Thanks for this Finally I am able to run my code successfully on vscode anyone is struggling while doing the same, please watch all the steps carefully. If you get stuck anywhere and you can't get any solution I suggest you to uninstall everything and try again .

Thank you! Very useful video, helped me a lot. Now I can program my ESP32 with no issues

I have a problem with verifying the ESP-IDF tools. In the step "Verify ESP-IDF Tools" I am asked to add "ESP-IDF virtual environment python executable path" (Not shown on your video). I find enter but when I check tools exist, all pass except I get error that verifying python packages requirements failed.

can you help me please

[MegaUncleDrew]

Appreciate it! I was looking exactly for this!

[ROBMART]

Finally! Thanks to your video I was able to use Vscode with IDF. Your video is very instructive, although I had to make a myriad of breaks to follow you, I am a complete beginner is this, but I was very important to use VSCode. Thanks a lot!

[puffinx]

Great video thank you. Many of your #includes are showing a warning in the VSCode editor (squiggly underlines on lines 9-14) any tips on why, and how to fix this?

[MPowerMotor]

Thanks for the video, whats the best way to learn how to program an ESP32 with 0 programming experience... I'm keen to start learning how to build projects based on ESP32

[AvinashBhavsar.]

Can you help me with an issue on time 6:23, error - Command failed: "python" -r

[From 6:16 action in video]?

[praveenkumar-sjjk]

Can u post a video of JTAG debugging in esp idf(vs code).

[MohammedNoureldin]

Thank you! Can we get rid of the red lines at the include lines somehow?

[thanhvinhnguyen]

I get error :"CMake Error: The source directory "E:/ESP32/lab2/hello_world" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt."
can you show your cMakeLists.txt file, please?

[ejazmobashir]

PLease Help me on this i am getting python not accesible issue
in verify esp tool first line is asking for python env:
Add your ESP-IDF virtual environment python executable absolute path. Example:

[ablax]

I had got troubles on the introducing VS code extension, so I have installed ESP-IDF again but a different directory from the first time.
Then fixing new pathes, however, VS code Terminal show me the old directory of ESP-IDF.
Would you help me to fix it?

[loganfansler]

Great video! I followed the steps in the previous video and got the helloworld example to work but I get an error from vscode when trying to verify the ESP-IDF Tools saying that, "Python pip is not found in current environment". Any ideas about what went wrong? I also don't have the following directory:
