📦 Downloading the Miner

I downloaded the miner release from the official GitHub repo.
Inside the miner folder, you'll find the 📁 ESP8266_Code directory.

🛠️ Setting Up in Arduino IDE

  1. Open ESP8266_Code.ino using the Arduino IDE 🧰
  2. Change the following values:
  3. 🔐 SSID → your WiFi name
  4. 🔑 Password → your WiFi password
  5. 👤 DUCO username → your Duino Coin wallet name
  6. 💻 Rig name → optional, but helps to identify your miner Screenshot 1
  7. Go to Tools > Board and select:
    ✅ Generic ESP8266 Module Screenshot 2
  8. Select the COM port where the ESP is connected 🔌
