Happy new year to all.

The latest build 267e498 addresses a number of issues and some minor updates as outlined in the changelog and below...

23011501        - #114 default to AP mode if Wifi pass unedited
23010601        - Changed template delimiter to use ~ instead of %
23010201        - Added WiFi recovery command to API
                - Changed INWG to INH2O for continuity in terminology
                - Added default output for convert pressure calc
                - Fixed ADS / ADC reference bug
22122401        - Started on development of differential pressure code
                - Basic orifice control implemented
22122001        - Updated temperature and pressure conversions to accept variable input types

I've not really spent much time on the code over the break but hoping to get back to things over the next week or so. Will keep you posted.

The lastest commit bbf2466 attempts to addresses the wifi connection issue reported by @black-top in discussion #104 where the wifi fails to connects but does not fall back to AP mode. I cannot reproduce this issue locally but have edited the wifi connection method to use a different strategy.

Build #         - Description of Change
                
23011601        - Changed wifi connection to return status value 
                - Changed wifi connection to use waitForConnectResult() instead of status()

[DeeEmm]

Obtaining the Wifi connection seems to be a lot faster now in my local tests. I suspect that waitForConnectResult() is a much more robust way to test for connectivity than relying on wifi.status() despite this being the most commonly documented method.

I am interested to hear how others are finding this change.

I have now merged the Work in Progress branch with master, superseding the old code. There are still some things to iron out but the current code is far more advanced than the old codebase, plus the WIP branch was getting further and further ahead.

#117

The current build version is 23012301

I will continue to develop on the WIP branch and merge changes back into the master as appropriate. Once everything is ironed out to the point that basic functionality is stable. I will create another release candidate and ask for help with validation testing.

The main outstanding items are now just validation of the ADC / MAF values

Once everything is ironed out to the point that basic functionality is stable. I will create another release candidate and ask for help with validation testing.

Actually I've just bundled the current code up into RC3. The old RC2 release is so far our of date it will most likely just confuse people.
