Required software

Some quick points to do/install in order:

• You definitely need Arduino IDE
• You have to install the ESP32 framework 3.x for Arduino - follow this guide. Note: ESP32Kiln v1.5+ requires framework 3.x.
• Install ESP32FS plugin (drop it to ~/Arduino/tools/) - this allows uploading the SPIFFS data directory from Arduino IDE.

Install required additional libraries. Some are available from Arduino IDE Library Manager, others must be installed manually:

From Library Manager:

• PID_v1 - called "PID" by Brett Beauregard
• u8g2 - LCD driver
• EmonLib - only if you plan to use the power meter

Must install manually (git clone into your Arduino libraries folder):

• ESPAsyncWebServer

• AsyncTCP

• Syslog

• PID_AutoTune_v0 - for automatic PID tuning

• MAX31855 - must use this custom fork, which implements dual HSPI for ESP32

• Clone/Download the ESP32Kiln repository
