/**
* @file completeExample.cpp
* @author Ian Gray @iangray1000
*
* This is an example GUI to show off all of the features of ESPUI.
* This can be built using the Arduino IDE, or PlatformIO.
*
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* If you just want to see examples of the ESPUI code, jump down to the setUpUI() function
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* When this program boots, it will load an SSID and password from the EEPROM.
* The SSID is a null-terminated C string stored at EEPROM addresses 0-31
* The password is a null-terminated C string stored at EEPROM addresses 32-95.
* If these credentials do not work for some reason, the ESP will create an Access
* Point wifi with the SSID HOSTNAME (defined below). You can then connect and use
* the controls on the "Wifi Credentials" tab to store credentials into the EEPROM.
