ESP8266 NTP Server Setup Guide

Welcome to the ESP8266 NTP Server project! This guide will help you set up and use the ESP8266 module to synchronize time using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

📚 Support and References

🛠 Getting Started

Clone the Repository

Follow these steps to clone the project and navigate to the ESP8266 directory:

git clone https://github.com/universalbit-dev/universalbit-dev.git
cd universalbit-dev/ESP8266

🌐 What is ESP8266?

The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability, ideal for IoT projects.

⏰ ESP8266 NTP Server

Synchronize your device’s time using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). This project provides a ready-to-use sketch for creating your own NTP server.

⚠️ Important Note

When uploading sketches to your ESP8266, use a USB data cable. Some cables are designed only for charging and will not allow data transfer.

🔧 Hardware Requirements

D1 Mini

ESP8266 The D1 Mini ESP8266 is a compact, Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller perfect for this project.

⚡ How to Upload the Firmware: Instead of setting up the bulky Arduino IDE, you can compile and flash the firmware directly from your terminal using our automated, interactive deployment script. This tool handles compiler installation, hardware auto-detection, and flashing under the hood:
```
# 1. Make the script executable
chmod +x esp8266_ntp.sh

# 2. Run the interactive menu
./esp8266_ntp.sh
```
