 2. Device Network Setting
2.1 Query Local IP Address
Open ImageToWiFi software, and the status bar will automatically retrieve the IP address of the current computer. Through this, you can know the current network segment. The IP address in the following figure is 192.168.5.7, and the network segment is ‘5’ (this network segment will be used when setting the device WiFi). Change the network segment in the software to 5. Display local computer IP address:

 2.2 Install Arduino Program Editing Software
This development board adopts serial port to download programs, which requires Arduino programming software, type-C cable, CH340 driver and esp32_package_v1_0_2 firmware package and python-2.7.17 plug-in.
The operation steps are as follows:
1) For the first download, install CH340 driver and ESP32 on the computer_package_v1_0_2 firmware package, python-2.7.17 plug-in.
2) Firmware package: esp32_package_v1_0_2. The unzipped file name is espressif. Unzip the espressif folder and put it in the arduino/hardware directory. During installation, the Arduino programming software must be closed, and the firmware package can also be searched directly in the Arduino library manager.
3)Use the default installation path for CH340 driver and python-2.7.17 plug-in.
4) Run the program file get.exe in esp32/tools(you must have installed the python plug-in).

7) Set in ‘tools’
Click position 1 to select the development board model’WEMOS LOLIN32′
Click position 2 to select serial port baud rate ‘115200’
Click position 3 to select COM port.
Click position 4 to select the programmer model, and here select’AVRISP mkII’
Click position 5Â Â to compile the program
Click position 6Â Â to download the program to the development board.
After the downloading, first power off the development board, connect the electronic paper display screen to the adapter board, and then power on again so that E-paper can display normally.
Note: if the compiler prgmpts ‘invalid library found’ during program compilation, please ignore this prompt, which will not affect the actual program download.

2.3 Device WiFi SettingÂ
The customer needs to put the WiFi user name, password, network segment and IP number, of which the network segment ” is the field automatically identified by imagetowifi above, and the IP number range is 201~210. Different device numbers cannot be repeated. At present, up to 10 groups of devices are supported to be online at the same time. After setting the parameters, download the program to the corresponding device according to the above down steps.
