Arduino UNO + ESP8266 Udp NTS Global time check

/*
 WiFiEsp example: UdpNTPClient
 Get the time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) time server.
 Demonstrates use of UDP to send and receive data packets
 For more on NTP time servers and the messages needed to communicate with them,
 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
 NOTE: The serial buffer size must be larger than 36 + packet size
 In this example we use an UDP packet of 48 bytes so the buffer must be
 at least 36+48=84 bytes that exceeds the default buffer size (64).
 You must modify the serial buffer size to 128
 For HardwareSerial modify _SS_MAX_RX_BUFF in
   Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino\SoftwareSerial.h
 For SoftwareSerial modify _SS_MAX_RX_BUFF in
   Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\SoftwareSerial\SoftwareSerial.h

GIT : How to squash commits in Webstorm

First rebase with you master branch ie.

git pull --rebase origin master

Then your commits on the top of branch and u can squash N commits into one.

Just find in top menu VCS - > Git -> Rebase in the popup window left everything like it is, but in field "From:" write "HEAD~X" where "X" is "N - 1" commits back. Reason is that you have to squash it into one, usualy the last one . So if u have 7 commits, put there HEAD~6 . You will have to change name of commit.
