ESP8266 Community Forum

The questions seem to be:
1- why does it crash & reset?
2- why does it fail to connect after reset?

#1 is most likely the program, but could also be from the usual suspects - power that's not stiff enough, interference. Capacitors and pullups are the first line of defense

#2 is interesting. If you're in AP mode, then what network info is required?

I've had ESPs running as stations and clients for over a week with zero resets, but not doing as much as yours is.

It seems I found a problem. At least when I disconnected USB-Serial adapter (used for flashing an logging) it worked well whole night in AP mode.
Although there's some insignificant packet loss (1 packet once in a while).
I'll do the same test in Client mode next night.

Hi Adamsdad,

Sorry for asking, did you had any progres so far? I also ordered the same board like yours and now I am currios about such issues.

Thanks.

Hi Adamsdad,

I'm agree with you. During the last 1,5 year I've worked a lot with this device (5 esp-01 and two esp7). In my opinion this device has not still reached the right maturity. It's very hard to find the right hardware configuration for sketch download and firmware upgrade. Also from the stability point of view there are still big problems. Ok the price is very low so you can accept all these issues. May be in the next future will be avaible more friendly and stable device.
