Getting "Connection lost" quite a lot about goprocontrol HOT 5 CLOSED

I did 2 projects using GoProControl. Managed to get it to a point where the ESP was stable with my Hero. This one is the first with code. The second one added a slider to the setup, but similar code. The ESP connection bits should be the same between the two. Sorry, I did this months ago so don't recall the inner workings but the sketch should be self explanatory. There's a note in there about issues arising when you disconnect the Hero first (I think) and the need to ensure gp.end() is called before (or something to that note). Code is at the bottom of the first one...

@PlastiBots @aster94 a word of advice guys, I ran this library inside the Raspberry pico w, and duuude, I mean duuude, what a blast! it's so incredibly fast, the only changed I did to make it work is in the file:
GoProControl.h
line 30 I added this:
#if defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32) || defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_MBED_RP2040)|| defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_RP2040) // ESP32
The board manager I used was from this repo https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico, the rest of the code was fully compatible and the connection was so stable I didn't have to worry anymore

@PlastiBots I just noticed your comment in the code:

There's an issue somewhere between comms of the ESP and GoPro. This took me a week to figure out. Turns out
that if you disconnect / power down the ESP or GoPro without first successfully calling gp.end() something
gets hung in the comms. The ESP will still connect to the GoPro but it will return connection lost errors.
To fix this, simply disconnect ESP power, turn off GoPro and remove battery (I did for a few mins, but it may take less)
Then power up the GoPro, then the ESP and try again. I think it also works if you just remove the GoPor
battery, wait a bit, then power it back on and re-connect.

And I also noticed you set up the Mac Address of the camera, I am going to follow on that as well, thanx!
