ESP32 S2 and Wifi = AC code sending interrupted

[Insomniac80]

Version/revision of the library used is 2.8.6

I have two IR leds in a row driven by a transistor to remote control my Technibel (rebranded) Air Conditioner. ESP32 is a S2 mini. Changing a sample code accordingly works fine, every command is recognized by the AC.

But as soon as I add also some WLan functionality (cannot post the code here as it is my multi class MQTT / WLan lib I use for all controllers) most IR codes I send are not recognized by the AC. My wlan code is fully single task written, sending cannot be interrupted by it. The cause must be under the hood.

Have now switched wo a D1 Mini ESP32 (dual core) with the same code (compiled for the new chip for sure) and using the same circuit, and now also with Wifi every command is accepted by the AC. Works like a charm.

My guess is that the single core of the S2 is having problems, and wlan (even If nothing is recived) interrupts most of the IR output, at least when sending longer sequences as the ones of the Technibel ACs. Just wanted to mention it here, just for the case someone also thinks about using a S2 for it.

Btw, I was really impressed to directly find code for my AC which is so super easy to use and great documented! Thank you for this awesome library!
