UDP broadcast (sent callback not getting called)

[Richard]

I am trying to use the esp8266 in soft ap mode to talk to another in station mode via a udp broadcast but several problems exist.

The esp8266 boards are close to each other so signal strength should not be an issue.

1] I am getting a large number of udp packets that are not being transmitted(90%). I am sending a packet every 300mS.
This is verified by what is received by the second esp8266 and also via a monitoring app on an ipad.

2) I do not get a call back when the packets are sent despite registering the callback. The receive callback does function.

Please can you advise if this is a bug in the RTOS firmware that I am using.
If not, can you advise how to debug this.
I have included the printout from the bootup sequence which shows the firmware and hardware versions.


Regards
Richard

1. Maybe you can try to put the ESP8266 board a little far from each other, 2m should be a suitable distance.
2. Maybe you can try with the latest version of RTOS. https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RT ... ls/sockets
