that's good news!
So you're still into the project...

Thanks mate, yes. I haven't stopped everynight trying to get it all sussed out, Igrr helped via Github and finally got the main two issues sorted. I wasn't of aware of the two ciphersuites that were required. They are now added and the update is connecting now. The crashing seems to be solved so only the issue of the power to sort out. I am going to get those batteries you mentioned but still stuck on why the 5v will not power it through the AMS1117

I am going to give these a few more days at trying to get a device working and them I am giving up with them, I have tested on 5 brand new chips and they all have the same issues globally, IE the issues that I have had are present in all chips I have tried with. I do it have it working on one device but it is an 01 and it continues to work, the issue is once again the 12f.

The issue I am wanting to resolve at this point is the fact that despite the chip receiving the new sketch correctly, it does not load it just crashes, in the database all the data from the chip is stored correctly, chip size free space, current version etc, the server sends the new version and updates the database to say it has been deployed and then that is it, it crashes on the chip with no error from the server and the only way to get the new firmware on is manual upload. In this case I have changed one word in a Serial.Print so that I can determine if it has updated or not and it does not.

Free space: 544768
Sketch Size: 351472
Chip Size: 1048576

After thinking that was now working from last time, battling getting the chip to boot without crashing, issues with the chips not booting up with anything less than a 12v input, I am pretty fed up with the ESPs now Anyone any suggestions on why the HTTP update would fail on the actual chip after being retrieved from the server ?

Let me know any set up info you need me to provide and I will straight away. Thanks in advance.
