Hello I read

and so I put WiFi.disconnect(); this before esp_now_init but it chrases after Serial.println(“ESPnow Before 222 !!! —”);
any idear how to solve this ???

If it crashes, are you able to decode the crash log wih

build_type = debug
monitor_filters = espressif8266_exception_decoder

in the platformio.ini (+ Reupload + monitor)?

ESPnow Before 222 !!! —

That is what Serial Debug tells me.

My bad, this of course has to be esp32_exception_decoder

5

But it is a ESP32-S3 System
I changed it to
monitor_filters = espressif32_exception_decoder
is that OK

6

Oh I forgot
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

So this works


void setup(void)
{

    Serial.begin(115200);

    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

    WiFi.disconnect();
     Serial.println("ESPnow Before 222 !!!!  ---");
    if (esp_now_init() != ESP_OK) {
    Serial.println("Error initializing ESP-NOW");
    return;
    }
    Serial.println("ESPnowInit OK");
    esp_now_register_recv_cb(OnDataRecv);
    delay(3000);
     }

Thank you Max, could you if you read this tell me how often can I flash a ESP32 ESP32-S until it’s not useable anymore Merry Christmas to everyone
