Nice -- were you having the same issue as described above? Did you try the above solution? (Your method is obviously superior; just curious.)

In case it's helpful, I believe this was a bug and is now fixed:

I'm seeing similar -- for me it seems to be triggered when the written flash size exceeds some unknown amount... [edit: nope, but see here for further experiments]

My procedure is either to switch to a smaller project and do a non-debug upload, or erase flash as suggested by the previous poster ...

I'm a beginner, but I thought I would share this in case it helps anyone else that is searching for this info --

I could not start the debugger for my ESP32 board (ESP32-DevKitC-VIE) in VSCode/Platform IO -- I got an error in the debug console. If I directly run ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain ...

^&#$%#, you were right, it was PEBCAK. Well, it was the phone's fault, anyway. :-)

When I connect to the AP the phone says "myesp32net has no internet access - tap for options". I was dismissing that notification because of course there is no internet access -- doesn't matter. The phone stays ...

Thanks for the ideas -- my computer is linux but I'm testing the AP connection with my android phone. (Ping tests using app "pingtools").

Via the STA server I can ping over the shared WLAN (using the phone) to the IP of the STA server and see 80, 8080, whatever it's set to, web pages work fine, etc ...

Thanks! -- there is no response from ping at 192.168.4.1 (it does respond when connected to shared WLAN and pinging to 192.168.3.143). I tried WiFi.setSleep(false); (right after WiFi.begin()) but it had no effect.

Edit to add: doing a port scan (1-9000) on 192.168.3.143 shows 8080 and 8081, doing ...

Hello -- I am trying the demo code found here to create webservers that respond on the STA mode wifi connection, the soft AP, or both.

It seems to work fine: I can connect to the soft AP or my local network, and the terminal output does not show any errors.

When I connect via my local wifi network ...

Ah, Espressif ESP32 Dev Module seems to be the one, judging by the getting started guide here: https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/t ... sting.html

This page seems to be an overview of the ESP32-DevKitC family of products, but the list seems to be of many products that, as far as I can tell (I'm a total beginner) have nothing to do with DevKitC... am I correct? E.g. ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1, ESP32-S3-Korvo-1, all the S series and C series, etc ...
