Thank you for the suggestion. I had moved the project on by using a separate inexpensive pic for the zerocrossing/mains and just send commands to it from the esp32. It did have some benefits like if the esp ever had a lockup the pic could timeout and safely handle things. However, now that some of t...

I'm a bit confused on the best way to stay up to date. The instructions show to use the .json paths in arduino: Stable release link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json Development release link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/ardui...

Thanks for the reply and unfortunately I figured this was going to be the case. I have a different file that I read from the server using regular http so I suppose I could always read first and if it is successful then switch to https for the post. I don't think there is anything critical about the ...

I am trying to post to a https page. Everything works but if you have a scenario where the unit cannot reach the page there is a long 18 second timeout. The timeout command do not affect this. If you change the url to http instead it works and fails immediately and continues. This only seems to affe...

Those are just an example. The app also does a ftp of data to a site so it needs the site credentials as well.

That is actually what I was just working on. :^) I would just use ssid and passwords that were scrambled letters and have my array out of sequence too. Kind of the long way around the issue.

Looks like I was wrong the char array. It doesn't show up in the .bin initially but if you do something with it then the value shows as plain text as well.

Every home has a lock set. However, you do have people that can pick the lock, use bump keys, or simply kick the door in. Yet we use a cheap lock set because it provides good enough security. I understand there will always be a way someone can find a way in but I just don't want to leave the door wi...

I was probably not as clear as I needed to be. My project has things such as default wifi passwords, ftp site passwords and such. Things that I want to keep hidden but when I open the .bin file in notepad I am able to see these among the text at the top of the file. One thing that I noticed is it se...

I happen to look at the .bin file created by arduino and noticed that there were several things that show up as plain text in it. I have variables that contain default passwords and such that I prefer not to be openly viewable. In my project I use OTA so I need the bin files for that process. Is the...
