you!
