AT+CWSMARTSTART not working

[esp03madness]

Hi, I am trying to get smartconfig working on an ESP-03. I've built the latest android app from the github repository. I am using AT 0.50 (sdk 1.4.0).

When I do AT+CWSMARTSTART (already in station mode), and then use the app all I see in the debug UART is:

Code: Select all

smartconfig type:ESPTOUCH

It never goes any further.

However, if I build the SmartConfig example (sdk 1.4.0) then everything works as expected.
What can be the problem?

Hi,

Please use Espressif official Flash download tool to burn the bin files into Flash.

If your problem is still unsolved, please provide the captured picture of Espressif Flash download tool while downloading.

Thanks for your interest in ESP8266 !

Thank you so much! That totally worked.

What does the "ESP FLASH DOWNLOAD TOOL" do differently than "esptool.py"? Does it have something to do with the RF parameters?
