May the force be with you!

Setup to Modify Firmware

1. Install Arduino
2. Install ESP32 Boards (by Espressif, not Arduino!)
3. Install the following libraries:

• Arduino_JSON by Arduino
• AsyncTCP by dvarrel, forked from me-no-dev
• ESPAsyncWebServer by lacamera
• ESP32Servo by Kevin Harrington, John K. Bennett
• Adafruit_NeoPixel by Adafruit

4. Choose the correct board and COM PORT

• The board we are using is the DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1

5. Configure your network SSID and Password, and copy config.h to the robot-webserver folder.
6. Run, and go to whatever IP is printed to control the bot. Your device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
