 ## 🚀 How to Get Started
 
-Flash the Firmware: Download the pre-built firmware binary for Heltec V3 and flash it using Adafruit ESPTool.
-Install [PlatformIO](https://docs.platformio.org) in Visual Studio Code (optional for developers who want to modify the firmware).
+Andy Kirby has published a very useful [intro video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1qne8uJBAc) which explains the steps for beginners.
