Instructions for compiling firmware for wireless upload? #1

Closed Patronics closed 4 years ago

Patronics commented 4 years ago

Could you provide instructions (or a link to some) for how to compile the firmware to upload to the clock? I've programmed a slight modification to add an option to hide the leading zero digit from the display, which I'll submit as a pull request once I figure out how to compile it and verify that it works.

Did you use the Arduino IDE directly, or PlatformIO, or something else? Any instructions or tips would be appreciated.

I figured it out, but this project could still benefit from instructions and a list of required libraries. Here's a start at documenting the requirements:

Follow these instructions to install the ESP32 boards into the arduino IDE, https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/boards_manager.md

Set the board to "ESP32 Dev module" in the Boards Menu,

install the required libraries, including (but not necessarily limited to)

Compile code to verify changes,

Then Go to the Sketch menu > and click Export Compiled Binary Upload the .bin file created using the web UI

That about sums it up, glad you got it working!
