Tech Note 070 - (Obsolete as IDE changed) Adding a new board definition to the Arduino IDE

Not all of the Development boards (especially ESP32) are listed in the Arduino IDE Boards, so this is how I add a new board definition. Don't forget to modify the file 'pins_arduino.h' to match your board for example change or add the LED pin is use, default serial port speed, etc.

My Lolin-Lite board should be delivered today so I have just followed your Tech Note and added it to the definitions, etc. Easy to follow your instructions and all I changed in the pin.h file was the led pin from 5 to 22 for the Lite. Thank you Dave!
I have a ESP32 Lolin Pro on the way, which uses the WROVER and so lots of ram and also a SD card reader on the board. That will be my next board definition task :-)

You have the uncanny ability to answer questions I have just wondered about. Thanks!

Excellent video. Your channel is fast becoming my goto first on all matters ESP. Thanks a lot for all your work.

David you need to change your G6EJD identifier to G6ESP because you seem to have ESP in knowing what is needed by ESP32, Arduino IDE users!

Hi David. Where do you find board definition for a new board ?

THanks.
