- Wed Apr 14, 2021 4:04 am #91100 Hello everyone!

I have ESP-01 board connected as STA MODE (station) to the router WIFI (access point).
I found interesting library in the internet (settimino.h) allow us to connection ESP and PLC.
I have S7-1200 connected to this router via ethernet cable with accessible option PUT-GET communication enabled on the PLC side.
When the ESP try to call DB read function, then ESP reset. I don't know why. Had somebody the same problems?

I presented all code below and some screens from the ESP debugger. What is the problem?!

Code: Select all/*
  ESP8266 Blink by Simon Peter
  Blink the blue LED on the ESP-01 module
  This example code is in the public domain

  The blue LED on the ESP-01 module is connected to GPIO1
  (which is also the TXD pin; so we cannot use Serial.print() at the same time)

  Note that this sketch uses LED_BUILTIN to find the pin with the internal LED
