Learned two or three very useful things about PlatformIO just by watching your video.
Thanks so much

Since you did not start with a fresh install, you have a "platformio.ini" file in the example directory while other like me have not... This is quite frustrating.

Nice video, well done, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Brilliant, thanks a lot for the detailed setup!

Hello, I just got one of these in the mail setup for NerdMiner, but I got some chips that weren't modded into the displays board. Do I need these to get it to work successfully?

If I connect a battery will I be able to recharge the battery by simply connecting a power supply through the USBC cable?

Great intro! I have a question, how many free pins are available for me to interface other sensors or devices on this board? I assume the display is taking some pins. Want to know if I can interface maybe, an IMU board with accelerometer and compass with it while still using the display.

i am struggling to filter esp32-s3-devkitc-1 nothing comes up. Edit - I installed pre-released version. However, I couldn't see the demo at the end.

It's my first time with ESP32 (I have the ESP32-C3FH4-RGB board) and would like to flash micropython (1.18 , ESP32-C3 with USB / 01SPACE_C3_RGB), but Is it possible to accidentally overwrite the 28KB Bootloader flash area?

Instead of using the Esspressif Flash Download Tool 3_9_3, I've read that it can be done with just a python module (idf.py's esptool) and the boot button?!

For micropython development, I plan to use but I'd like to eventually transition to a JTAG debugger and VS Code + PlatformIO (instead of Arduino IDE, ESP IDF, Mu, etc). From what I've read, Sysprog's UsbDriverTool / Zadig is used to install the WinUSB driver to an FTDI 4232 based board (similar to ESP-Prog board) in order to get 3 COM ports and one JTAG/OpenOCD port (interface 0).. the ESP32 doesn't support SWD. Once the JTAG wires are connected, the proper configuration needs to be setup for OpenOCD and PlatformIO, settings_json. ESP32's tips page has a good section called "Configuration of OpenOCD for specific target".

BTW, there is an educational version of the Segger's J-link debugger (edu/mini), but not sure if it can be made to work with Eclipse+OpenOCD. Would love to play with the data tracing feature (SWD's SWV/TDO)!

5:20 I get to this point, but I don't know what to do next because I'm using MAC OS. Can you help me please?

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. But when I tried to build the project vscode return the error: "Error: Could not find one of 'package.json' manifest files in the package" what can this be?

I have some problems with User_Setup_Select.h file. How can I fix it ? Sketch has been uploaded but I dont see anything on screen.

I have subscribed to your channel, thanks, can you make this tutorial for arduino C language

[damainx]

why install python? it's an .ino file

You TYPED, esp32-s3-devkitc-1, but you SAID (and also included in the upper right of the screen) esp32-s3 SPACE devkitc-1 Which is You need to get better at REVIEWING your work before you Your video is VERY confusing to people like me who have not used these programs before. Please get better!!!!

[jeffreywyke]

NOT very "user-friendly." You need to SHOW what you are clicking on, and keep the frame on the screen long enough for us to SEE it!! I about wore out my mouse going back just to try to see what you were doing!
