# ESP Wordclock ## Setup ### Initial Setup Install the firmware on the ESP: The ESP must be set into the bootloader mode, like [this](https://www.ccc-mannheim.de/wiki/ESP8266#Boot_Modi) The firmware can be downloaded with the following script:
cd os/
./flash.sh ttyUSB0
Connect to the ESP via a terminal emulator like screen using a baud rate of 115200. Then format the filesystem and reboot the ESP with the following commands:
file.format()
node.restart()
Then disconnect the serial terminal and copy the required files to the microcontroller:
./tools/initialFlash.sh /dev/ttyUSB0
### Upgrade Determine the IP address of your clock and execute the following script:
./tools/remoteFlash.sh IP-Address
