Thanks Grant
I would like to tag a release (0.0.1?) and provide
them binaries so that they are shipping it with
firmware from a
particular commit. They should also be able to flash the SPIFFs with the web app, we
could provide
binaries for that as well. Then, you wouldn't necessarily need an SD card.
Sounds great, would it be a lot of work to create the binaries? Would make for an easier
install
whether or not we decide to allow Lilygo to sell directly.
then copy the contents of
web/static (`index.htm` and `bundle.js`) to the SD card. It's a fairly
straightforward process, but
I should create instructions.
Presumably these files are the same each time they are created? So we could just upload
the
compiled versions to Github for users to drag/drop onto a SD?
This group generally operates on a consensus basis, so
I'd be interested to hear what other people
who have been involved in its development think.
Great, would be good to hear from anyone who has concerns. The way I see it is that this
wouldn't
slow down or hinder efforts to create open hardware, but I realise others may have a
different
view.
p.s. I would also be cool to display something on the
OLED screen when it ships, haven't gotten
around to that idea though.
A scrolling ticker of the most recent messages would make the device usable without an
additional
device. Probably over complicated for now though..
