Gateway won't start in AP mode

[bkenobi]

I am just getting started with the sketch, but it looks like I should just be able to upload it to the ESP and configure once it's started. I am able to load the sketch, compile, and upload to both NodeMCU v3 and Wemos D1 without issue. Once uploaded, the serial monitor does not provide much help.

e sketch, but it looks like I should just be able to upload it to the ESP and configure once it's started. I am able to load the sketch, compile, and upload to both NodeMCU v3 and Wemos D1 without issue. Once uploaded, the serial monitor does not provide much help.

With no router in the area:

Listening at 915 91 MHz

It looks like the ESP is not starting in AP mode and failing to connect to a router. Other than attempting to rewrite code that I'm not overly familiar with, I'm not sure where to go.

It looks like going into AP mode requires uncommenting some lines of code in the wifi_setup function.

Now that that works, I'll have to figure out how to connect to it again to set up the RFM settings and whatnot. It's currently default (915MHz, etc) and needs changing. When I connect to the listed IP, it doesn't go.

Hi,
Look at Issue #2. There is a loop.
Or wait some days since I have uploaded to GitHub. I fixed many bugs.
Also I added a funktion to send from broker to node. And a funktion to get retained messages for the node from the broker (sleeping nodes).
Best regards
