Esp8266 WebServer Farm - Again

After several long months, I have reactivated my Esp8266 WebServer Farm.

Use this links to all of my Esp8366 project blog posts.

Esp8266 WebServer Farm

Currently, one of my WebServers can be accessed as: http://esp.wa0uwh.com:8154

The main reason that it has be off-line, is lack of interest, and recently, I could only get the code to compile on the old Arduino IDE (Rev 1.6.x).  The code is quite large and I took advantage of many "tabs" for code fragments, which are concatenated before presented to the compiler.  The new Arduino IDE Revision (1.8.1) is much more strict regarding Header Files, code files, and program structure. There were just TOO MANY errors to correct to keep my interest in solving the problem.

Once started to solve the problems and not getting much accomplished, my Friend Jeff - Ko7m, suggest another IDE, he suggested "PlatformIO IDE".

With little work, I found and installed PlatformIO, but alas, I found similar problems and concerns with it.  But little-by-little after much on-line reading, Jeff and I worked out the best file structures that worked with PlatformIO.

I have not moved the new code structure to GitHub, but maybe soon.
