EQMOD-ETX/Software
ozarchie 2d41381b0e Update for VSCode
Change to code base to use:
1. VSCode for intellisense etc
2. Platformio for library management.
The code still compiles under arduino, but requires that the correct libraries are selected/loaded.

EQMOD

EQMOD does not support WiFi communications natively.

It needs a Serial<->WiFi bridge.

If you want to use EQMOD, you need to build the

  • [EQMOD-WiFi Project](https://github.com/ozarchie/EQMOD-WiFi "Title")
    interface and code.  
    
  • Plug the EQMOD-WiFi device into a USB port
  • Configure CdC/EQMOD to use the USB serial port associated with the EQMOD-WiFi
  • The EQMOD-WiFi and EQMOD-ETX will handle the WiFi communications using ESP-NOW
