Unless they fixed it, make sure to set the connection timeout property in the library because by default it's 0 seconds. Yes, 0. So if it doesn't connect immediately to your network, it just goes right back to the manager and can be a real pain if this is module is installed in a hard to get to location. I usually set it to 30 seconds and that seems to work every time.

Thank you for making this. I'm trying to learn code and there's a lot of choices in tutorials, but not many in native clearly spoken English. Your shop is an American Dream it looks to be. Most of the video was exactly what I needed so I'll be back for more. Where I got lost and your explanations sped up was when it came to the JSON and SPIFFS file and config setup and saving. However, I learned much of what I needed for a basic temp sensor I'm building several of. I've used the WifiManager when I got into all of this building many WLED controllers, but it was all prebuilt and finally I hit the button in my life where it was time to get down to understaniding and compiling my own code for projects I build for work and for fun. I'm going to see what else you have to offer on here and wondered if you use any other platforms to..... well basically show off your skills with a almost complete workshop like yours.

@ArneSkov Жыл бұрын
The weak point for distributing ESP32 / ESP8266 solutions is the need of reading the serial connection. We include an ip for our network connected SMS Gateway and in the config screen we have a field for phone number. When connected the first time we use the internet for sending an SMS to the owners own phone containing the local ip, he should connect to. We've coded the SMS gateway for Android and the ESP-owner could install this on his own (android-)phone and not even have to have contact to our SMS Gateway. In this way no computer and no Arduino IDE is needed - only a powerbank or a power supply.

I had two NodeMCU from LoLin v3. One was partially working , other was not at all. The working got ok after trying different binaries. I then compared the voltages at the pins of the two and found that D4 pin was not getting low as it should be when flash button was pressed. Found that one the transistors pin was showing was short. There was no voltage at the pin of the flash button to make it low when pressed (grounded). It is almost impossible to repair it as the prints are masked and it is double sided pcb. I had spend a couple of days trying hard to find the solution , thinking it to be a software issue. the lesson is some of these board could be faulty.

Hi, and thanks for a great video. I'd been considering writing my own WiFi configuration tool via BT, or by starting with WiFi mode as AP. In the WiFiManager On-Demand sketch (about 23 min into the video), how would it behave if you left the wm.resetSettings() commented-out in line 22? The point of the sketch is to configure the WiFi settings, so what difference does it make if existing settings are reset or not? Would this still work if resetSettings() was NOT called?
