Updating nodeMCU firmware builds for SparkFun ESP32 Thing #96

Closed Cyberfonic closed 3 years ago

Cyberfonic commented 3 years ago

The ESP32 Thing has a 26MHz xtal and thus the cloud built firmware doesn't work correctly. The recommended solution is to build using Docker based build environment. It worked fine for me back in April 2020.

I have the need to update the firmware so I followed the instructions on NodeMCU firmware page but I ended up making a hash of it. Mainly because my git expertise is abysmal. I ended up wiping my old build directory and starting afresh.

Would have preferred to have some notes on how to accomplish a refresh of the firmware build directory. Any chance that the above page could include some instructions to that effect?

the above page

Does this refer to the README of this project or the NodeMCU documentation?

I'm referring specifically to the instructions on: https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelstoer/nodemcu-build/

They are good for first time use. But due to my lack of experience with git, I was unable to correctly update the files.
