@felmue Thanks, Felix! You're the best!

Got a bit further in the quest.

I added the following:-
void setup() {
// Set console baud rate
SerialMon.begin(115200);
delay(10);

SerialAT.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, 18, 17, false);
delay(3000);
modem.restart();

and got some responses

The problem is that esptool requires certain python versions and so they need to have that as well.
An alternative is a docker package which has everything in it ready.

Hi all!

I figured I'd update this thread with my findings. I've been running a unit in my non-insulated plastic shed for two months of Canadian winter with no problems whatsoever. The screen turned on immediately and is perfectly fine. No unexplained lockups, reboots, or other glitches.

It has been a relatively warm winter (unfortunate for my testing). Inside the shed, it got down to -15C one weekend, but for the rest of the time, it has been between 0C and -6C. Humidity has been an average of 78% with a peak at 97%.

Hello @aezero

I am glad to hear you found a solution. And thank you for sharing.

BTW: for me a rate limit of 10 reduces the download time (from about 70 s to 55 s).

Thanks
Felix
