[0x1abin]

On the latest commit version, I upload the ESPNow Basic example and running master and slave on two devices, the Master can't find the Slave.

But I checkout to #669 it can work.

Can you try running python esptool.py erase_flash on all the devices. Then put the new version back on and test. There may be a difference in the nvs data b/w the esp-idf codebases.

I erase flash, but it not work, does anyone have the same problem?

[eg-astrouka]

I have the same problem also. And I'm sure I had Client-Master communication working a few months ago. Now I have Master working only first time I flash new board with working firmware. It stops working after reflash/restart.

Update: erase_flash on Master helps only once

[appie2002]

I have the same problem. Master only works the first time and after reboot it gives the same error.

you need to add WiFi.disconnect(); in the first line into the void InitESPNow() { then it will work.

[eg-astrouka]

@Mahmoudomar91 thanks, it works

[lbernstone]

@0x1abin : Can you confirm the disconnect fixes this for you as well? I'll put in a pull request with the change if so.

[Mahmoudomar91]

@lbernstone yes i tested it on my ESP32 and it worked.
but i don't know what is pull request, i am new to github

[0x1abin]

@lbernstone Yes, I add WiFi.disconnect() and it works!
Thank you!
