Off Line Log Viewer

ESP8266 is a small micro processor. Although you can save a lot of data, I would not recommend it. The data might be corrupt by bugs of program or flashing operation. Even complicated powerful computers share the pain of data loss. You should not expect the data will last until you need it. Moreover, the less the data on the SPIFFS, the faster the data access. I frequently format the SPIFFS because frequently editing the files results in slow access.

In a nutshell, download your logs if you feel it worthy. Keep as less as possible files on SPIFFS.

Including viewing the logs, BPL LogViewer has other functions:

  • Export to CSV

    To save data in a open format or to analysis it, the log can be exported as CSV(comma seperated value) file. The time exported is Unix time(EPOC time).

  • Crop logs

    The data in view can be cropped and saved as a new log file. That is useful if you don't want to keep data before pitch or after cold crash, for example.

Find the log viewer in extra/BPLLogViewerV24n.htm.
