Re: Custom hotspot name on dashboard????

Re: 4.3.0 Beta feedback

Hi all, I'm having issues with the dashboard regularly dropping out since the upgrade to 2.4.0 in as much as when you go to check it, it has frozen at some prior point in time, with the last inbound transmission showing infinity and no subsequent Net/RF data being displayed.

Re: Symbols

What is with this encryption of ssids and passphrases that cant handle a single symbol? It's not even a space. Just a symbol. Like !@#$%^&*&(). One of those. Please stop encrypting super not secret ssids and passphrases. Then figure out a way to incorporate symbols. :idea: wow, please adjus...

Re: nextion.py - Python 3 conversion for 4.2.0 and 4.2.0

Re: Update Broke FM Mode

If the current FW is not working, check that you are using the high speed baud rate (now required for FM), 115200 is no longer enough.
