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...

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...

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 technique t...

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...

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...

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 works; it...

Great topic! Will certainly come in handy for me!

Set it to 32 and all is fine.
Now that people get home from work I'm flooded with no less than 23 active networks.

Next is to figger out to make a scrollable list and how to select from it.
Should be fun.

Thanks Ben!

Thanks Ben, I'll try that.
The 256 was a bit tongue-in-cheek of course - but something like 16 or 32 should be doable. The mem in that ESP32 is huge.

Ben do you mean a function in the component? I don't see it there.
Is there a separate Display Manager somewhere?
