Version the First
Overview
This release contains binary files for my ITS1A Clock. They won't work for anything else. There are two files:
- ITS1A.bin - this is the executable code
- spiffs.bin - this is the web GUI
Installation (Abbreviated version)
OK, so this isn't the first time you've done this. These are the commands you need to remember:
esptool -cd ck -cb 115200 -cp <port name> -ca 0 -cf ITS1A.bin
esptool -cd ck -cb 115200 -cp <port name> -ca 0xBB000 -cf spiffs.bin
Installation (Full Version)
This is the step-by-step guide:
- You will need a programming tool for the ESP-01. If you socketed the ESP-01 you can remove it from the clock (turn it off first!) and insert it into the programmer. Or you can use the header on the clock itself.
- Download esptool-ck for your platform and unzip/untar/whatever it somewhere. You will use this to upload the bin files to the clock.
- Download these bin files and put the in the same folder (for convenience).
- Plug the programmer into you computer's USB port and the other end into the clock or ESP-01.
- Figure out what the serial port is called - you will need to know this to upload the files. On windows you can a command shell and type mode to find out.
- In the shell you just opened, change directory to where esptool is.
- Upload the binary file with this command - change the -cp value to whatever your serial port is called - here it is called COM10.
esptool -cd ck -cb 115200 -cp COM10 -ca 0 -cf ITS1A.bin
You should see some text saying it is uploading, and a bunch of dots. - Upload the spiffs, again replace COM10 with whatever your serial port is called:
esptool -cd ck -cb 115200 -cp COM10 -ca 0xBB000 -cf spiffs.bin
