OK, so I decided to take the plunge and started with the Web flasher on a Heltec S3. The flashing went OK, no particular issues.
Then for simplicity I tried to use the Web Client to setup the Heltec. The Web client could see the COM port that the Heltec was connected to, I am using Edge on Windows 10.
But I can see no save button or other way to save the config to the Heltec.
What am I missing ?
There is a little floppy disk symbol top right?
As @Bikeham mentioned, you should see it in the top-right part of the webpage as indicate in the image below:
Well I am old enough to remember that stuff was saved on floppy disks, so did think it might be the floppy disk icon.
But the floppy icon was like greyed out and nothing happened when you clicked on it.
Where in the instructions for the Web client is the save process documented ?
I tried Edge I think, and Chrome on Windows is the only thing that worked for me. And it is finniky enough on that… worth reading which buttons to press [Edit: on the node] when before taking a dive.
I installed a copy of Chrome portable, the floppy disk icon now changes colour when the mouse cursor moves over it and saving the config now works. This was not happening with the Edge on my laptop.
I guess if your an experienced writer of software it would be obvious to you that a small floppy disk icon meant ‘Save’ but I wonder how many younger and inexperienced users realise this.
Thanks all for your help.
Sorry I meant which buttons on the radio node to get it into download / update mode. Good luck.
No need to put the Heltec board itself into download mode, that happened automatically.
The CLI mode and WEB cannot be used simultaneously.
