Setting up the esp32 arduinoIDE environment#
First, download Arduino, which should be self-explanatory.
Go to the Arduino - Home official website.
Change the language#
Add the esp32 board URL#
Enter the following URL in the address field:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json
Click "OK" after adding.
Then install the esp32 board plugin.
Your arduinoIDE should automatically download the esp32 development board environment. Just be patient and wait for it to complete. Restart the IDE after it's done.
Modify the board type#
It's possible that when you connect the development board, it doesn't get recognized automatically. In that case, you'll need to manually check the device manager to see which port it is and modify its board type.
This is the serial port for esp32.
If you don't know the model of your development board, you can try using the generic model, ESP32 Dev Module.
Testing#
After selecting the board type, you can proceed to testing.
You can flash an official example for esp32 to check the chip ID. The example is called getCheapId.
