Enivronment Setup Notes:

• So far only tested with the Positive Grid Spark 40 Amp
• Pi version has so far only tested to run on the latest Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit lite image on Pi Zero W and Pi 4B (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md).
• ESP32 Setup: https://github.com/jrnelson90/tinderboxpedal/wiki/ESP32-Arduino-Core-Setup-for-TinderBox-ESP-v0.3.1
• Raspberry Pi OS Lite Setup: https://github.com/jrnelson90/tinderboxpedal/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-OS-Lite-Setup
• Please check your specific ESP32 dev board pinouts if attempting to use this version.

On client, edit tinderbox.py or tinderbox.ino to match your GPIO mapping or OLED screen type before running. On demo server (to run on another Pi if you don't have a Spark yet), edit demoLedServer.py to match your LED GPIO mapping before running.

Basic Schematics:

ESP32 Schematic

In this code pins 4, 5, 18, and 19 are used for button input. Your ESP32 dev board's GPIO layout may be different, so please double-check after wiring and before running!
