Pre-requisites

Blinky for ESP32 LilyGO T-Beam

This example contains displaying GPS from uBlox Neo-6M module on the serial monitor on a ESP-32 based LilyGO T-Beam T22_V1.1, 20191212. Pins IO12 is used as TX and pin IO34 is used as RX as shown in the schematic for V1.1.

Flash the firmware with the make command.
