Finally, I'm getting a lot of coding done on the Web Server to allow me an easier way to configure the system, rather than directly editing the database
My "Web Server" is an ESP-01 (Esp8266 module) with 2M of Flash memory. I am constantly amazed at how much I can make this do, given the limited memory, and just how well it works. I didn't write the "server" code, I'm just using the example code for the HTTP Server, but my http module consists of over 8,800 lines of code which I've written. I'll see about gathering up some screen shots when I can. It's nothing fancy, just simple basic hand written HTML code, but it works, and that's the whole point of this entire project.
I could have used my Windows 10 box for my web server, it already runs my MySql Database Server, in fact, I have many years experience writing database intensive web sites, but the thought of running a web server on a postage stamp size module was intriguing. In fact, I have 4 little "servers" running on them, all mounted on a custom programming board,
