There is a good amount of lag in this forum that plays some tricks on us. i seems that we get a little "out of sync" in our conversation.

I did get a bit inpatient from all the planning and "designing" on the new functions so I couldn't really stop myself from going ahead and write my own code...sorry.
I use platformio as IDE and with the arduino framework it wasn't so many hours of work.

That said, I would like to use your code anyhow because I will need other type of functionality onboard where you cli approach is much better suited.

As I understand from your answers what I first called a bug is the uart=>cli functions you describe...sorry again. But the "forget everything and reset" is still there and it is easy to trigger...I will describe how you can trigger that.
I also understand that I should be getting the sensor value out on the uart...is that so?
I will play some more with the BME280 and leave the "GPS" out of the equation as it constantly spews info. and make it hard to se other data. I'll report back on that to.

- Wed Nov 03, 2021 3:33 am #92764 Hi Eric and sorry for the late answer... a lot of work lately.
I use the very latest master branch #25 release that is flagged as "latest" on the github page.

- Wed Nov 03, 2021 11:12 am #92767 Yeah, I already feared that. That one is really quite old now.

Are you capable to compile an image yourself, do you have a machine that has some basic development tools like make, gcc etc.?

Also please note that I stopped supporting the "plain" images. They didn't really fit anymore in 512 kb flash, so there was no sense keeping it around in the code. Now there is only the "ota" images, which require 1 Mbyte / 8 Mbit flash (or 2 / 16 if you want to do OTA).
