Zen robotics build kit is a robot build system. Here are the BOM and CAD models.
Hold off on installing an IDE. We'll tell you about IDEs in class on Monday. You can start soldering and building.
Install arduino for your platform with the ESP32 toolchain set up
Program the RCCTL example and follow these instructions to connec to to network
