This is great, seems to have fixed all of the ESP-STM comms issues I was having before with my zombie.

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter
I remember seeing somewhere that most of the problems are from the communication speed not matching between the ESP and the STM? Where do I set this in the ESP code? or tools? And to what number?

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter
I'm not too sure but you can try this:
In the esp8266-web-interface.ino file of the esp8266-web-interface channel can to be "declared"
WiFi.softAP(server.arg("apSSID").c_str(), server.arg("apPW").c_str());
The syntax is
SSID, Password, Channel, Hidden?

One of the biggest problem I have ever had with wifi on Zom and other OI boards is if there is another accesspoint or wifi source in the vicinity on the same channel. You can test this with a wifi scanner app.

Re: 1-Communication problem between esp and stm (intermittent, now 99% of time) and 2-Cannot map CAN signals
I am dealing with these issues as well. It seems there is a problem with the stream from the STM to the ESP not staying consistent. I have tried 2 different ESP82 chips so far and 1 is better but neither work good enough for me to trust it.

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter
Ok to make sure I am clear. I have mine working but it has issues. It works for a bit then gives the warning "connection problem between ESP and STM." I guess this is more likely a problem with RX and TX? Seems a LOT of people are having this problem.

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter
I had an ST-Link (believe it was a clone), but was able to reflash the Zombieverter. Took a bit of finagling, but it's all good, connecting and showing the latest 2.30 update.
Thank Gawd! Now it's time for some serious parameter settings.
