## Build instructions(v2):

- Use this esp-idf fork here: https://github.com/NathanReeves/esp-idf

- Set up the esp-idf environment: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/

- Get the BlueCubeModv2 firmware

- If you haven’t flashed an ESP32 project before, you need the port name of ESP32 for the config file. If using unix system, to get the port name of a USB device run:

`ls /dev`

- Find your device on the list and copy it. It should look something like: /dev/cu.usbserial-DO01EXOV or /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

- cd into project folder and run:

`make menuconfig`

- Paste your port name into Serial Flasher Config -> Default Serial Port

- Compile and flash the program, run:

`make flash monitor`
