ESP8266 yet not implemented parameters

first I want to congratulate you for such a nifty piece of code ... Zbasic makes it really easy to develope a new firmware for the ESP chip ...

I have my great fun with it ... but I also run into a few issues. Issues not language related, but more like implementation-related ...

When I e.g. take the WIFI.SetMode command, only Mode 1 as client is implemented, mode 2 and 3 for AP usage is "currently not supported".

Are there any plans to implement such missing ones in future?

I am not talking about such updates for free, I really like to pay for, that's no issue, but I need to know, if it even will happen in the near future ...

Many thanks, all the best for 2017 and again, all my professional respect for such a piece of code ...

Gerry

We don't have specific plans yet to implement SoftAP mode but it may get done in the process of working on the ESP32.

However, because the ESP8266 is one of the "native" mode targets, you can access many (but not all) available API functions by using the Declare statement to create a ZBasic callable entry. Some issues do arise because of the difference in representation of string data but these can usually be resolved fairly easily, sometimes with the use of a "helper function".
