# Hierarchichal Finite State Machine (HFSM) Example This example shows an example of running the below HFSM on an ESP32 in a real-world scenario (e.g. spawning events from one or more threads and running the HFSM in its own thread) as well as in a test-bench scenario (e.g. running a CLI to manually spawn events and trace the execution). For more information, see [webgme-hfsm](https://github.com/finger563/webgme-hfsm).  ## How to use example ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output Running the HFSM in a task and sending events to it:  Running the test bench:
