Installing the ESP32 board library.

As the lights run on an ESP32 and that board is not in the default installation, you need to add a board library.

Go to File->Preferences and add this to the box labelled 'Additional Boards Manager URL'

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

Then you can go to Tools->Board->Board Manager

This will open up a window from which you can install the ESP32 library. Enter ESP32 in the search bar and you should see an entry by Espressif Systems available.
