New Release 1.70.5

[cicciocb]

Hi all,
I've just published a new release 1.70.5 that mainly corrects an issue found when using the onUrlMessage event (thanks to videobelu)

This version contains all the improvements achieved with the 1.70.4 and should be now very stable and reliable.

Additionally it includes other fixes linked to the TFT GUI (thanks to karlkloss) and some other TFT functionality .

Enjoy the update, and as always, please don’t hesitate to share your feedback.

This is the change log :

Code: [Local Link Removed for Guests]

Version 1.70.5
- Fixed the onUrlMessage event (1st and 2nd fix)
- Increased the ping time period from 5 to 10 seconds
- TFT
    - Implemented gui.textarea (same syntax as the VGAGUI.TEXTAREA)
    - Fixed the repetitive event on button when the text changes inside
    - Implemented GUI.GetText (same as VGAGUI.GETTEXT)
    - Implemented GUI.Visible obj, visible (0=hidden, 1=shown)
    - Implemented the function TFT.WIDTH and TFT.HEIGHT that returns the size of the TFT

As a little Christmas Gift I've just uploaded the version 1.70.5 for the Annex CAM.

This version includes a new "stream" output in format MJPEG ...
simply do http://ip_of_the_module/stream.

I've also included 2 little demos, one that use the previous "picture" method and another one that use the new "stream" output.

You'll found these examples in the zip attached.

Enjoy and .... Happy Christmas

That are again good news!
Will test that with at least two modules, which are presently working with the „old“ version

The version log says:

Improved the CAMERA.PICTURE (the image taken is the current one - no 4 stage buffer anymore)

THANKS!

Danke- ein schönes weihnachtsgeschenk -

Thank you this is a nice Christmas gift I hope - at that time I found Annex just because of this camera function

hello, there are cam modules with the esp32s3 - e.g. from Freenove (honestly I have
two of them in the hope on more stability - but that was a mistake)
would these modules bring advantages ? -

There is so little interest about the cam so that I do not plan to develop a specific version for the -S3 (despite I have one since long time, I've never tested it)

Yes, the ESP32-S3 has certainly better performances but the integration of the camera will require a lot of work

I have the impression that the latest changes have actually improved performance. Thanks!
I love the affordable ESP32-CAM modules, but for that price I have to accept their limited resolution and frame rate.

I've just thought about putting an ESP32-CAM behind a mirror to recognise me in the morning and reassure me that I'm the best looking guy in the bathroom - although maybe that's only true thanks to the small size of the bathroom and I might save some parts and lines of code after all .
