I'm a brain-damaged Basic Programmer (I recall a programming book that said all Basic coders are brain-damaged ;)) and I recently came across Annex32 in an Elektor article. It's a powerful interpreted Basic the runs on ESP8266 and ESP32 micros, with no software required on the pc. A web-based flasher installs Annex32 on the ESP and coding is done using a web browser. Links to the massive documentation file are included on the flasher page. I'll be happy to expand on this if anyone is interested.

One problem I have when programming ESP32s by any language is figuring out what their IP address is on the network. I've made this process easier when writing code - a short bit of code at the start of the program waits a few seconds, then prints the IP address to the USB (serial) port. In this case, I'm printing out a brief message, adding a dot every second for 10 seconds to show the code is running, the printing out the IP address and netbios handle. Hope this simple tip may be helpful.

The output is shown here. Happy to show the Annex32 code if anyone is interested.

Hi J,
I'm a poor programmer and can only work with BASIC, I use Oshonsoft., which have an ESP32 chip, that I don't know how to program (Arduino C) so I tried AI, which is helping me and it does work mostly.
(I have old projects here, and this new one)
C
Recently I was given some Heltec V3 transceivers
