I have problem with this, I add Blynk library, select ESP8266 esp-12, and I use ESP8266 standalone from here:
ESP8266-ESP-12Standalone-Blynk-101
And I upload it without a problem, then it connect to my WiFi, I saw on serial monitor that is connected and have its own IP adress, I copied auth from email to code ofc.And I start blynk project with one button to for D2-GPIO4, and it wont work.And after that my router got problem and I need to restart it, I thinked that it could be router, I changed new, but same thing.I have 3 of these esp8266s.With every I got the same thing.
Maybe someone know what is the problem?
Thanks in advance
Could you please try if regular examples for WiFi work?
I tried to connect 8 relay channel, and it worked for about 30 seconds, after that it confuse the router on some way, and then I need to restart it, and when I restart it work for about 30 seconds, and then same thing.
it might be actually problem of router - module conflict (and it may be very vendor or hardware specific).
Sometimes such cases are reported, but I don’t think there is an effective way to overcome it, except changing your router or dev. platform to another model…
It’s a pity.
When it comes to wifi and problems I’ve learned there are no certainties in life, and I manage a big wifi network at work (over 500 accessoints). The esp is a very cheap chip which comes with limitations. There is no way to put out a general driver and everybody can make stuff for this thing, so everybody uses a different approach.
If you combine this open platform, which is really good for us tinkerers and blynkers, with consumer level networking hardware, a.k.a. not too expensive routers and such, the chance of making a good combination goes down really fast. I tried to get a simple esp going, but mine disconnects really quick. It could be channel interference, ofcourse it is a radio medium (for example if you have many neighbours with 2.4ghz routers too) or some either interference.
If you have other wifi stuff like phones, laptops etc and they work fine it probably is the combination with your router and the esp working bad.
You might try using a laptop with an Intel wifi card and latest update to setup as ad hoc and try how that goes. You could bridge it with your lan interface so you connect the esp via a laptop. It’s pretty much crucial here that the laptop has a decent wifi card like intel and the latest drivers.
