ESP32 - ESPNOW: Peer interface is invalid
Posted: Sun May 02, 2021 2:14 pm
Hi, I am trying to implement ESP NOW in a way that I only need to enter at my master the MAC address of the peer.
Then I send the master’s MAC to the peer so the peer can register the master’s received MAC.
I succeeded to send the Master’s MAC to the peer but so far I failed to have the peer register the master MAC.
Console printout and the code of the peer is as below, the Master works fine.
