Initial Setup using PlatformIO

Follow the steps below to perform a fresh upload to an Arduino/Waveshare Nano ESP32-S3:

1. Build Partition and Firmware Binary

2. Flash the partitions.bin file to address 0x8000 using the following command:

   esptool.py --port $UPLOAD_PORT --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 16MB 0x8000 partitions.bin

3. Upload firmware.bin to address 0x10000 (factory)

4. Upload littlefs.bin to address 0x190000 (SPIFFS)

To Upload to a "normal" ESP32 model, pick the appropriate board in the platformio.ini file together with platformIO's integrated "Upload" and "upload filesystem" functions

Dont forget to pick the right COM-Port!

To-Do

• make use of the default ESP32-S3 partition (for some reason, the default "factory" part is to small)
• Evaluating the data packets from LokSim3D-Server and setting the outputs accordingly
• Store Config in Header-Files instead of using Filesystem
