I am attempting to flash an ESP32 with "Annex_Package_32_1.38_rc5.zip" but can't get to the editor stage. I chose this version because it is the only one that specifically refers to the ESP32 at:
https://sites.google.com/site/annexwifi/downloads
Annex+32 Toolkit (V1.09) runs okay on my Windows PC and successfully flashes the ESP32.
Clicking on "IP Scan" finds the assigned IP address (192.168.43.132). NB I am using a mobile phone WiFi hot spot.
To progress any further I had to click on "Start OTA Server".
This is clearly not the path to the html editor.
I read in this Forum that release 1.44.2 for ESP32 is available.
It is not listed here:

Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Allan

Re: Problem with Annex+32 Toolkit (V1.09)
Good morning Francesco,
hope all is fine at your side in France at the present time.
I did interpret this and some former questions to aim at a dedicated download site for the present / latest ANNEX-package.
The versions and update files are a bit hidden in the forum posts for people just trying to find the latest version.

Hi cicciocb,
I had already tried your suggestions before you replied.
Both http://192.168.43.132 and http://192.168.43.132/editor result in the following browser error:

Re: Problem with Annex+32 Toolkit (V1.09)
Allan, just checking . .
When you were flashing the ESP32, you did put in the address to be assigned to the ESP32 in the 'network address' box, did you?
I have had problems in the past connecting when I was away from home and using a mobile as a hot spot so another way to approach it is to not assign an address when you're flashing the ESP32 and allow it to create its own hotspot at 192.168.4.1 then point your PC browser at that. You can then set up your desired address on the config page. You may need to create a secondary IP for the PC (e.g. 192.168.4.10) for it to connect.
Once you're up and running you can find the latest Annex versions here : [Local Link Removed for Guests]
Download the .bin files and overwrite the old versions in the Build directory of where you installed the toolkit. You can then either reflash over serial using the 'firmware only' option from the toolkit or use the OTA method from the ESP32, with the toolkit running the OTA server.

Re: Problem with Annex+32 Toolkit (V1.09)
Just noticed . . . You're runnning an old version of the Toolkit.
Before you do anything, uninstall 1.09 and download the full package from here : [Local Link Removed for Guests]
(Yes, I know 1.09 is higher than 0.9b, but believe me, it's the right one
)
Then download and copy the updated .bin files to the Build directory and you'll be up to date.

Re: Problem with Annex+32 Toolkit (V1.09)
OTA is not relevant if booting a device serially.
The sure way to know if the device has been flashed correctly serially is to connect using the Serial Monitor before flashing.
The serial monitor will become dis-connected during the actual flashing, but it will re-connect again immediately after flashing is completed, so will display all the serial bootup messages, including the device IP address.
The sure way to connect to a device is to short out TX to RX so that it boots to the default 192.168.4.1 allowing you to connect directly to http://192.168.4.1/ without needing any router or subnet. Remember to remove the TX/RX link after bootup.

the
ESP32-S2 must be flashed using the [Local Link Removed for Guests]
About the ESP32-PICO, it is already supported but what is exactly your module?
