Any news on nextgen Espruino WiFi ?

Thanks MaBe,

Thank you for checking! Now I understand the reason. I think most sites no longer support TLS 1.0/1.1 and TLS 1.2 will be deprecated soon. Unfortunately, the ESP8266 cannot be used for this purpose. An ugly solution. but useful is the http_to_https proxy.

this was the solution I use long time ago for testing.

here you find a newer one https://github.com/jthomperoo/simple-proxy

Thank you very much MaBe!

@MaBe, how do you make requests through a proxy server from espruino?

My REST API example:

var options = {
  protocol: "http:",
  method: 'POST',
  host: 'XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX',  // Proxy IP
  path: 'https://endpoint.com/', // Landing URL
  port: 8888,
  pathname: "restpath",
  search: null,
  query: null,
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Content-Length": content.length }
};

var req = require("http").request(options, function (res) {
  var d = "";
  res.on('data', function (data) { if (d.length < 8) d += data; });
  res.on('close', function (data) { callback(); });
});
req.on('error', function (e) {
  callback();
});
req.end(content);
  } catch (f) {
}

btw, I had problems with simple proxy, but the Squid proxy works very well

Thanks for sharing @Geza - Yes, this is the way you use those proxy

Do you know this?

Maybe this could be the basis of the new official Espruino Wifi.
(And then the esp32 could be completely forgotten.)

How is this related to esp32 and why it should be forgotten? From the basic info this can't do Wi-Fi, it can only passively scan (GPS and) Wi-Fi to determine location. And BTW they have wrong info about RAM, 52840 has only 256KB so maybe other info can be wrong too.

I think probably I'd make nRF52840 the basis of a new Espruino WiFi, but as @fanoush mentioned I don't think that module will do WiFi in any way other than just being able to scan for APs - so there would have to be a separate WiFi module.

Personally I'd quite like to just use an ESP32-C3 on its own, but it's hard to make it decently low power without losing the contents of RAM and having a long wakeup time - so the nRF52840 would be good from that point of view. It's just a shame they're so expensive at the moment

Unfortunately, I didn't read the wifi functions carefully.

esp32 is a memory and energy eater, currently unsuitable for "mobile" operation. BLE is unusable, unstable and unreliable.

I would choose a low-power, very reliable controller as an "official" device. For example the NRF52840 (I really like the Espruino MDBT42Q) with a Wifi (ESP) modul and with a mosfet "switch".

An excellent thought.
