I have 5 WLED installations on my bicycle (front wheel, frame, back wheel, backpack, and helmet) and based on experience and research found that they all will not communicate together (bike frame WLED ESP32 acting as AP) due to the apparent default Max number of Wi-Fi connections set in the Arudino …

Jackpot! Thanks for guiding the way, @akriss . I was able to connect my front wheel, bike frame, rear wheel, helmet, backpack and phone through the bike frame running my custom compiled version ESP32_4MB_S. So yeah, I forked a copy of framework-arduinoespressif32 v1.6.5 from Aircookie’s GitHub and…

I’ve not tried this. But I looks like the info your after. [image] I want to connect 50 ESP8266 in AP-Mode Questions Here’s the code in WiFiAP.h that has to be modified: class WiFiAPClass { // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------…

Thanks. I saw that and thought that was more so if compiling via Arduino IDE. Obviously, I don’t have any experience in PlatformIO or GitHub workflows to know where to find it there and how to implement.

There is a good Wiki page on compiling Wled: Compiling WLED - WLED Project That should help. Then it just a matter of looking for that file to edit in the source code. The source code is available here: Releases · Aircoookie/WLED · GitHub

I want to connect 50 ESP8266 in AP-Mode max_connection = I can’t find a WiFiAP.h file in the source code ZIP.

hmmm. I cant seem to see that file in the source ether. Like I said before, “I’ve not tried this”. So sorry for the miss lead. Maybe ask the folks I the other thread what the heck there talking about. Because, now I’ve no idea what they were talking about.

Having not liking the feeling of being defeated. I’ve looked for that file else where. And have found it. The file is part of the arduino-esp32 library. And on my system I located it at "C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\1.0.6\libraries\WiFi\src Hope this…

I think we are getting closer. That looks like the library folder for Arduino IDE though. Do you have it installed? Based on the Plaformio.ini file, I see linkage to the arduino-esp32 library and see the WifiAP.h within the zip file. Just have to figure out how VSC/PlatformIO downloads, stores, an…

Darn. Yes that is from Arduino IDE. I don’t know / not sure, but there must be a way to have the library stored locally, possibly within the Wled directory. perhaps the “include” or “lib” directory. In those directory’s there are readme’s that might have some clues to add a custom library. I’m …

Hi, I have an ESP32-C3-WROOM-02U and I’m trying to connect 13 different WLED installation to a main one, I followed all instruction from previous @Piff posts but still doesn’t work. In platformio.ini I pointed the platform_packages under [esp32] to my custom github repository and I was able to comp…

Hi. To make sure it is pulling from your github, change the url to something like notthegithub.com/xxxxx and to make sure the compile fails. Does the ESP32 how enough power to support 13 connections? This is mine. Feel free to use it, but it was only set to 8. platform_packages = framework-arduin…
