Wi-Fi Setup Guide¶
The PSLab v6 supports wireless connectivity via an ESP-01 Wi-Fi module. This allows you to connect to the PSLab hardware without any USB cables. Wi-Fi connectivity is supported across all platforms, including Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web.
Follow these instructions to connect your PSLab over Wi-Fi.
Prerequisites¶
- Attach the ESP-01: Ensure that the ESP-01 chip is securely attached to the dedicated ESP-01 socket on your PSLab board.
- Flash the Firmware: The ESP-01 module must be flashed with the correct PSLab Wi-Fi firmware. (See the flashing guide for detailed firmware flashing instructions if your chip is not already pre-flashed).
Connection Steps¶
Once your hardware is ready, follow these steps to establish a connection:
- Power the PSLab: Provide power to the PSLab board. The ESP-01 module will begin broadcasting its own Wi-Fi network (SSID).
- Connect to the Network: Open your device's main Wi-Fi settings (on your phone or computer) and connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcasted by the PSLab's ESP-01 chip.
- Open the PSLab App: Launch the PSLab application on your preferred platform.
- Navigate to Connect Device: Go to the Connect Device screen within the app and select the Wi-Fi option.
- Connect: Click the Connect button on the Wi-Fi screen.
The application will now communicate wirelessly with your PSLab hardware!
