esp-link never works after first poweroff
Posted: Sun May 01, 2016 10:38 pmHi,
I've got a SparkFun ESP8266 "Thing" that I'm running esp-link on. If I flash it with esp-link (I've tried both 2.1.7 and 2.2.2. beta's 0,1,2) then it works great. I can reach the built in web server, I can configure the pins, I can talk serial perfectly EVERYTHING works that I've tested.
However, each and every time I remove power, nothing works any more. If I configure it into AP mode and change the AP name, the new AP shows up for about 5-10 seconds, but I'm unable to connect to it. I tried increasing max number of stations, no dice. If I configure it to STA mode, it never re-connects to my home wifi that I can tell.
If I flash it again, it all works great... until I poweroff and power on... this is VERY repeatable.
There is a switch on the Sparkfun board for power. I've tried using the switch, removing usb power, different combos utilizing the LiPo battery option, all the same result.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
