Constant resets after second upload.

Arduino IDE 1.8.4
on a Wemos D1 R2

Library compiles and works as expected, configuration via 'AlertMe Configuration' AP with scanning is smooth (and is a fantastic feature!) and I am receiving the emails/texts just fine. The issue comes if I modify the Arduino sketch and re-upload...this causes the board to go into a (seemingly) endless cycle of resets. Power cycling doesn't fix it, nor does uploading the example sketch, nor does shorting the config_pin (which I defined as D6 on the Wemos).

What does reliably work is to upload an empty SPIFFS image and then re-upload the sketch.

Once things go pear-shaped, this is what I see in the serial monitor:

I will have a different ESP8266 board soon to test against. I'll let you know if it produces different results.

loading smtp port and server

Is there a way to load the smtp port and server information without having to do it through the AP? I am developing a board for automating a daily function and if something goes wrong with the equipment I would like to send a SMS and your library is exactly what I am looking for. I just don't want to incorporate the AP function. I am going to have all of the details of my machine set up in a web page, including the local wifi set-up and I would include all of the information you require, I save it to eprom for safety.

Thanks

Can't get it to work with default settings

I tried it with my own smtp info, no luck. I could not connect to my smtp.

Next, I created a gmail email address, set less security access, rebooted, etc. I used the default gmail settings. Altered the program with my email and sms info. Wemos D1 would mount the SPIFFS file (all data read correctly), connect to my WiFi network, and fail to connect to smtp.

I just go round and round back to the config AP. Cannot connect to smtp. Am I missing something?

AlertMe Configuration has password

Hello, it seems after the first time I configure the device and power cycle it, there is a password set on the access point. Can anyone help me understand what this password is so I can gain access again?

example doesn't seem to use the config pin properly

in line 66 of the example, you have
if(config_pin == LOW){ // Short pin to GND for config AP
now shouldn't that be
if (DigitalRead(config_pin)==LOW){

?

URL redirection is corrupted

Everytime I connect to the AP it redirects me to http://smtp.gmail.com192.168.4.1/.
Even if I try to enter the IP manually.

Debug lines:

Any idea how to resolve it?
