Secrets Management

So that I don't commit all my secrets into github, I have a file secrets.json where I keep all of my secrets. I can then load it in with the following snippet:

with open('secrets.json') as fp:
    secrets = ujson.loads(fp.read())

I've included a example_secrets.py file to give you an idea of what yours should look like. You can then access it like so:

print(secrets['wifi']['ssid'])

Flashing ESP8266

The Makefile has a target to flash the esp8266 firmware. To use, download the firmware (use make download on a mac) and set the ESP_FIRMWARE to the location of the file. Also set your ESP_PORT. See examples below to change for one time use.

$ make flash_esp8266
$ ESP_PORT=/dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 make flash_esp8266
