    I have to complement you on the fantastic work you have done on this project. The documentation in itself is fantastic.

    I am having a problem with this. First I don't know how to unpack arduino-esp32fs-plugin-master. I searched the web over and can't find an explanation. I copied the files to the tools directory but that didn't seem to do anything.

    Also when I enable ESPNOW I get a compile error. Maybe this is related to the plugin??
    In function 'void MANAGEMENT_buildadminpg1()':
    managementserver.h:1667:29: error: 'OFFSTR' was not declared in this scope
    MSpg.replace("%IPS%", OFFSTR);

    Problem1
    https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin
    From that page, scroll down

    Installation
    
        Make sure you use one of the supported versions of Arduino IDE and have ESP32 core installed.
        Download the tool archive from releases page.
        In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet.
        Unpack the tool into tools directory (the path will look like <home_dir>/Arduino/tools/ESP32FS/tool/esp32fs.jar).
        Restart Arduino IDE.
    

    It is not like a library, it is installed/copied manually
    How do you know if it works -
    When Arduino IDE is restarted - it will have a new menu item under tools -

    Next, no it is not replated to the plugin. The plug in lets you upload all the files (web pages etc) in the data folder to the controller once it has been programmed with firmware. If that step is omitted, the firmware will not work because it will search for the files and not find them

    Next, espnow
    Thanks for the heads up

    There are some errors in the v12 of espnow.h code. , not sure how that happened., I have corrected these
    Please find attached v13

    Regards
    Robert

    Thanks so much. I have the board working and the Windows Application working. I feel like I am bugging you but I can't find the ASCOM driver for the Daughter Board. I loaded the driver for the myESP01 relay but I am unsure if this is right. NINA fails to connect when I select this driver.

    Thanks

    Kurt

    The myESP01 also has an ASCOM test program.
    Have you tried using the test program.
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/myesp-boards/files/myESP01-Relay/ASCOM%20TEST%20APP/

    Attached is ascom driver v003 to which Trace has been added.
    use control panel to remove the version you have
    Then install this one by running the .exe file.
    Then start nina, select the ascom driver, on the setupdialog box CHECK the Trace checkbox before connecting
    That will create a trace log which I have have a look at - it is stored in the users documents/ascom/logs folder

    There is no ASCOM app for the esp32 daughter board. Never got round to do it,

    it would be a compilcated piece of art. because there are just so many different variations of how things can be configured and looking at the ASCOM standard for switch types etc I really doubt that ascom would be able to handle all of that.
