Setting up an ESP32 with Arduino IDE

In this video you will learn a bit about the ESP32 microcontroller, and how to set it up with Arduino IDE.

I typically use the WROOM module, although it's similar to the WROVER module anyways. Only difference is that the WROVER has an additional PSRAM ic included in the module, and I haven't needed it yet.

This is one the best info tutorials I have watched in a long time. Being a 72 year old beginner, I need all the help I can get. You did this in about 6 mins !!!

Was getting so frustrated I couldn't get the ESP32 working...your video was quick and to the point and got me up and running. Thanks!

Well done, good short video, straight to the point. Greatly appreciate this type of training.

Love the format for these tutorials! Great work man ✨

VERY helpful tutorial, thanks. I had previously loaded the boards package from Sparkfun, and their ESP32 Thing Plus was in the list. But building anything failed due to missing compiler (I don't remember the message). Then I found this tutorial and started through it, hoping it would tell me what compiler was needed. I got through the installation part, with no specific mention of a compiler. I didn't have much hope of the GetChipId working, since I still hadn't installed a compiler. Oddly, it worked perfectly! Apparently the boards package from Espressif included whatever compiler is needed. Now I must have 2 separate esp32 compilers on my PC because earlier I had installed Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension, and my ESP32 board has been working fine with that; now I apparently have another compiler for Arduino. Again, thanks for the helpful installation tutorial.

I found this a very good tutorial and that it was easy to follow, it works without a problem on the version 2.0 of the Arduino IDE. Thank you for posting.

Thank you very much man! I was starting to think my ESP wasn't working.

For some reason nothing is showing up in ports

Great Video - can you reference the com port drivers required for some esp32 boards - CP210X

[greydilora]

Its not letting me click on PORT. Shows that I don't have one

Hi i just learned about this and your video helped a lot! If i may ask, how do i know which ESP32 microcontroller to buy? Also what does Wroverkit and DevkitC mean? Thank you very much!

When installing esp32 using the url method how do you get the latest? Does using the developement url give you the latest? If a new commit is made fixing a bug how to I make sure what I am developing with has everything up to date at that moment? I was thinking the Git method of install did this but I am trying a reinstall and that method is either not working or taking hours to clone.

Nice and simple video, thx 4 uploading.. :)

wait, so just to be sure, these boards can use the same pins for analog and digital. if so, does it convert digital to analog or vice versa?

what should i do ??

Hì, it's possible to connect the ESP32 to the panel led P10 and sent the text scrolling by Telegram bot?

When I try this with an ESP32-S3, everything is almost exactly the same for me but with just trying a simple hello world program, the serial monitor either outputs nothing or it says ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327. Do you know why its doing this? I tried doing the bootloader thing by holding the boot button and pressing the reset and then releasing the boot button, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

What software other than wokwi simulator(as it doesn't have dht11 sensor) can we use to Simulate esp32 module ?

[sravankumar]

i am getting an error can u "
Failed uploading: no upload port provided" solution for that

[weltroyt]

So i dont need the arduino anymore? This will completly exchange the arduino?
