  Configure Network

  I assume the Spotify Connect device is functional and visible as a "device" in the Spotify interface (or API).

  This is for NFC reader portion.
  

  Factory reset if need:

  1. Remove power
  2. Hold down button A (or both if you don't know)
  3. Apply power
  4. Release button A
  5. Press button 0 (boot select button on PCB next to ESP32 module)
  6. Release button 0
  7. Wait 10 seconds
  8. Remove power
  9. Apply power and you are in factory reset state

  Configure Network:

  1. Apply power
  2. Join WifiManager SSID with PSK `tayfunulu`
  3.  Navigate to http://192.168.4.1
  4. Select SSID
  5. Enter WLAN PSK
  6. Submit

  Configure Spotify API

  This requires a client which supports mDNS addresses. Most major web browsers and operating systems support mDNS. I have tested with Firefox on Fedora 36.
  

  1. Navigate to Spotify config address of device indicated on OLED
  2. Enter Spotify API client id: 4efe77ff069f45a79d7cc3279e2ba870
  3. Enter Spotify Secret: 8d52b8bd5e8f48ed96987d07d76adf37
  4. Submit
  5. Wait for device to reboot (~10-20 seconds)
  6. Web browser may timeout
  7. Click "retry" on web browser after 10 seconds
  8. Select Spotify Connect device
  9. Submit
