INSTRUCTIONS: 

Install "arduino IDE" software on your PC/LAPTOP - https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360019833020-Download-and-install-Arduino-IDE

Install the board drivers - https://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_EXE.html

Launch IDE and install the following libraries:

• WiFi.h
• WiFiManager.h
• WiFiClientSecure.h
• HTTPClient.h
• ArduinoJson.h
• Preferences.h
• SPI.h
• TFT_eSPI.h
• cmath

Click the “Sketch” tab“ - "include library” - Manage libraries

Now, search the name of each library listed above and install them.

Go to: “Documents - arduino - libraries - TFT_eSPI” and find the file “user_setup.h”.

Delete the file and replace it for the one that is inside the ZIP file, then change the extension from".txt" for “.h”

Finally, we are ready to enter the code.

The code is inside of the ZIP file, please change the extension of PLANE_RADAR_NM from “.txt” to “.ino” and open it.

Verify the code and upload it to ESP32 board.

Enjoy !
