@mintytrebor

Ok ESP code written , can send http string, now for the next stage .. is there and easy test to do to see if i can send data to DWC without a plug in?

I need to do this step by step .. its not my strongest subject

@moth4017 You will need to use the built in object model plugin to see global variables. Just enable it in DWC, you can then use it to view global.xxxxx variables.

Follow the steps I previously posted, and watch for changes in the OM plugin. You can just type the http command into a browser to check your variable is setup and changes are visable, before you test your esp code.

@moth4017 yes

@moth4017 Your choices are to use the object model plugin to see the variables eg:

or use BtnCmd to display them eg:

Read the BtnCmd wiki for instructions on how to install & use it.

@moth4017

Click the show settings button (cog) in the bottom right of the BtnCmd window
Click the green "create & edit layouts" button
Click the "add new panel" button
Select object model panel, and click enter settings

@moth4017 your welcome

@moth4017 If you want to - there is an import/export layout feature in BtnCmd, so you can include your BtnCmd layout with the esp code.
