    Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!!
    It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time. If you do run across a suspicious comment, I would appreciate you letting me know at info@dronebotworkshop.com.
    Thanks!

    I'm working working with the WifiManager for years on my ESP8266 projects, but because of your workshop video, I've learned some stuff again. So thanks a lot for that. Regarding the ESP32, there is a smaller version available, I'm using for my projects. It's the WEMOS D1 mini ESP32. It is small but powerfull.

The presentation and the kind of explaining the topics is very clear , not too fast and very understandable. In many other YT-Videos you lost time with unnecessary doings like showing the wiring (one wire after anaother) of a circuit and missing absolutly important background knowledge. Keep it forward.

    Thank you for making this. I'm trying to learn code and there's a lot of choices in tutorials, but not many in native clearly spoken English. Your shop is an American Dream it looks to be. Most of the video was exactly what I needed so I'll be back for more. Where I got lost and your explanations sped up was when it came to the JSON and SPIFFS file and config setup and saving. However, I learned much of what I needed for a basic temp sensor I'm building several of. I've used the WifiManager when I got into all of this building many WLED controllers, but it was all prebuilt and finally I hit the button in my life where it was time to get down to understaniding and compiling my own code for projects I build for work and for fun. I'm going to see what else you have to offer on here and wondered if you use any other platforms to..... well basically show off your skills with a almost complete workshop like yours. Thanks again and hope to read a reply soon as this video is 1.5 years old now. So....What's new?

    That's a lot easier than I thought. Would have saved my quite some time, if I had just looked it up before I wrote my own UART based config "editor". Well the ESP has to talk to an AVR over UART as well (using other parts of my "command line"), so what I wrote isn't completely useless, but still...

  • @grassrootfilms
    @grassrootfilms 2 года назад +1

    Unless they fixed it, make sure to set the connection timeout property in the library because by default it's 0 seconds. Yes, 0. So if it doesn't connect immediately to your network, it just goes right back to the manager and can be a real pain if this is module is installed in a hard to get to location. I usually set it to 30 seconds and that seems to work every time.

    The weak point for distributing ESP32 / ESP8266 solutions is the need of reading the serial connection. We include an ip for our network connected SMS Gateway and in the config screen we have a field for phone number. When connected the first time we use the internet for sending an SMS to the owners own phone containing the local ip, he should connect to. We've coded the SMS gateway for Android and the ESP-owner could install this on his own (android-)phone and not even have to have contact to our SMS Gateway. In this way no computer and no Arduino IDE is needed - only a powerbank or a power supply.

    Does "WiFi Manager" only work on the regular ESP32? Or can it be utilized on variants like the mini version or CAM version? 😊
