### Legacy weight scale is remodeled into WiFi connected scale by ESP32

- The original control board with LCD is removed. Load cells and push button of the scale are re-used.

- ESP32 sends weight to MQTT server at port 2883. 

- Node-RED on raspberry pi splits incoming MQTT at 2883 to Thingsboard at port 1883

## remaining issues

- sometimes WiFi reconnection fails after wake up from deep sleep
