ESP Now + ESP Wifi + ESP Mesh -> Is it possible?

[Magnetuz]

Hello everybody!

I am trying the following setup: I have a mesh + wifi running in a group of ESP32 devices. It works properly. I want to debug and trace what is happening in the devices, so I setup up an esp-now configuration to send the logs to an outsider esp32 device that just prints them in a serial port (whatever it receives). When the mesh is running and the wifi is "offline" (no router), the esp-now msgs are sent normally from all the nodes + root. As soon as the wifi goes "online" (router in on), the root stops sending the esp-now messages (even though esp_now_send returns ESP_OK).

Is it possible to use Wifi + Now + Mesh simultaneously?

My project is basically a merge from [https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/t ... fi/espnow] + [https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/t ... unication], with modifications to tx/rx properly my data.

I am using the esp-idf v4.3.1

I've already checked many other pages with different possible solutions that didn't work for me, as below:
- Esp-now and Wifi in the same channel;
- Disable power saving (esp_wifi_set_ps(WIFI_PS_NONE));
- Enable both softAP + STA;


Thanks in advance for any help

Hi kalmesh_S.

I am using the STA to connect to the router. What is your issue?

Sorry, but this issue is not related to this post. As a small help, your problem seems a wrong/incomplete initialization. You should check if you are properly enabling the softAP mode and initializing/configuring the softAP interface, including the wifi configuration and DHCP server. You could go for the IDF/MDF examples and compare to your code.
