Flowcode11 failed to intialise WiFi

[JohnF]

My test program fails when run on chip but passes in simulator, The program is test yto see if WiFi initialisation has completed successfully
I recieve the below message. when compiled to chip. I am using free version off flowcode 11

Hi Jophn,

PLease can you attach your program and we will investigate what might be causing this.

[JohnF]

The simple program was attached.
It fails at WLan_ESP32::Initiallise. esp32 restarts at this point. Intialise fails. Maybe due to wrong esp32 module being loaded. I have trial version as I am unable to pay with my address with card. Think it may be due to this.

Hi John.
When Ben asks for program, he will be referring to project name.fcfx file.
What would also help is .msg.txt and .fcxlog.txt files.
The reason could be not set properties correctly, some other component interfering, component not up to-date etc.
You can add the files by selecting Full Editor & preview below the text window
.msg.txt is not required for this post as you have copied and pasted it.
For future reference can you highlight all the 'msg.txt then click on code display </> which is just below the subject field.

If you're compiling an ESP32 project for a board with ESP32 then that should be fine. If however you're compiling an ESP32 project for a board with for example an ESP32S3 then that probably won't be fine.

How are you powering the board? could be that the wifi is trying to come online and then not having enough current which is then browning out the circuitry.

If you use a serial monitor then what type of message do you get from the ESP module when it resets?
