DONOFF first boot

When you start the DONOFF for the first time, it has no configuration file and no credentials for your WiFi network. It therefore starts its own WiFi Access Point (AP) and waits for you to connect your computer to this AP.

Select the WiFi network with a name such as "DONOFF 12:A3:45:6D:8F:F1". (the weird numbers are the unique MAC address of this ESP8266).
If you select this WiFi AP, you will get a WiFi configuration page as shown in the picture on the right. Select your WiFi network, enter the password of this network and click [Save].

The DONOFF will now restart. Using a browser, go to "DONOFFnew.local". That is the default hostname if DONOFF cannot find a configuration file. Change this hostname to something else (otherwise you will have problems setting up new DONOFFs!) After which you will see the configuration page (see the Introduction). Fill out all fields. If this is your first or only DONOFF, make it a Slave. When you have filled in all fields, click on [Save configuration]. The DONOFF will reboot and after a while you will see the control page of the DONOFF!

However, most of his working life he has worked in automation where he has worked in just about all disciplines from programmer to project leader and project manager. Willem was one of the first Dutchmen with a micro-computer (KIM-1, 1976) at a time when the PC had yet to be invented. Nowadays he is mainly concerned with the design and production of small electronic circuits with microprocessors. His 'mission in life' is to make people enthusiastic about making their own electronic circuits, microcomputers and programming.
