Sketch

Cannot reproduce outside of larger sketch

What in the world would cause this ?

[tablatronix]

my board also get in a persistent mode AP+STA, and no matter what i do i a sketch to remove the AP, doesn't work.

set_config failed!
always , I am guessing this is the problem.

    	WiFi.persistent(true);
    	WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
    	WiFi.softAPdisconnect(true);
    	WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

reboot, printDiag still mode STA+AP
driving me insane.

I guess Ill throw master on here and see if its fixed

looks like the only way I got it to work so far was to make it AP only, the disconnect still returns false, and says failed but it works,

    ETS_UART_INTR_DISABLE();
    ret =  wifi_set_opmode_current(WIFI_AP);
    ETS_UART_INTR_ENABLE();
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); // turns sta back on

any clue why?

Figuring sta causes issues with ap I tried wifi_station_disconnect and turning off autoreconnect policy also to no avail.

I just realized begin() does touch ap flash via the #1997 workaround
wifi_station_ap_number_set , I wonder if this causes a problem with some kind of mismatch

@tablatronix is this still an issue with latest git? To be honest, I don't fully understand your problem description.

[tablatronix]

Ill check again, I have been waiting for rc1

[devyte]

@tablatronix rc2 is out. Have you tested if this is still valid?

[tablatronix]

Sorry I have not, let me install master real quick

[tablatronix]

I have some example sketches and a bug with apdisconnect failing also now in rc2 I will post them tomorrow.
