ESPixelStick V4.5 Documentation

[runningWithPyro]

Martin--

Appreciate all your work on this project!

Some questions (using forkineye espixelstick v3 hardware, v4 release 5 firmware):

1. is it normal operation for the status page to be a blank form while in FPP Remote mode? Can see categories, but no data. Other pages seem to work OK. OPERATION IS ALSO OK, plays sequence, etc without issue. Data comes into FPP Multisync page normally.
2. Nothing seems to change in Admin-->Advanced mode? No new options or settings that I can see
3. Limitations of 'reboot on fail' setting for network. We had a power outage yesterday and everything in the house came back up OK, connected, as did the pi I have running FPP master, but had to power cycle the ESPixelStick to reconnect to show network.
4. documentation in general? I'm willing to read docs / code, just not exactly sure where to start for the UI side of things.

Again, very much appreciate your work on this project!

Thanks,

Donnie

The beta 4.5 release is VERY old and many issues have been resolved. Please retry using a more recent CI build (available on the web flasher).

• is it normal operation for the status page to be a blank form while in FPP Remote mode? Can see categories, but no data. Other pages seem to work OK. OPERATION IS ALSO OK, plays sequence, etc without issue. Data comes into FPP Multisync page normally.

MEM: No, this is fixed in a later version.

• Nothing seems to change in Admin-->Advanced mode? No new options or settings that I can see
  MEM: I use this regularly. After setting advanced mode, go to the device config page and you will see GPIO settings for the SD card that were not there before.

• Limitations of 'reboot on fail' setting for network. We had a power outage yesterday and everything in the house came back up OK, connected, as did the pi I have running FPP master, but had to power cycle the ESPixelStick to reconnect to show network.
  MEM: I do not use reboot on fail very often. If the ESP loses connection, it will try to reconnect forever. The exception is if you have "Stay in AP set. Then it will go into AP mode and wait for you to connect to the ESP.

• documentation in general? I'm willing to read docs / code, just not exactly sure where to start for the UI side of things.
  MEM: There is a lot of documentation about building and installing. We do not have a ton of information about setting things up. Don't be afraid to try things. You cannot really break anything vis settings.
