1. Acquire a firmware binary (bin)

Use a pre-built bin (Beginner-Advanced)

StarBase release or StarLight release
StarBase latest or StarLight latest
Click on the latest workflow run, scroll down to Artifacts, then download the bin file * Currently only esp32dev builds can be found here

Build your own bin (Intermediate-Advanced)

Compile a bin using StarBase source code or StarLight source code via VSCode and PIO. * The following builds are available using VSCode:

2. Flash StarMod an ESP32 board

Flash the unzipped "firmware.bin" to an ESP32 module using ESP Flasher
Unzip/extract the "firmware.bin" from the downloaded folder, then flash it to your connected ESP32 module

3. Set up the StarMod instance

Find the "StarBase" WiFi network broadcasted by the ESP32 and connect (no password needed)
The StarMod adaptive portal will show the setup tab. Alternatively, go to 4.3.2.1
