Installation Instructions

• Clone latest firmware (*.bin) file from this repository then use esptool.py command to flash firmware into chipset:

git clone https://github.com/dphans/Wi-Kit.git
cd Wi-Kit
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partitions.bin 0xe000 boot_app0.bin  0x10000 wikit_firmware_*
cd ..
rm -rf Wi-Kit

Please note that need to change correct port of your USB connection. In bash script above, I'm using /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART, it may be difference with your computer.

• Connect chipset to power supply.
• After boot screen. Press PRG button for 2 seconds (until screen shown AP Mode). In this time, Wi-Kit will switch into Access Point mode. You will found a new Wireless network nearby with name Wi-Kit.
