I created a small set of modules to control a WS2812 matrix using a httpServer.
Source is available on github
Even having only a small set of functions, I'm running out of memory very soon.

Is there a guideline to save memory ?
Is there any help to control memory consumption ?
In my example, heap is less than 4k, and collectgarbage("count") is 15.
After 2nd request to httpServer it runs out of memory.
Had to remove function for httpClient to get it running.

Moin,

there are some suggestions scattered in various posts from TerryE and others.
It would be great if you can consolidate them and start a wiki page to document them.

I guess if we have some bullet points on that page enhancements will pop up.

Carsten,

I am building up a FAQ on this to explain what we've been learning -- in terms that a newbie to ESP 8266 can get a handle on. However, to be honest, I am still learning some of the wrinkles my self! However, I have now got the overhead for my RPC framework down to ~5Kbytes RAM. What I'll do in the next day or so is to put this in github and do this FAQ documentation the github wiki pages. If you / admin think it would be worthwhile then maybe we can upload this FAQ to the esp8266 wiki.

Cool!

Sounds great!

Carsten
