Hi Bert,
sorry for this OffTopic issue, but I could not find out how to contact you direct.
Could you please give a hint what happened to the "https://github.com/bertmelis/WifiPrinter" library?

I used it in some former projects....

bertmelis commented

It was hopelessly outdated and I remover the public repo. I can look on my computer to see if I have something left there...

But otherwise, it is not that hard to recreate from scratch. You just want to print messages to clients connected to a specific port?

sude22 commented

I have a local copy, but I was just curious if it vanished for some special reason.
It was very useful for debugging when the serial connection was used for other stuff (like the Vito communication ;)
I removed it in most of the newer projects because it seems that it leads to Wifi connection errors with the homie framework, but I didn't had a closer look at that.

Thanks for your good work.

If I remember correctly it uses the blocking version of the TCP server so it could very well mess up if mixed with Homie (which is async).

OK, that would be an explanation. I thought it was async implemented because it used a loop method...
