Kabot ESP32-S3 firmware repository

What is this repo?

This is a scratchpad repo of new release of Kabot firmware for ESP32-S3 board. Key features:

• as simple setup as possible - just VSCode with Dev Containers plugin
• cross platform - Linux, and hopefully Windows and other *nix systems (other than linux untested)
• ease of development - built using PlatformIO

Running:

Follow those steps to set up development environment:

1. Install VSCode and Docker - we'll be using Dev Containers plugin, so follow instructions there.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kabot-io/kabot-s3-firmware.git

3. Open workspace in VSCode:

   code ./kabot-s3-firmware/kabot-s3.code-workspace

Say say yes to opening workspace in Dev Container.:

First build of the container may take quite a few minutes, depending on your Internet connection.

7. Type F1 -> PlatformIO: Build or Ctrl + Alt + B - first build may take a while - PlatformIO needs to download all its dependancies; toolchain, libraries, tools etc.

8. Connect Kabot to USB using USB-C cable.

9. Type F1 -> PlatformIO: Upload or Ctrl + Alt + U to upload firmware to board.

10. You are all set! Happy tinkering. You may start by looking into micro-ROS documentation.
