ESP32

Get the firmware by copying the contents of client.ino from the 01 repository.

Open Arduino IDE and paste the client.ino contents.

Hardcode your WiFi SSID, WiFi password, and server URL into the top of the client.ino file.

Hardcoding is recommended for a more streamlined setup and development environment. However, if you don’t hardcode these values or if the ESP32 can’t connect using the provided information, it will automatically default to a captive portal for configuration.

Go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager, search “esp32”, then install the boards by Arduino and Espressif.

Go to Tools -> Manage Libraries, then install the following:

• M5Atom by M5Stack (Reference)

• WebSockets by Markus Sattler (Reference)

• AsyncTCP by dvarrel (Reference)

• ESPAsyncWebServer by lacamera (Reference)

To flash the .ino to the board, connect the board to the USB port.

Select the port from the dropdown on the IDE, then select the M5Atom board (or M5Stack-ATOM if you have that).

Click on upload to flash the board.

Start the 01 server on your computer:

poetry run 01 --server light

This command starts the server and generates a URL.

For remote connections, use:

poetry run 01 --server light --expose

This generates a public URL accessible from anywhere.

Connect your 01 device to the server using one of these methods:

a) Hardcode credentials:

• Modify the Wi-Fi and server credentials at the top of the client.ino file.
• Flash the modified file to the ESP32.
• This method is quick but less flexible for changing details later.

b) Use the captive portal:

• Power on your 01 device.
• Connect to the ‘01-light’ Wi-Fi network from your computer or smartphone.
• A captive portal page should open automatically. If not, open a web browser.
• Enter your Wi-Fi details and the server URL from step 1.
• Click ‘Connect’ to save settings and connect your device.

After successful connection, your ESP32 will be ready to communicate with the server.
