<h1>#title#</h1>
<p>
In my previous ESP8266 based weekend projects I always hardcoded configuration data. For the ESP8266 these are at least the WiFi credentials SSID and WPA key. Moving it into a different WiFi network requires re-flashing it. There must be a better way I thought and found that's a single line of code to run the ESP8266 as an accesspoint, which opens its own WiFi network.

The two templates are:
Using the both templates for a <a href="https://gitlab.com/wolutator/EspThermometer2/blob/master/ConfigGenerator/configuration_c.tmpl" target="_blank">C-</a> and a <a href="https://gitlab.com/wolutator/EspThermometer2/blob/master/ConfigGenerator/configuration_h.tmpl" target="_blank">H-</a>file all the code for the configuration web page, the EEPROM handling code and the code to access the configuration variables is generated.

<pre>
<code "language"="C">
typedef struct {
#for $configItem in $configItems
#if $configItem.type == 'C'
char ${configItem.key}[$configItem.length];
#else if $configItem.type == 'I'
uint32_t $configItem.key;
#end if
#end for
} tConfigBlock;
extern const uint32_t MAGIC;
extern tConfigBlock configBlock;
void configServeIndex();
void configServeGetConfiguration();
void showConfiguration();

The functions provided using these templates in turn a call from a rather simple <a href="https://gitlab.com/wolutator/EspThermometer2/blob/master/configurationMode.cpp" target="_blank">configuration mode</a>. In pure configuration mode (when the device is unconfigured or the configuration mode is requested using a pulled-down pin) a new WLAN will be opened using the accesspoint functionality of the ESP8266. In production mode, the configuration accesspoint is not started, however, the configuration mode webserver is started nevertheless.

Besides these generated files I also needed a framework to distinguish between "configuration mode" and "production mode" and in configuration mode to start the WiFi accesspoint.
</p>
<p>
Since I'm programming the ESP8266 in an Eclipse-based Arduino-environment, this is all done in the <code>setup()</code> and <code>loop()</code> function:
</p>
<p>
<pre>
<code language="C">
// Do not remove the include below
#include "EspThermometer2.h"
#include "defines.h"
// #define ESP8266
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include "configuration.h"
#include "productionMode.h"
#include "configurationMode.h"
ADC_MODE(ADC_VCC);
bool configMode = false;
uint32_t startTime = 0;
void setup() {
startTime = millis();
#ifdef DEBUG
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Starting ...");
#endif
pinMode(CONFIG_SWITCH, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
EEPROM.begin(512);
EEPROM.get(EEPROM_ADDR, configBlock);
Serial.print("Magic: ");
Serial.println(configBlock.magic);
configMode = ((LOW == digitalRead(CONFIG_SWITCH)) || (configBlock.magic != MAGIC));
if (configMode) {
#ifdef DEBUG
Serial.println("Configuration mode");
#endif
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
setupConfigurationNetwork();
setupConfigurationServer();
} else {
#ifdef DEBUG
Serial.println("Production mode");
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
showConfiguration();
#endif
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
setupProduction();
setupConfigurationServer();
}
#ifdef DEBUG
Serial.println("Started.");
#endif
}
void loop() {
if (configMode) {
loopConfiguration();
} else {
loopProduction();
}
}
</code>
