Re: Architecture advice please?
Got a couple of USB to UART bridges, Silicon Labs CP2102N and FTDI LC231X. Both apparently have drivers included in W10.
FC9 recognized both and proceeded to download to the chip (ESP module).
Failed as there is no ESP module yet, but everything else seems smooth sailing.
Expecting ESP modules next week, Mouser willing.
This will be fun. My first project with WiFi!
@mnfisher your link above is a bit above my pay scale .. I hope I don't need it.

Re: Architecture advice please?
Making good progres, despite being short on time.
Setting up the access point from the ESP Wroom works OK.
Need to educate myself on the protocolls to open the connection to other stations and get the logon process figured out.
After a lot of debillitation I selected a graphic color display to go with it, but the irritating thing is that if you want to print a text or a number a bit larger for distant readability, the characters get extremely blocky. It seems that the software just enlarges the existing character construct instead of itelligently constucting a larger character.
I'll thry to find some more info or open another thread for that. I'm sure there is a solution, this must have come up multiple times in the past.
