ESP32 goes into a boot loop when connecting to wifi

Postby DGaming » Thu Dec 21, 2023 4:07 pm

so i was trying to make a home project, but when i uploaded this in my opinion working code the esp went into this boot loop
17:03:51.299 -> ets Jun 8 2016 00:22:57
17:03:51.299 ->
17:03:51.299 -> rst:0x8 (TG1WDT_SYS_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
17:03:51.299 -> configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
17:03:51.299 -> clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
17:03:51.299 -> mode:DIO, clock div:1
17:03:51.299 -> load:0x3fff0030,len:1344
17:03:51.299 -> load:0x40078000,len:13964
17:03:51.299 -> load:0x40080400,len:3600
17:03:51.299 -> entry 0x400805f0
17:03:52.674 -> Connecting to WiFi...
17:03:53.682 -> Connecting to WiFi...
17:03:54.673 -> Connecting to WiFi...
17:03:54.673 -> Connected to WiFi

nothing is yet connected to the esp
the esp is powered by my pc but i tried another power supply, stil nothing
any help would be great

Re: ESP32 goes into a boot loop when connecting to wifi

You say boot loop, but your output shows the WiFi looping, not the system.
Boot loops during wifi initialization are 99.9% caused by power issues. This is typically an underpowered LDO on board, but can also be insufficient capacitance (the power draw goes from ~100mA to 500mA, which causes the voltage on the rail to drop). You need a power supply rated for 800mA. Is this a dev board or custom?
