# Initialise base project
#
platformio init --board %TYPE%(see above)
# for example, initialise project for Espressif Generic ESP8266 ESP-01
platformio init --board esp01

# The next files/directories will be created in myproject
# platformio.ini - Project Configuration File. |-> PLEASE EDIT ME <-|
# src - Put your source files here
# lib - Put here project specific (private) libraries
# Do you want to continue? [y/N]: Y
```

- Place your source code to `src` directory
