<h2>Tips & Troubleshooting</h2>
|

<div class="Row v">

|
<ul>
|
|
<li>*Communication UART (Rx, Tx)* can be configured in the <a href="<?= url('cfg_system') ?>">System Settings</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>*Boot log and debug messages* are available on pin *GPIO2* (P2) at 115200\,baud, 1 stop bit, no parity.
|
|
Those messages may be disabled through compile flags.
|
|
|
|
<li>*Loopback test*: Connect the Rx and Tx pins with a piece of wire. Anything you type in the browser should
|
|
appear on the screen. Set _Parser Timeout = 0_ in <a href="<?= url('cfg_term') ?>">Terminal Settings</a>
|
|
to be able to manually enter escape sequences.
|
|
|
|
<li>There is very little RAM available to the webserver, and it can support at most 4 connections at the same time.
|
|
Each terminal session (open window with the terminal screen) uses one persistent connection for screen updates.
|
|
*Avoid leaving unused windows open*, or either the RAM or connections may be exhausted.
|
|
|
|
<li>*For best performance*, use the module in Client mode (connected to external network) and minimize the number
|
|
of simultaneous connections. Enabling AP consumes extra RAM because the DHCP server and Captive Portal
|
|
DNS server are started.
|
|
|
|
<li>In AP mode, *check that the WiFi channel used is clear*; interference may cause flaky connection.
|
|
A good mobile app to use for this is
|
|
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer">WiFi Analyzer (Google Play)</a>.
|
|
Adjust the hotspot strength and range using the _Tx Power setting_.
|
|
|
|
<li>Hold the BOOT button (GPIO0 to GND) for ~1 second to force enable AP. Hold it for ~6 seconds to restore default settings.
|
|
(This is indicated by the blue LED rapidly flashing). Default settings can be overwritten in the
|
|
<a href="<?= url('cfg_system') ?>">System Settings</a>.
