An esp32 based discord bot light-like. On the shoulders of giants; project built off abobija's esp32-discord library written in C.
esp32 is a microcrontroller (kinda like arduino) manufactured by espressif.
The bot lives on the microcontroller and uses built-in WiFi to connect to discord.
This v1 version is hardcoded to connect to a guild server and a specific user. The bot must be invited to the server and allowed permission to see 'voice-state'.
The bot first connects to wifi then attempts to create a socket connection to the discord gateway api to receive 'voice-state' commands from the desired user. After the connection is made, it only listens to discord events when the user joins/exits a channel.
If the user voice-state object contains a channelID (meaning it is not null) they are in a voice channel. As of now we don't care what channel specifically, just that they are in one.
