No WiFi access point created after starting in config mode

[terrag42]

Hello, I am having trouble seeing the SSID that the ESP is supposed to create when starting in config mode. For testing, the only sensor I have connected is a DHT11, no MQ-2 or DS18B20.

Here's what my serial monitor reports after I reset the ESP:

Init started.
Chip ID: 16575886
Flash chip ID:1261807
[47] Config loaded from EEPROM.
Config Mode enabled.
Access point created:
SSID: ESP8266-16575886
Password: ESP1261807
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Web server started.
Init completed.
[2774] sensor values: DHT T = 21.00 RH = 36.00 OneWire(0) T = 0.00 MQ2 AI = 1024.00
[5273] sensor values: DHT T = 21.00 RH = 36.00 OneWire(0) T = 0.00 MQ2 AI = 1024.00 .....

Is there something I can do to make the new access point show up?

Never mind, the access point was created just fine after power cycling a few times. Thank you.

Hello,

It seems that there was an issue with WiFi.softAP function in ESP8266 core for Arduino. If the problem persists please make sure you have the corresponding version of ESP8266 libraries.

You may also add the following line after Serial.begin:
Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
This will enable diagnostic output from WiFi libraries.

Regards,
Nick
