The master branch of the eink-calendar github repository now defaults to Bluetooth configuration sent over Bluetooth by an Android app.

Please read more about how the process goes here: 

https://cale.es/firmware-bluetooth

It basically sends all configuration needed to the ESP32, screen URL and WiFi configuration, to the ESP32 in an easy step after scanning a QR code to list your screens in the App. This Android app and Bluetooth configuration that works in a few clicks is for us the state-of-the-art configuration for IoT devices.

No WiFi managers, no hardcoded C config, just send your Firmware the config per Bluetooth and let it restart and do it's job. This will allow us to ship pre-assembled displays withouth the need to have the user installing compiling tools on his computer and ultimately leating CALE be used by a broad amount of non-technical people that just wants it's functionality but not it's complexity.
