Step 1: Build and Flash to ESP32

• Download and in stall espressif ide from https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/index.html
• Run 'idf.py build' to build the project
• Run 'idf.py flash' to flash it to an ESP32

Step 2: Flash to VESC

• Flash the file vesc-code.lisp to your VESC using the VESC-Tool under the the LISP tab inside the 'VESC Dev Tools' section. You probably need the VESC-6 firmware and a VESC-6-compatible hardware.
