ESP01 with 4MB Error

[lumajo]

Hi ,
I have changed the flash memory of an ESP01 from 1M to a 4MB Flash and put "ESP_Easy_mega_20210114_normal_ESP8266_4M1M_VCC.bin" on it.
Now the ESP runs so far but it has the following messages in the log:

WD : Uptime 0 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 26752 WiFiStatus 3 ESPeasy internal wifi status: Conn. IP Init
WD : Uptime 1 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 25768 WiFiStatus 3 ESPeasy internal wifi status: Conn. IP Init
WD : Uptime 2 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 25560 WiFiStatus 3 ESPeasy internal wifi status: Conn. IP Init
and so on every minute.
Any Idea why?
From what I can say it gets an IP and the Web Interface works...it put on since a day and no boot since then.
What does it mean?
Thanks
Joachim

It is just a status update, like a Watchdog.

To explain it:
- Uptime 0 minutes
- ConnectFailures 0 -> Number of reconnects to the network (0 reconnects is excellent)
- FreeMem 26752 Bytes -> Amount of free memory, 26k is also excellent for an ESP8266. With a number of controllers or tasks active you should see somewhere from 10k - 15k free on average.
- WiFiStatus 3 -> A bit cryptic description, explained in the next part
- ESPeasy internal wifi status: Conn. IP Init -> The explanation of the cryptric wifi connection state: Connected & Has an IP address & completed the full network init process


So all-in-all it is just telling you this every minute, very basic status info and also a sign the unit is still working and not hanging.

Oh thanks a lot, so it basically means my swap of flash worked just fine....and I can change a couple more of my ESP01...
I was just wondering, because other units do not show this every minute..

BTW I love the small ESP01, although I have three of them in the garage now for different task.
