Coming next
- Automated update of the neural network file (tflite) to make the learing of additional pictures much easier and automated (GitHub action)
- New "hyprid" neural network for digital numbers --> allowing the detection of intermediate states ("ring between two numbers") as a subdigit
Change log
Known Issues
- slow response of web server during picture analysis
- spontaneous reboots (mostly due to html access during image processing) - self recovery implemented
General remark: Beside the firmware.bin, typically also the content of /html needs to be updated!
10.1.0 - Stability Increase (2022-01-09)
Reduce ESP32 frequency to 160MHz
Update tflite (new source: https://github.com/espressif/tflite-micro-esp-examples)
Update analog neural network (ana-s3-q-20220105.tflite)
Update digital neural network (dig-s1-q-20220102.tflite)
Increased web-server buffers
bug fix: compiler compatibility
10.0.2 - Stability Increase (2022-01-01)
NEW v10.0.2: Corrected JSON error
Updated compiler toolchain to ESP-IDF 4.3
Removal of memory leak
Improved error handling during startup (check PSRAM and camera with remark in logfile)
MQTT: implemented raw value additionally, removal of regex contrain
Normalized Parameter
MaxRateValueto "change per minute"HTML: improved input handling
Corrected error handling: in case of error the old value, rate, timestamp are not transmitted any more
9.2.0 - External Illumination (2021-12-02)
- Direct JSON access:
http://IP-ADRESS/json - Error message in log file in case camera error during startup
- Upgrade analog CNN to v9.1.0
- Upgrade digital CNN to v13.3.0 (added new images)
- html: support of different ports
9.1.1 - External Illumination (2021-11-16)
- NEW 9.1.1 bug fix: LED implemenetation
- External LEDs: change control mode (resolve bug with more than 2 LEDs)
- Additional info into log file
- Bug fix: decimal shift, html, log file
9.0.0 - External Illumination (2021-10-23)
- Implementation of external illumination to adjust positioning, brightness and color of the illumination now individually

Additional ideas
There are some ideas and feature request, which are not followed currently - mainly due to capacity reasons on side of the developer. They are collected here: FeatureRequest.md
