How can I use the webserver?

The webserver doesn’t work for me

If you have a reproducible problem with the pre-alpha release version, please file a bug so we work on it.

The web interface is not yet live or actually supported but if you’ve tried it, it’d be cool to hear what went wrong.

I clicked on “connect to the device”, got an alert saying the device was correctly setup but then in the console there was a setInterval error

I have built a python GUI interface for PC to mobile communication.

Nice, i searched the forum and github, but can’t find sth related… do you have a link, or isn’t it public jet? :slight_smile:

Maybe I’m just too blind to see^^

have you thought about implementing this into the web interface? would make chatting and device configuration non-pc specific

The device configuration is in the development builds of the webserver that @crossan007 is working on. I’ve used it, it’s really slick.

could we add a method to upload/update the web/spiffs files from a basic flash of the meshtastic bin? it’s a pita for most looking to use basic flash tools such as “esphome flasher” then getting the web functioning

for instance, this functionality from esp3d project:

  • Update firmware by web browser
  • Captive portal in Access point mode which redirect all unknow call to main page
  • mDNS which allows to key the name defined in web browser and connect only with bonjour installed on computer
  • SSDP, this feature is a discovery protocol, supported on Windows out of the box
  • Fail safe mode (Access point)is enabled if cannot connect to defined station at boot.
  • Embedded FS uploader and updater.

Update by web browser - file a feature request
Captive portal - that’s already done
Mdns - that’s already done
Discovery - that’s already done
Fs uploaded and update - that’s already done

We’ve been busy :slight_smile:

what version of the webif is included with the latest spiffs-1.1.42.bin? all I see is is a link that says configure meshtastic device

Meshtastic Web is not yet live and not included in the spiffs binary. The framework is all there to support that effort when it’s ready.

@drewsed and @Black6spdZ and others to whom I promised that I shall contribute my Python GUI for PC to PC communication, has completed it’s first phase. It is my Master’s thesis, so once I complete the thesis and publish the paper on QoS of LoRa in Meshtastic, I shall talk to @mc-hamster and @geeksville to upload it on the Github and for the Pull Request. Wait till May and I shall get back to you all. But now I can share a screenshot of my work so far. Wish me luck for the successfull completion of my project.

It would be @geeksville for the Python bits. I know enough of python to be dangerous but not enough to review PRs. :expressionless:
