Flashing process - manuaal

[Netoperz]

Hello, I've been looking in to the files, and I have a little problem with finding the flashing instructions.
The project uses NODE MCU board, but it can be done with any ESP module.

So maby there should be done a tutorial "step by step"

Download this, install this, use that flasher, compile that, flash this to that offset, ad so.

because for someone who wnats to play with ESP the instructions are not clear. User is cloning/downloading repo and hits the wall. especially in a ESP world where you can find many IDE/flashers/firmwares and so on.
Maby a form of sketch for arduino IDE would be good ?

Maby we should add that step by step flashing to the main page, that could help a lot.

Also the list of the tools /compilers needed to proper compilation would be good. and maby precompiled .bin's
cheers.

Yea that sounds great! If you put one together, please send me a pull-request and I'd be happy to add it to the documentation.

I'll try to do that in free time, no problem. It would be nice to help with something.

One last question, could you add to the repo precompiled firmware ready to flash ?

It could have some "default" pin config, for NodeMCU or "clean" module.

ESP has got hardware spi on GPIO12,13,14,15 plus two other additional pins, let's say gpio9 and 10 or gpio2 and 16 (to let the GPIO5 &4 for I2C for other peripherials when needed.

If someone wants to check the software in a fast way could be helpful. Then if the project is a thing the person needs it could be compiled according to the needs.

What do you think ?

I would be happy to have always actual build in repo ready to use, can you do that ?

And Is it possible to add actual version of esp-link with mqtt ?

There is a pre-compiled firmware package in the releases link: https://github.com/happy-bubbles/nfc/releases
