@Gordon ... awesome ... I understand your response and those were the designs I needed. As for telling me how to implement every function ... I don't disagree. You ARE the whole Espruino architect ... you OWN the grand design and vision. Our contribution is time, ESP8266 skills, ESP8266 coding, debugging, and testing. Right back in the original posts on the ESP8266 port, we recognized that our challenges on this port would not be ESP8266 knowledge or time ... but Espruino internals knowledge.
I'n my 9-5 job, I'm a grunt programmer and used to working with designers and architects. Those guys own the knowledge and vision and ... the important part ... architecture. Together ... we work on a project ("Port Espruino to ESP8266"). We identify work tasks ("Implement networking"), we assign responsibilities ("Kolban - go own 'implement networking') and then I buckle down to figure out how it can be done. However, there isn't a day that doesn't go by where I don't have a question or problem that I bring by the architect who points me in the right direction. He doesn't "implement" what my job is to build ... he guides me on the architecture and, just like you did in this post, he may help me with pseudo code and drawings. The grind work then comes back to me to take what he has given me and from there ... low level design, code, test, debug, document.
This is my way of saying how grateful I am that you take the time to respond patiently to these forum posts. Maybe that last post of yours took 10 minutes or 30 minutes to compose ... but I anticipate that my work now will take a few hours to get right and test and document ... and if I do it correctly, there will now be a paper trail for those who come next.
It is also vital that we not abuse your time and grace. If you ever feel that we are off track PLEASE let us know and we will throttle down questions ... or simply delay in responding to them till your time permits. If there are others in the Espruino community who have knowledge on the networking subsystem even close to Gordon, please make yourself known :-)
