Hi there, I have the Cytron Shield-ESP-Wifi REV 2.0. But,I saw all the sample requires a hotspot. Is it possible to make the board to host it own AP and by using a smartphone to connect to it? Thanks.

Hi,

Example WiFISoftAP is what you need. In the sketch, you just define your own SSID and password, and use mobile phone to connect to this SSID. Then open browser on your mobile phone and enter 192.168.4.1.

May be you can try different SSID and password? Try simple SSID name with password (at least 6 characters) and see how it goes.
