I tried the following code, but there is no hotspot or access point shown when i upload it to my esp8266.
Does somebody know why?

Code:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> //https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

//needed for library
#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h> //https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);

//WiFiManager
//Local intialization. Once its business is done, there is no need to keep it around
WiFiManager wifiManager;
//reset saved settings
//wifiManager.resetSettings();

//set custom ip for portal
//wifiManager.setAPStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));

//fetches ssid and pass from eeprom and tries to connect
//if it does not connect it starts an access point with the specified name
//here  "AutoConnectAP"
//and goes into a blocking loop awaiting configuration
wifiManager.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP");
//or use this for auto generated name ESP + ChipID
//wifiManager.autoConnect();


//if you get here you have connected to the WiFi
Serial.println("connected...yeey :)");

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

I am pretty new to this. Uploaded the precompiled bin to my Amica NodeMCU v2 https://blog.christophermullins.com/2017/02/11/milight-wifi-gateway-emulator-on-an-esp8266/

LED is blinking every second, but not seeing the ESPXXXX SSID on any device. Thoughts?
