Hi All,
So I have cleaned up my code and put the HTML response right after it is received in the code.
I also changed to using Sync PUT requests rather than async.

No more issues with stray PUT requests timing out, however the controls do feel a little bit 'sticky'. It is good enough for what I ...

Hi boarchuz,
Thanks for getting back to me. Your ideas are well founded. I will look into using a synchronous (rather than async) web request so I always wait for a response, but this may result in 'jerky' controls.

I will also try sending a response straight away from the ESP32 and then handling ...

Hi all,
I am developing light controller using an ESP32 in Arduino (I am using the Platform IO IDE).

My controller serves a web page including some javascript that attaches to the the 'oninput' method of a Slider (range) control. This javascript sends HTTP PUT requests back to the ESP32 to change ...

Yes, I think boarchuz is absolutely correct.
The first definition of the delay() function (above) I found by Internet searching.
I have just tried highlighting delay() in Visual Studio Code (Platform IO) and I could go to the definition of the delay function, which is:

void delay(uint32_t ms ...

Hi All,
I have just been looking into the delay() function. The code I have found in the Arduino Core is:

void delay(unsigned long ms)
{
uint32_t start = micros();

while (ms > 0) {
yield();
while ( ms > 0 && (micros() - start) >= 1000) {
ms--;
start += 1000;
}
}
}

As you can see, whilst ...

Thanks heaps for the replies. Sorry that my initial post didn't include enough details.

The program sets up 4 tasks, each of which will change between a Red, Orange and Green LED on the Dotstar Strip in the same way a traffic light works.

The program I have listed in the original post works quite ...

Hi All,
I have been playing around with Strip LEDs (AM103 style) on the ESP32 DEVKITC.
To do this I have been using PtformIO (based on Visual Studio Code). This has worked well and I have has some good fun with the LED strips.However, I have found some issues when running tasks to update the LED ...
