- Sun Jan 14, 2018 11:08 am #73132 I've been trying to flash the wifi repeater onto my lolin nodemcu.
this project..https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater

I can flash it, but all I get is gibberish in the serial monitor, no matter what port speed. And the blue led flashes very fast, almost steady on.
I have used the arduino ide to compile my own sketch and it flashes fine.

Here are some images from the flashing process..

the first image is after flashing the wifi repeater binaries.
The second images is the serial monitor with the wifi repeater flashed.
the third image is after flashing my sketch showing the serial monitor, and the sketch/board works as expected.

So, I must be doing something incorrect with the wifi repeater.
Does everything look correct in the images?
Is it possible that the board i'm using is incompatible?
Any advice is welcome

thanks everyone

I had seen it in the read me, but I didn't think it applied to my board..it did.

On another note, I may have found an issue with it. You can enter an ip addy with a subnet number higher than 255 and it accepts it. Then It wouldnt reconnect until i reflashed the entire thing again. Should it not accept higher than 255? Or should I just pay closer attention?

for anyone else with the problem, flash this after the 2 bin files from the firmware folder(i had to flash the first 2 and then restart to get the 3rd one to take)
