In the meantime I have found a flashing-tool that is easy to use
Here is the compiled binary as a ZIP-file
OpenBoat-WireLess-Tank-Sensor-001.ino.generic.zip (248.0 KB)
This file must be unzipped to extract the
F:\myData\Arduino\OpenBoat-WireLess-Tank-Sensor-001\OpenBoat-WireLess-Tank-Sensor-001.ino.generic.bin
and this file must be uploaded to the Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 board
Here is the version that is modified to use the SafeStrings and has some additonal serial output for debugging
no guarantee for both versions that they work properly
I was able to flash both versions into a ESP826-board and the serial monitor is showing messages that the code is running
OpenBoat-WireLess-Tank-Sensor-003-SafeString.ino.generic.zip (251.7 KB)
