Cant figure out how to get SensESP working and connected to a NODEMCU ESPWROM-32

[Rjn9533]

I am in the process of trying to configue a NODEMCU ESPWROM-32 to remotley send me temp and other data from ny engine bilge to a Raspebery PI5 running Open Plotter. I am struggling with getting the ESP32 setup using MS Visual Code Studio, Platform IO and the SENSESP template. When I upload the first time to the ESP32 and boot it I am looking for the WiFi network named “my-sensesp-project” (my project name is fun4all_test_5) with a password of "thisisfine" and do not see it but there is a new WiFi network named CBC0182224D72893COC76C1D1E6B24D2. I have tried logging into this network with that password but it doesn't work.

I have no idea where to start looking ot fix this. Is there anyone that would walk me through the process of getting my ESP32 programed and working? thanks in advance

Maybe post your code to github so we can look at it? Also, I've found github copilot (integrates nicely with visual studio) does a reasonable job with esp32/arduino debugging and 'coding'. There are also tons of project examples with getting wifi running. I'm no expert, but happy to look at your code as I'll probably learn something... :) Brad SV Perspective

Thanks...... So I am just starting to write my code to set 8 1_wire temp sensors and a could INA-219 connected to monitor voltage and, rudder angle and bilge pump cycles.

The problem is that I cant get the first step on connecting to the ESP32 via the WiFi network as described in the SENSESP staring guide. That has be done before you upload and code and connect to signal K from what I understand.
