Compiling

How to compile

The best success is to use PlatformIO. Go to PlatformIO and download the IDE. Just open the folder and you can compile the Firmware.

Dependencies

But you don't need to download all this libs, PlatformIO will take care for you ;)

Configuration

Change your configuration in data/is-cfg.json and upload it via 'Upload File System image' in PlatformIO! To find the 'Upload File System image' click the PlatformIO symbol (the little alien) on the left side, choos your configuration, click on 'Platform' and search for 'Upload File System image'.
