WIFI (ESP8266) not found! If the problem persist, you may need to flash your ESP to firmware 2.2.1

Hello,

I always get this problem at sunray mower. How can I change to ESP32 because in manual there is instruction that ESP32 is better then ESP8266.
Maybe someone can help me?

Thank you!

Ah Thank you very much. Now it works
Then this text "WIFI (ESP8266) not found! If the problem persist, you may need to flash your ESP to firmware 2.2.1105" is legacy and not relevant for ESP32, am I right?

In the config_example.h you find this comment: Add board "esp32" (IMPORTANT!!! choose v1.0.4, latest v1.0.6 does not seem to connect to WiFi access point! )

Use only the firmware 1.0.04 for the ESP32.

I cannot see anything about "esp32". There is just esp8266. (in sunray project)
Could you please explain in which version you find this comment?

look here: Sunray/config_example.h at master · Ardumower/Sunray · GitHub

Yeah I agree, but here you can still see something about ESP8266 which is a litte bit confusing in my opinion. Would be great if there is a hint: "if you use esp32, disregard this configuration with ESP8266".

Yes ist is confusing, because two ESP Moduls but in diffrent configs. If you use the ES8266, then you have to insert SSID and password in the config_h. But if you use the ESP32 then you have to use the config_example.h in the esp32_ble folder.

Apropos, auf Deutsch geht es bei mir einfacher...
