-Starts a FreeRTOS task to turn on all LEDs
+This demo project shows how to build an ESP IDF project that can be used to port existing ESP32-S3
+software to the flow3r. This is useful if you have an application that does not fit in the default
+flow3r application framework, which is based on MicroPython.
+
+Binaries created with this template can be run by selecting them in flow3r's recovery mode. They
+will replace the default flow3r application in that case.
+
+This demo starts a FreeRTOS task and turns on all LEDs to "Go Green".
