Re: Stand-alone utility to load hex files into target?

I guess you also need to tell it which hex file to flash, right?

I'll see if I can find any documentation for it.
Also I guess with this the guy/gal doing the flashing must have a python on his system.

Stand-alone utility to load hex files into target?

I am not sure my question makes sense, but here goes: When 'compile to target' FC compiles the source to ultimately a hex file and downloads that to the target chip, connected via USB. In my case an ESP32_wroom. Does a utility exist that takes this hex file and downloads it to the target without usi...

Re: RTC_ESP32_NTP date/time return format

All well now. Once I realised I misinterpreted stuff, it fell into place.
TimeQuery successful, DateString returned 06/14/23.
Onward!

Re: RTC_ESP32_NTP date/time return format

I changed the format specification bit to see what happens. If I change the GetTimeString format it deletes the seconds and displays HH:MM only, which is according to spec. Changing the Get DateString format has no effect, it still displays 01/01/226. I do not plan to wait a year to see whether it t...

RTC_ESP32_NTP date/time return format

To verify that I could connect my ESP32 project to the 'net and communicate with another site I thought getting the time would be a good case. Basically I can gather the date and time but the format isn't what I expected. The returned RTC_ESP32_NPT1::GetTimeString(1) returns 00:00:00 and repeated ca...

Re: Erasing text on graphic LCD

It is possible to buffer the display I did it for a demo here https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1569&p=9135&hilit=Cheeting#p9135 However you need to use less bit depth- - I used 2,4 and 8 bit versions to fit in the available memory (on esp32) You could use a similar...

Re: Erasing text on graphic LCD

Hi Probably doable but it seems you are eating up memory. What about just having two branches? Branch one with B1 variables writes your operational screen with whatever background and fixed graphics etc whilst branch two with B2 variables writes your setup screen? As long as you didn't change any v...

Re: Erasing text on graphic LCD

Ben a follow-up to the Display Manager if I may. I was looking at a way to 'page' the display. Like when switching between an operational screen and a setup screen. I was thinking I could save a whole screen to memory, display the other screen and then recall the first screen. Mem wise it would need...

Re: Increase number of SSID reported by scan-for-SSID in ESP32

Ages ago I used a mobile phone to configure. Basically if the ESP couldn't connect it then went it to a "configure routine". This routine created an AP and published a page with all found SSIDs. You could then select the required one and enter a password. That is the way my audio streamer...
