Quick Arduino Beginners Guide 2020 — incl. Elegoo Basic Starter Kit, DSO138, ESP8266 and ESP32

Some time ago, I wrote a blog article on how to start with the Arduino ecosystem. This short video reflects the essentials of this blog article. So the idea was to capture the most important information in about 5min. I hope the video got not too basic, and has still some value to my viewers.

Basic equipment to start with:
– Arduino

– Jumper wires

– Breadboard

– LED

– Switch

– Resistor (1k ohm)

Starter kit:
– Elegoo Starter kit

Debugging:
– Multimeter

– DSO138 oscilloscope

ESPs:
– ESP8266

– ESP322

I'm a little confused by the esp8266 and esp32 that you show. Isn't the esp8266 also available as a stand alone microcontroller? Or is it then called a nodeMCU?
