5. Memo / Trial & Error

• Set to ESP32 Dev Module in IDE.
• Button on right side of the microusb port should be pressed when uploading code. Press the other button to reboot after uploading.
• You should set COM port as "send" on the device when you connect to ESP32 (Windows).
• Quit openFrameworks app (ofApp) that gets serial data before uploading data to ESP32.
• Haptic feedback of LilyPad Vibe Board feels a little bit weak on wrist. But still stronger than Qwiic Haptic Driver DA7280.
• Qwiic 6DoF Gyro/Acc LSM6DSO library and Qwiic Haptic Driver DA7280 library crashes on arduino ide
