How to compile

The best success is to use PlatformIO (and it is the only platform where I can support you).

Go to PlatformIO download and install the IDE.
If installed open the IDE, go to the left side and klick on 'extensions' then search for 'PatformIO' and install.
When installed click 'the ant head' on the left and choose import the project on the right.
Just open the folder and you can compile the Firmware.

Configuration

You can find all nessesary settings to change for your configuration in data/is-cfg.json.
To upload it to your board you have to do this via Upload File System image in PlatformIO!
To find the 'Upload File System image' click the PlatformIO symbol (the little alien) on the left side, choos your configuration, click on 'Platform' and search for 'Upload File System image'.
