Handling mis-typed WiFi credentials about fsbrowserng HOT 7 OPEN

the Readme files says

WiFi connection

I've implemented a way to turn ESP8266 into AP mode so I can set WiFi config when prior WiFi is not available. It is done by setting IO pin 4 to high status during boot. This pin is configurable by a #define. in FSWebServerlib.h. You must ensure it is connected to GND to allow it to connect to a router.

I saw that, too. Although I'm not sure it speaks to the scenario I wrote. Stating turn ESP8266 into AP mode so I can set WiFi config when prior WiFi is not available leaves out the indication it would also ignore any existing config.json. So as long as pushing pin 4 high (maybe via a jumper?) does indeed ignore existing config.json then that would work. But I didn't glean that from the readme.

AFAIK it would resolve you scenario , i certainly manage to use it

I have found that when config.json exists and I go into AP mode with the jumper, I reset with an exception (9) reset. Does anyone get this?

from fsbrowserng.

Hi, config.json should be overwritten after entering AP mode and configure settings. Meanwhile, you can always edit your config.json on your computer and flash it using Arduino IDE.

I really like this implementation but the WiFi on-board process could be improved.

Implement mDNS to access device without knowing the IP-Address on the local network.

This would ease up the WiFi-boarding process for users that are uncomfortable in accessing their Router to find the IP or use Serial debug to find it out...

Change the "pin-4 reset" like the "Espruna" project.

They provide a provide a double click on the "Program button" in runtime to access the wifi configuration regardless if the device is attached or not to the wifi.
