Installing Firmware via OTA

Installing Firmware via OTA

The original ESP32 Marauder firmware uses many libraries and a few IDF modifications. To avoid having to install and configure all of these libraries, this option allows the user to install a very basic firmware to the ESP32. This firmware will not involve any additional libraries or configurations and it will allow the user to install the precompiled Marauder binary via a web browser.

1. Follow the instructions under Arduino IDE Setup
2. Open the Arduino IDE
3. Plug your ESP32 into a USB port and select the COM port under Tools>Port
4. Select the appropriate ESP32 module under Tools>Boards
   • Select LOLIN D32 for the following:
     • Marauder v4 (OG)
     • Marauder v6
