(SOLVED)ESP-IDF: E (588) wifi:failed to post WiFi event=40 ret=259
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:51 pm
I'm trying something new. I want to detect certain management packets, then trigger an alarm when detected.
The error above comes from the libnet80211.a library.
I was hoping to see the source somewhere to find out what event=40 ret=259 could mean.
The highlighted code is the line that breaks.
I've tried running the code on a ESP32S as well as a ESP WROOM 32 (the one that has the UNO layout)
