I have looked at it a few times but am waiting for it to go open source, which is apparently imminent.

Theory is when we know everything but nothing work ...
Practice is when everything work but no one know why ;)

Can send emails directly from esp
Functions for controlling i/o
css styling of gui widgets

and lots of other improvements.

One of our very own TBS members got the DS3231 RTC working on this uint using I2C also. As Mike says, there are quite a few more abilities added. This is getting pretty cool and seems like improvements are added pretty quickly lately.

Back when I started to get the esp8266 working using the uMite and the stock firmware using AT commands, I set up a thingspeak account and was able to send data and view my results on graphs and guages at thingspeak. This was all well and good but with the instability of the esp, I pretty much gave up.

Mike posted a thread on the espbasic forum that shows how to send data to thingspeak using his ported basic for the esp. You should take a look. MUCH EASIER!!!

Now its time to revisit making a killer uMite and esp8266 based weather station using a nice color LCD display... and the fun begins, again!

Thanks Mike and of course Geoff!!!

Jim,

Could you post a direct link to that post please? I drilled down and down at that forum and still didn't find it. It could take a lot of searching for someone not steadily reading that forum or familiar with its organization to find that particular post.

Hi Hank, take a look HERE

He actually integrated it as a command to send and receive. VERY COOL...

Look HERE also.Edited by viscomjim 2015-11-28

I have written a program to download the latest source and scan it for keywords.

Extract the EXE from the attached ZIP and place it anywhere where you have writable permissions. (It creates an INI file in the same folder as the EXE).

The code changes a bit faster than the documentation so I find this helps...

Thanks, Jim

I see the latest code may crash according to a poster at that forum.
Waiting to see what the interpreter author has to say. Still quiet and Thanksgiving is long gone now.

Will be fantastic when the bugs really get shaken all out.

The new flash version has a really nifty time function that grabs the time from the www. Very neat! You can parse the info and create a way to update the uMite time with this little beast. About the same price as a ds3231, except of course you would need a www wifi connection.

You can also now send emails easily. So much fun!!!

Hello,

chapeau, this is a very nice Project, thank you "mmiscool".

But what about this. With the availibility of the 5$ Raspi....?!

If you plug in a cheap WIFI USB Adapter you end up with a WIFI enabled Raspi and all the Linux ecosystem included, also several Basic Compilers....

Am i wrong, did i forget something??

You're not wrong and the RPi zero will allow a lot more than that to be done.

However, it (almost certainly as I haven't seen full specs yet) will need a LOT more power, which will make it unsuitable in plenty of cases. (I guess it'll be hotter too.)

Hello John,

i agree, the power consumption will be much higher.
I think, also not read the specs, with a wifi module it will be up to 800-1000 mA?

Don't know if the Zero will have sleep modus or something similar..

Here found some specs:
Specs:

And here, draw to 80mA

Hi

I've been reading a page about reducing power consumption on the Zero HERE
