    First non-dev release of CanGrow Firmware v0.1 branch

    I would call this the first "official" release, which is usable. It does not (yet) contain all functions and features I planned to implement, but those will come with v0.2 of the firmware, which is already in progress for about a month now.

    CanGrow Firmware v0.1.0 is made for the CanGrow PCB, but you can of course run it with your own hardware. Firmware v0.2 will be fully platform independent.

    Setup

    Perform a factory reset, after you have flashed the firmware to your ESP8266 (for the first time or having problem like crash loops)!

    You perform a factory reset (wipe) by connecting Pin D4 with GND (WIPE on the CanGrow PCB) when the builtin LED of the ESP8266 blinks three times during start. Hold for three seconds, then release. The builtin LED should now flash faster and the ESP should restart.
    Now you will see an open unprotected Wifi called CanGrow-unconfigured, connect to it and open the address http://192.168.4.20 and you can now start setup up your CanGrow device :)
