Accessing the Built-in Web Interface

The RadioDoge Heltec firmware includes a built-in web interface. Here's how to access it:

Step 1: Connect to the Device

  1. The device creates a WiFi access point (AP mode)
  2. Look for a WiFi network named RadioDoge-XXXX or ESP32-XXXX
  3. Connect from your computer or mobile device
  4. Default password is typically radiodoge (or check the OLED screen)

Step 2: Open the Web Interface

  1. Open a web browser on the connected device
  2. Navigate to: http://192.168.4.1
  3. You should see the RadioDoge web interface homepage

Note: If 192.168.4.1 doesn't work, check the OLED display for the IP address, or check your network gateway settings.
