I think the GUI and mobile app are important too. I don’t know shit about computers and running stuff off terminal seems like a nightmare.

You can get a link to the FOC_KING setup file, which you can copy-paste into the mesc firmware.

You can also clone my branch of the mesc code. Warning, I have moved a lot of stuff around - tried to organize it pseudo-object-oriented, made project files for VSCode, python-tool for visualizing realtime date. But it’s work in progress.

shell/terminal is actually way simpler, but it does take a little bit too learn. it’s trivial now with the chatbots. if i have a terminal up, people think im practicing some occult shit.
