# ESP-Miner
esp-miner is open source ESP32 firmware for the [Bitaxe](https://github.com/skot/bitaxe)
If you are looking for premade images to load on your Bitaxe, check out the [releases](https://github.com/skot/ESP-Miner/releases) page. Maybe you want [instructions](https://github.com/skot/ESP-Miner/blob/master/flashing.md) for loading factory images.
# Bitaxetool
We also have a command line python tool for flashing Bitaxe and updating the config called Bitaxetool
**Bitaxetool Requires Python3.4 or later and pip**
Install bitaxetool from pip. pip is included with Python 3.4 but if you need to install it check
```
pip install --upgrade bitaxetool
```
The bitaxetool includes all necessary library for flashing the binary file to the Bitaxe Hardware.
You need to provide a config.cvs file (see repo for examples) and the appropiate firmware.bin file in it's executed directory.
- Flash with the bitaxetool
```
bitaxetool --config ./config.cvs --firmware ./esp-miner-factory-v2.0.3.bin
```
## AxeOS API
The esp-miner UI is called AxeOS and provides an API to expose actions and information.
For more details take a look at `main/http_server/http_server.c`.
Things that can be done are:
- Get System Info
- Get Swarm Info
- Update Swarm
- Swarm Options
- System Restart Action
- Update System Settings Action
- System Options
- Update OTA Firmware
- Update OTA WWW
- WebSocket
Some API examples in curl:
```bash
# Get system information
curl http://YOUR-BITAXE-IP/api/system/info
```
```bash
# Get swarm information
curl http://YOUR-BITAXE-IP/api/swarm/info
```
```bash
# System restart action
curl -X POST http://YOUR-BITAXE-IP/api/system/restart
```
## Administration
The firmware hosts a small web server on port 80 for administrative purposes. Once the Bitaxe device is connected to the local network, the admin web front end may be accessed via a web browser connected to the same network at `http://`, replacing `IP` with the LAN IP address of the Bitaxe device, or `http://bitaxe`, provided your network supports mDNS configuration.
