To set up the ESP32 for use with 01, follow this guide to install the firmware:

1. Download [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software).

2. Get the firmware by copying the contents of [client.ino](https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/01/blob/main/software/source/clients/esp32/src/client/client.ino) from the 01 repository.

3. Open Arduino IDE and paste the client.ino contents.

<div style={{ display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
  <Image

    alt="Paste client.ino contents"
    width="45%"
    style={{ marginRight: '10px' }}
  />

    width="45%"
    style={{ marginLeft: '10px' }}
  />
</div>

4. Go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager, search "esp32", then install the boards by Arduino and Espressif.
