[Dev Environment Setup] ESP-IDF & Visual Studio Code for ESP32 Programming on MAC

In this video, I'm gonna show you how to set up the ESP32 Development Environment with ESP-IDF for Visual Studio Code on Mac.
Visual Studio Code extension for Espressif IoT Development Framework, ESP-IDF is an official development framework for the ESP-32 chip.

[HomeBrew]

[CMake]

[Ninja]

[Visual Studio Code]

For those running into ninja issues, installing ninja with brew worked better for me.

Phew! Got it working in VSCode thanks to you. First, I had to break/fix my environment variables on PATH with export & nano. Once I got the ESP-IDF prerequisites, I installed the ESP-IDF extension and the output looked as if it loaded all those prerequisites again (wait, what?). Upon completion, my ESP-IDF looked like your project example. Flashed. Monitored. Paired ESP32 to my iPhone. The result was underwhelming but oddly satisfying. Now that I can program the device, I am on my way. Thanks!!!

Hey Hi, need your help I couldn't find the example you used for controlling the RGB light of the ESP32-DEV board

Thank you again for another great lesson +1

Hello I am struggling with the installation of esp-idf on ventura 13.4.1 and unable to build any of the complex examples after installing on vscode I get many build errors from ninja it is quite difficult to understand what I have to do to correct the build process. Any idea thanks in advance.

Hello, when going into esp-idf configure in VS code, i get taken to a tab that does not look like yours. It only says that Git, Python, CMake and Ninja are required but has no options to choose between configuration settings. Any ideas?

Hi, This is a great tutorial! but I am getting the following error with Ninja:
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

Also, when I try to build my esp32 project using the VSCode extension, I get an error saying that cmake is uanble to build because it does not have permissions.

Pls help me with these

Can you use the ESPIDF to run the interface with the esp32 cam

[skepti.r]

is there any way to get espidf framework working on platformio?

i get the following error:

ImportError: dlopen(.../charset_normalizer/md.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried:
... (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64'))

Hai can u do one project based on firebase along with Your videos are always help full for people like me to learn more about embedded systems. Now I am doing a project of home automation using firebase and multitasking using esp32. But now I have some trouble with realtime streaming and response updation. It's working but some missing. I also make a flutter application using your previous tutorials and that's help me more. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Thank you for your work,
I have one question Is this code works for reading the notification from Android phone ??

[oscarpeters]

hi,
Could you do a project with ESP homekit for esp32?

[wahed_zaman]

As always excellent tutorial. Brother if possible can you please make a tutorial on bt classic proximity? For ble it is already there. But what i am struggling with is, whenever any known mac address is nearby, based on the rssi value i want to do something (on esp32 using bl classic) thanks.

FYI... Allot of people are unaware that you can use arduino and ESP-IDF together in the same app.
