Events

Thanks, the PROMISE is available on the 8266 and does work mostly. I would like to create the promise here:

wifi.on('connected',(details) => {
var clearQueuePromise = new Promise((resolve,reject) => { --http stuff-- }
});

However, that blows up with nothing in the way of useful information. If I just create the promise outside of the wifi.on, and let it fail until the WiFi connection completes it does what I want although a bit messy.

var clearQueuePromise = new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
  idClearQueue = setInterval(() => {
       idClearQueue = setInterval(() => {
           --do http GET until successful---
          clearInterval(idClearQueue);
         resolve("OK");
       },2000);
});

And then

wifi.on('connected', (details) => {
clearQueuePromise.then((resolve,reject) => {
    print('clear queue finished');
  });
 // This initiates the main loop 
    idMainLoop = setInterval(mainLoop, 2000);

Critical comments are welcome :-)
