I am running the latest Arduino IDE with all board and libraries fully updated. I am programming an esp12E board.
Is it possible to run a webserver, espalexa and elegantOTA all at the same time? I am attempting to do so, but the esp crashes and restarts when I try to access the OTA update page. The standard webserver works fine. So does alexa control. To complicate matters, I also am running a softAP so the user can set up the initial wifi credentials. Here are snipets of my code.
in globals
in void setup()
In void loop()
I believe the problem is that I am trying to start the espalexa.begin and ElegantOTA.begin with (&server). But I am really not sure. The OTA is supposed to have a server.begin() after the elegantOTA.begin(&server), but espalexa says to eliminate that and replace it with espalexa.begin(&server). Is there a way to combine the espalexa and elegantOTA begin commands with the webserver begin? Thank you.
