No AP appears

[sergey1945]

I just bought the KS868 A6 board and successfully flashed the firmware according to the instructions. However, after reconnecting the power, I can't detect the Wi-Fi access point. When power is applied, the red LED near the power connector lights up, and all relays click. No other activity on the board. Tried firmware KCS_KC868_A6_V2.2.13 and KCS_KC868_A6_V2.2.14. My board arrived in a very dented package, so I'm concerned about the Wi-Fi module. Is there any way to diagnose the Wi-Fi module? Could this issue be related to me temporarily using a DC 12V 1A?

can you take photo , how you wire your board.
usually we suggest use DC12V 2A power supply.

Plugged the board into a 2A DC adapter, but the hotspot didn’t show up.

because you have not downloaded firmware, you have not selected first row. see my photo step3: enable item.

Oops, my bad—missed that line. Always double-check the instructions! Thanks for saving me!

Title:  KC868-A6 SoftAP Web Server using Flowcode - Getting

Code:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Body: Hello KinCony Team and Community,
I am working with the KC868-A6 board (ESP32 version) using Flowcode 11. My goal is to set up the board as a standalone Wi-Fi Access Point (SoftAP) to control the 6 relays via a local web browser interface (

Code:

192.168.4.1

).
The Problem: Although the ESP32 successfully creates and broadcasts the Wi-Fi Access Point (and my phone/PC connects to it without issues), whenever I try to open

Code:

[http://192.168.4.1](http://192.168.4.1)

in the browser, it immediately fails with

Code:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

.
My Current Logic Structure in Flowcode:

1. Code:

   PCF8574::Initialise()
2. Code:

   WLAN_ESP32::Initialise()
3. Code:

   WLAN_ESP32::CreateAccessPoint("AHMED-KC868-A6", "12345678", 1, 3)
4. Code:

   6 seconds delay
5. Code:

   WLAN_ESP32::SocketListen(80)
6. Inside
   
   Code:

   Loop forever

   • Code:

     WLAN_ESP32::SocketRead(...)
   • Checking HTTP GET requests (
     
     Code:

     /r1/on
     ,
     
     Code:

     /r1/off
     , etc.) and updating
     
     Code:

     PCF8574::WritePort
   • Code:

     SocketWrite
     (HTTP 200 OK header & HTML chunks)
     
   • Code:

     WLAN_ESP32::SocketClose()
   • Code:

     WLAN_ESP32::AcceptClose()
   • Code:

     WLAN_ESP32::AcceptOpen()
   • Code:

     100 ms delay

My Question: What is the correct macro sequence and logic in Flowcode to properly handle incoming HTTP connections on port 80 for the KC868-A6? Why is the browser getting a "Connection Refused" error even though the socket is listening and AP is active?
Any example flowchart or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

you can download with KCS v2 firmware firstly.
here is KCS v2 online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html
