Nice! Now I don't have to set mine up with an ESP 'cos you're doing the testing for me. :) There'll be a new issue of the Backpack manual very soon. I've covered the display backlight in more depth, and more detail about the sounder. There are a few more tweaks here and there too, but nothing about the ESP.

Sweet, Mike. Picomite plus Annex looks like a winning combination. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

(To be perfectly honest, I've no idea whatsoever how to use an ESP8266 and only a vague idea what it does! I included a connector for it because it seemed like a good idea at the time and might allow for wireless control systems, possibly home automation.)

I use a lot of them to monitor sensors for weather , temperatures solar power etc. Mostly I use them flashed with ESPeasy which is extreamly reliable I then send the data via UDP packets. Annex has become quite mature now and especially using an ESP32 instead of the 8266 version would give some enhanced features due to far greater speed and ram memory available , larger json downloads come to mind , processed in the ESP and the required fields just sent to mmbasic . MQTT is another area where the ESP can send data derived picomite for example to a broker on your network (eg rasp pi) for storage and visualisation.

I saw that some people seem to have had problems in reliability (missing characters etc.) using UDP on connections to/from the ESP8266-01. Have you come across that? Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Mick, I can honestly say that I have not experienced that problem. I have six units transmitting via UDP (some sending HTTP messages as well) plus another 3 receiving and transmitting UDP packets. For the ones transmitting only, sensor data, I use ESPeasy and ones running code I use annex. Most of the Espeasy modules are being fed from micromites. Mike Codenquilts |

I can also say that with multiple-times-a-day UDP messages from various ESPs running Annex I have not noted missing characters. PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
