ElegantOTA writing to serial port about elegantota HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Robert,
Typically you would want to use Serial1 or SoftwareSerial for other applications where you need discrete control over which task can print data.

Currently, ElegantOTA doesn't have any compiler definition to turn off serial debug. I do think that critical tasks like device firmware upgrade should never have their debug output turned off.

If you are GPIO restricted then you can fork the library and remove all the serial.print lines: https://github.com/ayushsharma82/ElegantOTA/blob/master/src/ElegantOTA.cpp#L82

respectfully, I disagree.
Please do not surmise what I need the srial port for. I had a simple request, which in my mind I framed politely and respectfully.

And a blanket reply fo to a user request to at least provide a means to turn it off, that is really not a solution. If you are unwilling to listen to users then I would suggest that this applciation is not worthy of making into the "Arduino" list.

I think you misunderstood my comment. It was intended to be helpful rather than sounding bullish.

My reasoning for suggesting Serial1/SoftwareSerial was because Serial0 is also used by internal debug logging of ESP core. So one way or the other you will likely encounter some interference if something goes wrong.

Secondly, It's not a blanket reply, You said "I cannot find where to disable this", that's why I quoted the file where you can remove the lines because there is no actual way to remove it via a function call right now. ( and assumed a bit about the likely scenario in the back of my head )

The bottom line is: There is no way right now to do it other than the 2 solutions that I "suggested". I've got some pending bugs to fix in this library before I can hop on to new additions.
