Documentation needs a review

I’ve noticed a lot of the documention for Arduino is missing important steps - this can be frustrating for users.

The User Manual documention for the Nesso N1 (https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/nesso-n1/user-manual/) is missing an important piece of information for getting the device working with Arduino IoT Cloud. It never mentions needing to install and include Arduino_Nesso_N1.h. I don’t see it anywhere on the page. Without it, the example won’t compile. Big oversight.

Additionally, it says to update the ESP32 package from Espressif. That times out and won’t install. This seems to be a known issue as others have pointed out - ptillisch was kind enough to explain how to edit the .yml file to extend the timeout length which fixes it, but that should be noted in the setup documentation as well.

This might not be the place to post about documention issues, so if I should look elsewhere I hope someone will let me know.

Thanks!
