#274 Free Inline Debugging for ESP32 and Arduino Sketches

My Maker world changed last week when I started my first inline debugging tool for an Arduino sketch. Free of charge, nota bene. You do not know what I am talking about? Then you must watch at least the beginning of the video. If you know what I am talking about, I am sure; you also want to have it.
PlatformIO announced it will go open source because of an investment of Western Digital.

Excellent, exactly the same editor and way of working through my C# code windows program in Studio 2017.

Thank you Andreas & everyone who is involved in making this possible!
Got my first ESP32 last week.
I know I'm late but Arduino & ESP8266 & TI Launchpad was enough before.
But now I'm hooked on the ESP32 drug! =)
And there's sooo many boards to try!
Thank you once again. =)

Your videos and all the work you put in are so valuable to us Andreas! I save a ton of time with your shared experience. Thanks a lot.

[tonybell]

Wow! Thanks Andreas, always wondered about this stuff, time to go shopping! (Big thanks to the platformIO team too.... )

[AgozieAni]

I always your videos to the very end.... my whole family loves the "BYE" at the end.

[albygnigni]

Thanks Andreas! Nice to know that PIO debugger is become free!

PS: 14-15 September there will be CERN Open Days and they are really worth a trip!

[BerndFelsche]

Thanks for making this video.

It's so hard to explain how easy debugging can be.

[rklauco]

My life just changed significantly. Thanks!!!

[Aemilindore]

This is one of the best videos done Andreas. We really hope you could go into much more details about this topic in future. We learnt a lot from this video. Thanks a lot. Bless you.

[warperone]

been waiting for this for a while - thanks for doing such a great video and making life easier for ALL makers

[Magic-Smoke]

Possibly the most important video you've made so far. This will release thousands from the 'irons' of the current environment.

[hstrinzel]

Incredible level of debugging control! And it did not cost much at all. THANK YOU! Rekindled my interest in working with ESP32. Fabulous video! :)

[roukie]

A great feature to have especially for the price you pay for the ESP-PROG. Andreas many thanks for this great video. It makes life so much easier to learn this way. Keep up the good work.

[graemeatkinson]

Thanks so much for this Andreas! Saved me a heap of time getting up and running with this little debug module. Such great content!

[trent]

You demystified JTAG debugging for me, so much so FedEx dropped off my Olimex ARM-USB-TINY-H yesterday.

Following this video I was running and debugging in less than an hour. Great video as always!

[bernard]

Thanks mate. This is the one thing that has really held me back - not just useful for debugging, but also a great way to learn and experiment. I hope you're getting a commission - I just bought one.

[jvgorkum]

Big thank you! -- this is will take me from the Arduino side over to PlatformIO

[HariWiguna]

OMG Andreas! This is HUGE! I've tried doing this before with a different debugger with limited success. Thank you for sharing your success path! Ten thumbs ups!!

[Premjit]

Unbelievably cool and informative video man! Well done! Exactly what I have been looking for, for years! Just in time. Love your clear, direct, and still detailed style! Long lives your channel and you!

[PeterMensink]

Thanks Andreas, already got the board a few week ago, finally got some time to install and test.
Just got the the debugger running.
