Add missing doc step to install espressif board support in ardunio #28

Closed mikeyyuen closed 2 years ago

mikeyyuen commented 2 years ago

Currenty documentation on https://phambili.tech/newt/ misses some steps for getting the arduino IDE to work.

Missing steps are

Configure the Espressif Boards in the Board Manager (if you've not already) by

  1. Opening the Preferences in the Arduino IDE

  2. Under Additional Board Manager URLs add the following it it doesn't already exist.

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

    If you have existing values in the URL list, you can add this one to the end of the list (note the list is comma seperated).

  3. Click ok once added.
  4. Under the Tools menu, choose Boards -> Boards Manager
  5. Search for esp32 then click install. This may take a few minutes.
  6. Once the install is complete close the board manager. You can now find the Newt's board under Tools -> Boards -> ESP32 Arduino -> ESP32S2 Native USB

Thanks @mikeyyuen - I'll get the documentation updated by the end of the month (Aug 2022)
