It’s the same firmware, just turning on debugging, so I didn’t create a new minor revision because nothing else has changed. As I said, if the LCD shows the sequence of numbers at the top then that means your firmware is loaded correctly. That will allow you to tell if it’s the debug version or not.
If you use the API script:
http://raysfiles.com/os/TestOSAPI.html
and pull Json debug (/db) it will show the firmware’s build-time. That will provide the difference (the previous version has a different built time).
Also, I don’t know what’s the frequency of pinging you are doing, but I would suggest a slower ping rate (maybe once per minute or something) to begin with.
