I have NodeMCU ESP32S V1.1 Module (ESP WROOM32) and the advertising range is less than 40cm's how can I fix that?

iOS Version: 18.1

Hi buiscuitaep,

I do not have that exact model, so I'm not sure I can be of too much help. It seems like the max power level for your chip might be ESP_PWR_LVL_N12 .

Can you change this line:

EvilAppleJuice-ESP32/src/main.cpp

Line 19 in 28d6be6

#define MAX_TX_POWER ESP_PWR_LVL_P9 // Default

to ESP_PWR_LVL_N12 , and see if that helps?

Now it isnt working, isnt P9 best value?

I'm not too sure about your specific device.

I can recommend purchasing a ESP32C3, which is what I've tested with and performs well in my experience.

Ok Ty, Also when I select long range devices (short like appletv) nothing happens why do you know?

Do you mean AppleTV is an example of the device where "nothing happens", or AppleTV is a "short device"?
