I've modified / borrowed / written code that throws an HTML page using only the arduino UNO & ESP8266 AT Commands. However i find that without hard resetting the ESP8266 module after every page refresh that I only get between 2 & 4 page refreshes before the ESP8266 module 'apparently' hangs.
Does anyone have any ideas if it's possible to keep the connection up without hard resetting the ESP?? It's a pain to have to wait for the hard reset to complete..
A big long bit of code coming up..... Thanks in advance for any help!!
