Who knows ESP-32?

[Ri22o]

Yea, I have checked it a couple times.

If I scan for networks, should I see the fallback hotspot in the list?

No, because it's not connected. Give me a little bit and I'll see if I can find a spare ESP32 and I'll see if I can get your ymal to load.

I thought the purpose of the fallback hotspot was to connect if it was somewhere it could not connect to the primary network? So it should be displayed if it's not connected. I am just trying to troubleshoot and see if I maybe fried something when soldering the headers on. My thought was if the fallback SSID showed up, then it was working.

Do you have a link to the project you are trying to create?

 

[Ri22o]

No, it's all in my head.

Using this yaml the device will come online, but there is an issue with your captive_portal configuration. I've never used captive portal so I won't be able help you out.

What is the difference between your yaml and mine? It looks practically the same.

Did you use a relay board, or a standalone board?

 

[Ri22o]

I tried your yaml, and it's still offline. Maybe I will nuke it and start over, if that's an option.

I'm using a standalone esp32.

The only difference in the yaml code is the variant.

My brain is starting to hurt. What's the best way to wipe this thing and start over?

Hold the boot button while plugging into usb/powering up then you can flash with a new firmware.

 

[Ri22o]

Well, I just did a stand alone board without any issues. :eyeroll:

It looks like the issue may be with the board I am trying to provision.

I apologize, but my board is outside in a weatherproof box, or I'd gladly give you a rundown of the pins on it.
If you've already successfully flashed it, then you must have jumpered GND and IO01 (I think) to enable flashing.

On the stand alone board, I just plugged it in via USB C and it worked.

For the relay board, I jumped IO0 to GND. I had to use a USB to TTL adapter for this one.

I have another relay board that should be here in the next couple hours. I will see if this one behaves any differently when I try to flash it.

 

[Ri22o]

The new board is here, and I am having no luck with it either.

 

[Ri22o]

This is the USB adapter I am using. From what I have found, I have the dip switches set correctly. If this wasn't communicating to the board, then nothing would work, and the install would fail, right?
