My small contribution as I went thru the changes, and it may be helpful for others, from this new library regarding WiFi Provisioning:

  • Indicator.h had a problem when it switched state from waveLED to beatLED as the m_Counter didn’t reset leading beatLED to refer to an unsigned beat[m_Counter]. This would make the LED to stop blinking and stuck on an unknown color/state.

  • Default brightness from 32 to 64.

  • Reset button had some random behavior, at least with me, when pressed several times. I believe this version would fix that. Also I experienced some random configuration reset which I couldn’t justify but button would be trigger that (I think).

**Note that I haven’t tested or confirmed those changes myself so please correct if I’m wrong.

@ldb thanks for detailed review. I can confirm your comments. As for random configuration reset, let us know if you still experience this issue after the update.

Hi @vshymanskyy just updated the ResetButton.h and it appears to be more stable. Before the board would reset configuration after pressing the button several times, do not happen now.
