The current firmware version is displayed at the homepage. Changing certain options (such as token, HTTP port) requires a reboot. In Settings, you can change the time zone, device name, zone names, Blynk token, HTTP port, and device key etc. The build-in web interface allows you to:Ĭertain operations require a device key, which by default is Open a browser and type in the device's local IP address. If any zone is running, you can click on 'Reset All' button in the Status tab to turn of all running zones. At this point, the device will perform factory reset and restart in AP mode.Īssuming you've input the Blynk authorization token during the set up, you can now open the Blynk app and it should show the device status (e.g zone status, history etc.) in the Status tab, and control options in the Control tab. If successful, it will display the local IP address with further instructions.Īt any time, you can press and hold the pushbutton for at least 8 seconds, until the LCD displays the 'Resetting' message.

Wait for 15 to 30 seconds for the device to connect to your router. If you don't want to input the Blynk token, you can leave it empty for now. Select (or manually type in) the desired SSID, password, and (optionally) Blynk's authorization token (refer to the instructions above).

If you use Android phone, it may warn you about 'No Internet Connection'. Using your phone or computer to connect to this AP, then open a browser and type in The LCD displays the AP name and a dot blinks quickly at about twice per second. On first boot-up, the firmware starts in AP mode, creating a WiFi network named OSB_XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the last six digits of the MAC address. Once you have created the OSBeeWiFi app, you can go to the project settings to copy the authorization token.

It's recommended that you install the Blynk app, and scan the QR code (in the BlynkApp folder) before proceeding, in order to enable remote access right away. The firmware supports a built-in web interface (which you can access using the device's local IP) as well as remote access using the Blynk app. If you have compiled In Arduino, press Ctrl + U to start uploading. Then run 'make upload' in the OSBeeWiFi folder.

Next, modify the Makefile to change the serial port name to match yours. You can run 'ls /dev/ttyUSB*' to find out.
#Esp8266 firmware update instructables driver
Windows: driver is only needed for Win 7 64-bit or Win XP ( ).Linux: (dirver is not needed, make sure you run Arduino as root, or add 1a86:7523 to udev rules).If OTA updates fails, you can still upload the firmware through USB instead. Upload Firmware:Īs OSBeeWiFi firmware supports OTA (over-the-air) update, it's highly recommended that you upload the firmware through the web interface. The compiled firmware (named ) by default exists in a temporary folder. Tools -> Board -> Generic ESP8266 Module (if this is not available, check if you've installed the ESP8266 core).File -> Examples -> OSBeeWiFi -> osbeeMain.Next, copy the Blynk, SSD1306, and OSBeeWiFi libraries to your Arduino's 'libraries' subfolder.
#Esp8266 firmware update instructables download
Go to to download and install the Arduino software. To compile the code, simply run 'make' in the OSBeeWiFi folder to compile the programs. The OSBeeWiFi source files has an example Makefile which you can modify to match your specific ESP8266 path. Then download and copy the Blynk, and SSD1306libraries to the 'libraries' subfolder in your home folder's Arduino directory. If you are familiar with Makefile, I highly recommend you to use makeEspArduino:įollow the instructions to install ESP8266 core files.
