Feature: Force SoftAP if the user button is held down during startup. #560

Closed mc-hamster closed 3 years ago

mc-hamster commented 3 years ago

If the user button is held down during startup, force device into the SoftAP.

The sequence is ... hold down the middle button. push and let go of reset, count to 2 and let go of the middle button.

@crossan007 Said that the forced softap preference may get accidentally persisted in some workflows. I need to change how this is done to not save into radioConfig.preferences.*

is there a "user button" pin defined on boards without physical?

mc-hamster commented 3 years ago

On the boards with two buttons, there's a reset and the other button. It's the other button.

What do you mean, "without physical"?

Black6spdZ commented 3 years ago

that's what I initially thought accept wasn't sure if the "prog" button on this lora32 v1 wasn't defined correctly.. I just get a black screen and no boot after trying the enable softap feature

I tied into the same button that's used to page through the screens of the oled. It's that button.

When you load it for the first time, it usually adds about 20-30 seconds to the boot up, but I've seen it take up to 45. It does this to generate 2048 bit cryptographic keys for the HTTPS server. You may be running into that.

Let's take this conversation to the community forum if you have more questions. This way other people can learn too :)

I'm out for the day. Cheers!
