# 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 ttyUSB0Connect 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## Hardware Setup * GPIO2 LEDs * GPIO0 Bootloader (at start) * GPIO0 factory reset (long during operation) ## MQTT Interface * **basetopic**/cmd/single * ON **Set brightness to 100%** * OFF **Set brightness to 0%** * 0-100 **Set brightness to given value** * #rrggbb **Background color is set to hex representation of red, green and blue** * 0-255,0-255,0-255 **Background color is set to decimal representation of red, green an blue** * **basetopic**/cmd/telnet * ignored **Stop MQTT server and start telnetserver at port 23** ## OpenHAB2 Tested MQTT with binding-mqtt 2.5.x ### Configuration ``` Thing mqtt:topic:wordclock "Wordclock" (mqtt:broker) @ "MQTT" { Channels: Type dimmer : dim "Dimming" [ stateTopic="basetopic/brightness", commandTopic="basetopic/cmd/single" ] Type string : cmd "Command" [ commandTopic="basetopic/cmd/single" ] Type switch : active "Active" [ commandTopic="basetopic/cmd/single" ] Type colorRGB : background "Background" [ stateTopic="basetopic/background", commandTopic="basetopic/cmd/single", on="28,0,0", off="0,0,0" ] } ```
