Painless Mesh, and AsyncWebServer, AND SoftAP?
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2022 5:39 pm
I have a mesh set up using the PainlessMesh library, and also a webserver using espAsyncWebServer.
I can connect to the webserver with a router in the path, but I wanted to use the same ESP32 as a softAP (from WiFi.h) for connecting to the webserver.
If I start the the softAP before the mesh, I get an IP returned for it, but the SSID is not broadcast. The Mesh still works.
If I start the softAP after the mesh, the AP SSID is broadcast and connectable, but with the subnet of the mesh, ad the mesh no longer functions.
Is it possible to achieve what I am trying? Cheers all.
