Hi,
Good Day!
I have used your ESPAsyncWebSrv example to write to EEPROM instead of SPIFFS.
The webpage has six inputs; it stops working when I enter the sixth value. But when I re-boot the ESP32, the web page was accessible, and the sixth value had been accepted and written to the EEPROM. So I cannot understand why it crashes when it accepts the value and writes to EEPROM.
Hardware Beetle ESP32.
I am attaching my test code with this.
Thanks
Johan

Hi.
Do you get any errors on the Serial Monitor, when you enter the sixth parameter?
Regards,
Sara
Johan Romuald answered 3 months ago
Hi Sara,
Good Day!
No errors in the serial monitor. Soft AP still works, and I can ping the ESP32, but the web server fails until I reboot.
Best regards
Johan
Johan Romuald answered 3 months ago
Hi Sara,
I fixed it.
No problem with the web server. I had all wrong in the “writeStringToEEPROM” function, and further in the “readStringFromEEPROM” function, I coded a NULL check before returning the value—both fixed issues.
Thanks once again.
Best regards
Johan

Great.
I’m glad you solved the issue. Thanks for the follow-up.
I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.

Sara
