Jarolift Dongle - 404: Not Found

[Muskelbiber1]

Hi, I completed the setup and am now at the point of starting the dongle and connecting via Wi-Fi.
I followed the manual step by step, and the LED is blinking.

I can see and connect to the dongle, but when I try to reach 192.168.4.1, the browser shows me a 404: Not Found error.

The only thing I did differently compared to the manual is the step regarding "SPIFFS":

When I change "Flash size," the only option available is: "4MB (FS:1MB OTA: ~1019KB)" instead of "4M (1M SPIFFS)."
After flashing, when I try to use "ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload," I get the error: "SPIFFS Error: esptool not found."

I’ve already reinstalled everything twice with different Arduino versions (1.x and 2.x), but the issue persists.

There are any ideas?

I encounter another problem after this step but in fact your problem comes from the fact that upload SPIFFS does not work.

try to extract and use this, it is to put in the directory Arduino/tools/
Normally this directory is in Documents by default
ESP8266FS.zip

I am interested in your feedback if in the web interface you can configure wifi...

Awesome, it works! Thanks!
Now I found another problem, My SSID owns a "&" like "A&B"
When I want to save my SSID, it only save the "A" and the rest is gone.
Do you have an idea how to fix that?

I already found issue #65 but I dont understand correctly what to do :/
