  ## Getting Started
  
  Follow these steps to set up OpenGlass:
  
  ### Hardware
  
  1. Gather the required components:
     - Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense
     - EEMB LP502030 3.7v 250mAH battery
     - 3D printed glasses mount case
  
  2. 3D print the glasses mount case using the provided STL file.
  
  3. Open the firmware folder and open the `.ino` file in the Arduino IDE.
     - If you don't have the Arduino IDE installed, download and install it from the official website.
     - Alternatively, follow the steps in the [firmware readme](firmware/readme.md) to build using `arduino-cli`
  
  4. Follow the software preparation steps to set up the Arduino IDE for the XIAO ESP32S3 board:
     - Add ESP32 board package to your Arduino IDE:
       - Navigate
