Problem with ESP-WROOM-32 and WiFi

Postby stefanoxjx » Mon Feb 12, 2018 6:37 pm

Hi, I'm studying ESP-WROOM-32 and I've a problem with all programs that needs of WiFi.
I'm use esp-idf and I tried to upload all examples that needs of wifi (/esp-idf/examples/wifi) and all have the same problem.
If I try to use for example blink or hello_world (/esp-idf/examples/get-started), them works fine.
When I turn on the module after uploaded the program, trough the serial monitor I see these messages recursively:

Can you help me?
Many thanks.

What hardware are you using? Are you sure the ESP32 gets enough power? At least 500mA is recommended.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I'm using this module:

and powering by supplier 3.3V 5A.
I tried to use another power supply, but the problem still present.
I placed too a capacitor 330uF.

Problems like this usually happen when the power supply isn't good enough; the WiFi calibration will cause the module to brown out and reset. Where did you put the 330uF capacitor? If it's too far away from the Wroom32, the brown-out may still happen. If you have an oscilloscope, you may also want to put that on the 3.3V input pads of the WROOM32 and trigger on, say, 3.0V, to see if the module really doesn't brown out.

Hi,
The 330uF capacitor were applied after I've seen the problem.
I've solved this problem changing esp module.
With another module the problem there isn't.
