MANUAL
Designated use
This quick start guide shows how
to connect the board to your home
network and to start the integra-
ted sample programs.
First, you have to provide the
board with electric power. For this
purpose, standard USB chargers
with a minimum current of 300 mA
are suitable. A short while after
connecting the board to the power
source, the board will light up in
yellow. The board now generates
its own wireless network named
NodeESP. Connect another
device e.g a PC or a smartphone
with this network and enter
http://192.168.4.1/ in a browser to
open the internal webpage of the
board. Here, click
Board Configu-
ration. On the resulting subpage,
you can change all settings of the
board. Click
WIFI Station Settings.
The board now looks for WiFi
networks within reach. After a
short while, you can select your
network from the list and enter its
password in the bottom text field.
If your network is not listed, e.g.
because it is hidden or not within
reach, you can manually enter
the access data in the respective
fields. When you now click
Submit,
the board restarts and tries to
establish a connection to the net-
work that you have configured. If
this process completes successful-
ly, the LED lights up in green after
flashing for a short while.
As an alternative to the web page,
you can use the WPS feature.
Press the Boot button (the one at
the battery connection) and hold
it for approx. 10 seconds. The LED
on the board begins to flash in
yellow. Now press the WPS button
on your router. After a short while,
the board will light up in green
and establish a connection to your
home network by itself.
Now you can address the board
in your home network. To this
end, you can use the IP address
indicated at the top of the configu-
ration page, or you can install the
Bonjour service by Apple (
https://
support.apple.com/de-de/bonjour).
In the latter case, the address of
the board is http://nodeesp.local/.
You can change this address on
the configuration page under
General Settings
ª
mDNS
Name Settings.
The board comes with a number
of apps that you can test. Navi-
gate to the configuration page.
Under
Application-Settings, first
select a set of examples and then
a specific example. For instance,
if you select the set
Example-Apps
and then the program [OnBoard
RGB-LED Example], the board
restarts with a program that
allows you to control the color of
the on-board RGB LED manually.
Some of the apps (including the
LED app) have a web page that
you can find on the main page
under
Application Page. This link
only appears in programs with an
application page.
The web page of the LED app
includes a color picker that allows
you to control the color of the
LED. Additionally, the description
of most programs (which you can
find on the configuration page
under
Currently Running) includes
internal or external links leading to
further information like the setup
diagram and an explanation of the
control commands.
An extended version of the quick
start guide as well as further
information and instructions to
program the board on your own
can be found at

de. On this project page, you can
use the commentary function
beneath specific articles and the
forum in general to get help when
something does not work
as expected.
