Hi, the basic compile and upload procedure isn't much different than other ESP8266 project.

  1. Download Visual Studio Code
  2. Download PlatformIO-Extension (in VSCode itself => View => Extensions)
  3. Download this Repo and extract on your hard drive
  4. File => Open Folder => Lightpainter on your HDD
  5. Connect Your e.g. NodeMCU Board to your computer
  6. Click on the AlienSymbol on the left (PlatformIO) and click upload

Thats basically it
