Adding Wifi

It looks like all communication is serial, so I assume if you want it connected on wifi (via ESP-x of choice) then that would be done with a serial connection to pipe the data to an ESP8266/32 device, and the ESP then relays that to a server destination of choice (via REST or HTTP or MQTT or whatever).

Since ESP-01/12/32 is not built into OpenScale, shouldn't there be a simple UART connection for it externally, and/or a way to bypass the built in FT231? Or am I way off in the weeds here with a non-scenario for OpenScale?

Openscale has a UART connection (next to the USB labeled "Serial Out") specifically for connecting external serial devices (like OpenLog). Is that what you were asking?

Closed due to lack of activity. Please reopen if you have any questions. ADataDate is spot on. You can add wifi pretty easily through the UART connection.
