Update WiFi config. Add PointPerfect services.

Note: You can load the latest firmware or release candidate over the air. Alternatively, there is a GUI process as well.

Note: We recommend doing a factory reset after upgrading firmware.

In summary, this release changes how consumers (that's NTRIP Client, TCP Server, firmware update, etc) need network access (that's WiFi, or in the case of EVK - cellular and ethernet). With this firmware update, RTK devices will only attempt to connect to the internet if a consumer needs that access. If you see behavior where a device should be connecting, but does not, let us know!

Additionally with this firmware update, the way PointPerfect corrections has changed. Now the user specifically indicates which PointPerfect service they want to use. This lays the groundwork for future PointPerfect services if and when they are launched (PointPerfect Live and PointPerfect Global L-Band, we hope). PointPerfect Flex RTCM/NTRIP has been added allowing users to provision their device, and have their NTRIP credentials filled in automatically.

Add Facet mosaic L-Band

Note: You can load the latest firmware or release candidate over the air. Alternatively, there is a GUI process as well.

Note: We recommend doing a factory reset after upgrading firmware.

This release primarily adds a lot of support and baseline features for the new RTK Facet mosaic L-Band. A few bugs are fixed on the Torch, EVK, and Postcard. A few baseline features are added to the Postcard.

Changes in this release:

Known issues:

• Firmware update from the Web Config page using AP Config and Ethernet Config is not working. This is a known issue and is because of the new networking layer. This will be added in a future release. To update the firmware, use the Web Config in WiFi mode (not AP), use the Firmware Update GUI, or use the Serial Configuration method.
• Postcard Base Mode is not transmitting the correct amount of RTCM. This will be fixed in a future release.

Changes in this release:

• New Network layer and update to ESP core 3.0.7. This allows individual system consumers (ie, NTRIP Client, OTA updates, etc) to access the three possible network layers (ethernet, WiFi, cellular).
