Awesome, and letterly simply explained. I hope you can make a video about making a web-ui for esp32 to save settings like wifi credentials and other setting. Thanks a lot.

I followed instructions in this video . I imported one of my existing Arduino IDE projects for my Adafruit Huzzah 8266 board.. but I don't know how to compile and load it into my board. It doesn't recognize the libraries for one. Do you have another video for that? Thanks!

I still don't understand the benefit of using PlatformIO in comparison with only using the Arduino extension in VS Code. Could you explain to me about this in a few sentences please?

Hi, What is the name of the icon-theme pack that you're using in this VSCode?

Cool if you have an Arduino sketch using libraries can this help to convert the code to run on an esp32

does anyone knows how his folders icons on vscode looks so cool? Mine on linux are kinda boring D:

[Cdswjp]

Too bad it can't be used w/ Xcode

[MartinMittrenga]

You forget how can i upload now the project. Thumbs down :(

Catering to the "I can make a light blink" crowd is ruining new programmers. Buy a used c++ text book and 100 level mathematics book at least. Whats a structure, class, multidimensional array. How about an alphabetical bubble sort function on a standard array. I learned how to use pinmode today! The intellectual equivalent of that lazy kid who made a light bulb circuit for science fair lol
