DevCon23 - ESP-IDF Getting Started (Beginners Guide to Key Concepts and Resources)

[@hal8000b]

What a fantastic presentation! One of the killer features of the IDF is the built-in FreeRTOS. Anyone who's ever created a project that requires polling inputs or outputs now can now use the scheduling algorithm, with choice of scheduler. Thanks also for making your presentation cross platform with code for Linux and Windows.

Please keep this content up to date and do more toolchain videos.

[@milindsharma8106]

Lol my guy I think you just need more exposure to real embedded systems. Write enough difficult projects and suddenly RTOS becomes a lifesaver

[@peterkosek17]

Truly an outstanding overview of esp32 project development. This presentation is where to start. I have used esp-idf for two years and found this presentation helpful in understanding the resources available. Thank you

[@bobweiram6321]

Wow! I'm impressed! You guys really made the onboarding process clear, organized, and concise. With other hardware I've encountered, it's almost always long confusing web of documentation often leading to dead ends.

[@dazecm]

Great overview. I totally dig the user outreach efforts Espressif is doing in terms of developing documentation and learning resources.

[@Michael-lo3ht]

Very much needed for a quick start into ESP-IDF. Thanks. I did have to slow the video down to 75% of speed. Look forward to more videos.

[@sloshy1840]

This is so clear, to the point and extremely helpful!! Thank you

[@7GIGEO7]

Excellent introductory video, straight to the point and in perfect alignment with the official ESP-IDF guide. It summarizes all the essential information you need to know to get up and running and also covers some important aspects of the microcontroller's basic structure. Again well thought-out and presented introductory video, couldn't ask for a better one.

[@mh-studio1]

use Arduino IDE instead!

[@7GIGEO7]

@@mh-studio1 Hmm why would i want to do that? Have you tried both because i have and i think you should too.

[@mh-studio1]

@@7GIGEO7 because ease to use! and friendly GUI more than platIO. Also Arduino library is widely in used.

[@7GIGEO7]

@@mh-studio1 Well i'm actually referring to ESP IDF and not platform IO. And i agree that Arduino IDE is kinda simpler to install and get started with but thats about it. Believe me the ease of use is actually very similar with ESP IDF and the libraries are very consistent, they work well with each other and are very well documented. But most importantly the power they give you over the MCU is unparalleled over any other solution. You should try it and see for yourself if you didn't.

[@channelname6653]

@@mh-studio1 That misses the point of this entirely!!! Are you a bot??

[@kirilltroiak5241]

Thank you very much, this presentation is a masterpiece 🔥🔥

[@sergbo3114]

Nice. My English is not the best, and I hate it when somebody tries to make some guide with a very low English skill level(such in Hinglish "mix of Hindi/English"). But this is the best speaker)

[@robertanderson2122]

Yet another thank you for great content. This is an extremely useful overview of the entire process, and why you might want it. I have only used Arduino IDE becaues it was an easy setup on Ubuntu. But the command line ESP-IDF is a much closer fit to my old school programming style and ingrained emacs keyboard commands. Thanks for enlightening us all.

[@ядриломудрило]

Отличное введение в курс дела для новичков!

[@jesusmoran5713]

Amazin presentation with compacted and full information miss this kind of learning

[@batner]

This is very helpful. Thanks.

[@Emerald-Typed]

This was so so helpful thank you so much for creating this content.

[@tunckurtlu3154]

Hello. Thank you very much but just I noticed a small problem, sorry. The video early moves before than english transcript. Have i an any mistake ? video 14:23 but transcript in 14:49

[@ernestoamezquita9291]

Can we get a presentation on building the matter protocol examples and commissioning through the CHIP standalone tool?

[@nicoladellino8124]

Very useful video, THX.

[@BerndKircher]

Hello, nice overview! Where can I get that presentation with all the links?

[@EspressifSystems]

The presentation link is in the video description.

[@eberger02]

How does FreeRTOS interact with multiple core chips? I’m guessing the task scheduler just handles it seamlessly and we don’t need to code it ourselves. I think the S3 I just got in the box3has two cores. I’m pretty sure it’s my first espressif with more than one core.

[@Steven_Bennett_YT]

I have installed Eclipse 4.31.0 and the ESP-IDF plugin but have been blocked at my first attempt to upload a blink sketch as I can't find two critical settings i.e. the target device and the COM port, on earlier versions of eclipse it was easy, now it seems impossible!

[@Bleachcow]

Thank you!

[@TjarkZiehm]

impressive video. THX alot

[@skmplanet9591]

Hope this video will help using ESP-IDF. The official documentation is not suitable for beginners as one can easily get lost.

[@filipstojanovicmechanicale9265]

Newcomers are usually very impatient, and they don't read documentation carefully. Official documentation is actually very good, even for beginners.

[@khalidnawazkhan6235]

very informative, however it was very fast ... never mid - it is still helpful

[@anthonyheak3479]

Your tutorial is good but a little to fast.

[@AzharMdNoh]

AUDIO... blast it please

[@piconano]

Who uses Eclipse anymore? Everyone I know, uses VS Code. You missed VS Code and Platformio in your "Tutorial", which millions of people use!!!

[@elijah_9392]

ESP-IDF and PlatformIO are the same class of software. You either use PlatformIO to configure the SDK on your microcontroller or ESP-IDF. Both tools provide you with a command line interface to work with your microcontroller. You can use platform IO to program thr ESP32, but that would be with a different SDK and that would be a different tutorial. VS code should not need a tutorial as they have an official plugin that makes everything very straightforward. Further, the build process and overall high level ideas of how this SDK works, as presented in the video, are equally applicable to VS Code. The process stays the same, it's just that you don't have to worry about the peculiarities yourself when using VS Code.

[@anlpereira]

This platform should be more friendly like Arduino environment.

[@Tubemaster32]

Its still unreasonable complicated to get a hello world to my mcu, i will ditch it and maybe swap to another vendor entirely

[@elijah_9392]

You can use a different SDK, like Arduino. The ESP-IDF isn't for novices. Its existence is for embedded system developers who want extremely low level control of their processor. You are judging a tool against something that is not its intended purpose.

[@lohikarhu734]

Just a bit too fast to follow easily, especially for someone new to this processor

[@midianalbertokhaiyow8195]

How problematic and confusing it is to use that crap.

[@Factory400]

Hope you are enjoying your Arduino UNO. 😂

[@Ancipital_]

Don't be discouraged, just keep trying and don't give up

[@MasterofBeats]

Frrrr

[@3goldfinger]

You talk to fast.

[@DaleDix]

Slow the video down

[@jvtcc1]

More like he read too fast

[@eberger02]

Just change the speed setting. I thought it was a good spread but I live in England now. Often I have to speed up stuff, sometimes to 2x, in order to make it watchable.
