WiFi and MQTT configuration using the Luciferin Access Point - sblantipodi/firefly_luciferin GitHub Wiki

Connect to the WiFi and MQTT network (FULL firmware only).

This is an alternative way to store WiFi credentials on the microcontroller, the simplest solution is to use the web installer.

If you haven't configured WiFi using the Web Installer and thanks to Arduino Bootstrapper, Glow Worm Luciferin firmware starts an access point for easy configuration via a web browser.

Please connect to the access point, if you search for WiFi networks you will find your ESP device named GLOW_WORM, once connected go to http://192.168.4.1 and you will access a GUI where you can enter all the passwords without the needs of hardcoding them.

  1. Device Name: The device name you will use in Firefly Luciferin to point to your microcontroller. If you have multiple devices, choose a different device name.
  2. IP Address: The IP address that your ESP should use (this field is optional, if you leave it blank it will use DHCP).
  3. SSID: Your Wifi SSID, the name of your Wifi.
  4. Wifi Password: Your Wifi password
  5. OTA Password: You can use this password to update Luciferin via wireless.
  6. MQTT Server IP: The IP address of your MQTT server. (MQTT is optional)
  7. MQTT Server Port: The port of your MQTT server. (MQTT is optional)
  8. MQTT Username: The username you use to login to your MQTT server. (MQTT is optional)
  9. MQTT Password: Your MQTT password. (MQTT is optional)
  10. GPIO PIN FOR THE LED STRIP: The GPIO PIN you want to use to drive your LED strip (2, 3, 5 or 16).
    Please read here to understand what is the best GPIO for your use case.

Please double check your input before clicking the 'Store config' button. If you enter wrong data you need to reset the device or reflash the firmware.

Note: Access Point stops working when the WiFi credentials are stored into the microcontroller.

Once Glow Worm Luciferin firmware is configured, you need to configure the Firefly Luciferin PC client. How to here
