Numitron v3 firmware was created by judge
I just uploaded the v3 firmware - many thanks.
The mDNS doesn't seem to work? The manual says to press the button until the ESPID is displayed, but my clock doesn't have a button - it has a header with a pin marked BTN, but I haven't connected a button up to it. Anyway, I ran bonjour browser on my laptop, which shows all mDNS services that are advertised on the local network and there is nothing I don't already know about. Is the ESPID displayed on the GUI anywhere? If it is how do I map from that to the DNS name?

Hi Judge, the mDNS name should be the "hostname" which should be "ESP_aabbcc" where aa,bb and cc are the last three bytes of the MAC address. You should be able to attach to http://<hostname>.local.
A worked example:
My MAC is 84:F3:EB:5A:47:DD
My hostname is "ESP_5A47DD"
I should be able to connect using mDNS with "http://ESP_5A47DD.local"
If you had a button, pressing it 6 times should have told you "5A:47:dd"
Let me know if it works...

The OTA has made such a difference: Firmware updates on the fly, also to people "out there". I don't know how I ever managed without it.

Look into it later when the dust is clearing off the crater.

I can't comment on the officially released v3 since I am still running a pre-release pulled form the repo a few days ago. It's the version that has mDNS but just uses the name "numitron". For whatever reason, I can not see it in my Bonjour Browser either. However, if I point a web browser at numitron.local it works as expected. My Bonjour Browser does work right - I can see my Modular Rev.3 ("nixieclock") and a bunch of unrelated stuff that's using mDNS.

I changed the name from "numitron" to the clock individual name, because everyone will need more than one of these in their homes, right? I also played with the idea of calling the first one "numitron" and then trying to see if that was used already and numbering them through sequentially. I thought that might be more confusing. What do you guys think?
