// This template is a resilient implementation of a pre-WiFi connection  //
// environment that allows the user to configure the Ssid and password   //
// for the WiFi network via a built-in web-server that is automatically  //
// started by the template when no WiFi network has been configured.     //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Purpose ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// One of the problems is that given the cost, ESP devices are bought in //
// bulk, programmed and then sprawled out allover a site but typically   //
// Arduino templates have little accountibility or resillience built-in  //
// that would make the templates resist ESP resets and still be able to  //
// connect to the WiFi network. Similarly, in case the site is mobile,   //
// and in case the WiFi network changes, then all the ESPs will just     //
// have to be reprogrammed manually by the user which is a daunting task //
// relative to the amount of ESP devices in use. This template addresses //
// that issue by creating a robust mechanism where the ESP device will   //
// reboot in a preboot AP mode in case the WiFi network cannot be found  //
// or connected to in order to allow the user to reconfigure the ESP.    //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Example Usage //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//   * configure the template parameters as need be within the           //
//     "configurable parameters" section of this template, the password  //
//     defined as a "master password" will grant access to configurng    //
//     the template and will also be used as the OTA password            //
//   * add any user-code to the connectedLoop() function that will be    //
//     called by the Arduino loop with a delay of 1 millisecond (the     //
//     user must include a delay in order to not throttle the CPU)       //
//   * when booting, the template will generate an Ssid based on the ESP //
//     CPU identifier consisting of up to two digits and will blink the  //
//     built-in ESP LED in sequence in order to give away the AP         //
//   * connect to the numeric AP started by the ESP and configure the    //
//     network Ssid and password                                         //
//   * the template will now connect to the WiFi network using the       //
//     provided Ssid and password; iff. the WiFi disconnects from the    //
//     WiFi network for more than the amount of milliseconds given by:   //
//                                                                       //
//     WIFI_RETRY_TIMEOUT * WIFI_CONNECT_TRIES                           //
//                                                                       //
//     then the template will restart again in AP mode, blink the LED    //
//     of the numeric Ssid and wait to be configured for a WiFi network  //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Libraries //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The libraries used are minimal and the kind of libraries that have a  //
// wide-range of applications, in particular if the ESP device is WiFi   //
// enabled. Here is a complete list of libraries used by the template:   //
//   * ArduinoJson (very popular JSON library)                           //
//   * TickTwo (timer library for asynchronous processing)               //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Credits ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The template is loosely inspired by the many captive portal solutions //
// out there but with some minimalism in mind and additionally exposing  //
// various configurable parameters such as the HTML webpage. Other close //
// similarities consist in the Tasmota firmware that accomplishes more   //
// or less the same switch between connected to a WiFi network and AP    //
// mode that allows the user to configure the WiFi network.              //
