+# ESP-AT Driver
+
+This package provides a driver to use a separate connected WiFi processor either the ESP8266 or the ESP32 from Espressif. 
+
+The way this driver works is by using the UART interface to communicate with the WiFi chip using the Espressif AT command set.
+
+## ESP-AT Firmware Installation
+
+In order to use this driver, you must have the ESP-AT firmware installed on the ESP8266/ESP32 chip.
+
+### Installing on ESP32
+
+The official repository for the ESP-AT for the ESP32 processor is located here:
+
+https://github.com/espressif/esp32-at
+
+Your best option is to follow the instructions in the official repo.
+
+### Installing on ESP8266
+
+The official repository for the AT command set firmware for the ESP8266 processor is located here:
+
+https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK
+
+First clone the repo:
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK.git
+```
+
+You will also need to install the Espressif `esptool` to flash this firmware on your ESP8266:
+
+https://github.com/espressif/esptool
+
+Once you have obtained the binary code, and installed `esptool`, you can flash the ESP8266.
+
+Here is an example shell script that flashes a Wemos D1 Mini board:
+
+
+```python
+#!/bin/sh
+SPToolDir="$HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
+FirmwareDir="$HOME/Development/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK"
+cd "$SPToolDir"
+port=/dev/ttyUSB0
+if [ ! -c $port ]; then
+   port=/dev/ttyUSB0
+fi
+if [ ! -c $port ]; then
+   echo "No device appears to be plugged in.  Stopping."
+fi
+printf "Writing AT firmware to the Wemos D1 Mini in 3..."
+sleep 1; printf "2..."
+sleep 1; printf "1..."
+sleep 1; echo "done."
+echo "Erasing the flash first"
+esptool.py --port $port erase_flash
+esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 \
+   write_flash -fm dio -ff 20m -fs detect \
+   0x0000 "$FirmwareDir/bin/boot_v1.7.bin" \
+   0x01000 "$FirmwareDir/bin/at/512+512/user1.1024.new.2.bin" \
+   0x3fc000 "$FirmwareDir/bin/esp_init_data_default_v05.bin"  \
+   0x7e000 "$FirmwareDir/bin/blank.bin" \
+   0x3fe000 "$FirmwareDir/bin/blank.bin"
+
+echo "Check the boot by typing: miniterm $port 74800"
+echo " and then resetting.  Use Ctrl-] to quit miniterm."
+
+```
