ENH: Add a way to install TWatchSK w/o PlatformIO (maybe in TWatchSK Designer?)

ba58smith commented 3 years ago

Most users of TWatchSK will not want to contribute development effort to it - they'll just want to use it. It would be nice if it could be installed by a user without having to install PlatformIO and clone the TWatchSK Git repo, and build it. From a conversation w/ @JohnySeven on 12 Oct, 2021:

Maybe add the option to install the TWatchSK binary to the TWatchSK Designer program?
Possibly just add documentation to the README for how to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluino.esp32loader or https://github.com/espressif/esptool
Possibly automate the process of building the binary after every merge to the master branch.

Thanks will look into it.

Found esptool for Windows, Linux and Mac OS at https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/releases So my plan is to have esptool for specific OS bundled with Designer.

Steps:

Download latest version of TWatchSK firmware
Detect serial port or allow user to pick one from drop down
Run esptool to erase flash and upload new firmware

Will report further progress.

As this is done and tested on all 3 platforms it's done!
