ESP32 - How to create your First ESP IDF project (From Scratch)

[@ahmadghorbi4188]

This is one of the best tutorials that I have ever seen. The video teaches you how to learn and use the documentation. Indeed, he is teaching you how to fish instead of giving you a fish.

[@ViktorVano]

Good to see a tutorial that is NOT based on Arduino, but a proper C programming :) Great job.

[@YuriR]

Hi Viktor! Thank you, glad you liked it! :)

[@jsonslim]

But what is wrong with arduino?

[@ViktorVano]

@@jsonslim Arduino does not have a debugging capability nor have a full control of the MCU as you would have with a standard C/C++ development tools. Arduino is good for kids and hobbyists and not for a professional use.

[@Dazza_Doo]

@@ViktorVano However Arduino does give you the ability to use C++ and that's a huge win

[@ViktorVano]

@@Dazza_Doo there are other IDEs that give you the same option to use C or C++ or combine C and C++. But the best thing is when you have a debug options and be able to see live variables and step the program. I used Eclipse based IDEs and I like them.

I know right? it was about time :)

Last month I started exploration to ESP32 using ESP-IDF, and till today, this is the well explained tutorial on basics I've found. Good job Bro...

[@akmalnarendrasakti1634]

Hey Yuri, Thank you so much for your incredible explanation. Last year I was doing my bachelor thesis and struggled to understand the working of esp-idf. Finally, after I graduated I could understand more about this topic. Keep up your content man!

[@YuriR]

Hi Akmal! Thanks for watching and for sharing! I'm really glad it helped. Will continue making more videos soon :)

Been looking for days for a video like this. Amazing how almost no one explains how to create a simple empty project.

[@YuriR]

Indeed! I'm trying to make it as easy as possible :) Thanks for watching

[@alessiomatarazzo6765]

Never pressed the bell button for any channel I'm subscribed to, this is my first time. Very Very Very high quality explanation and editing of the video. thank you, I hope you'll keep going!!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them, producing the next one right now! :)

[@jackflash6377]

That my friends was a very helpful example for a newbie like me. Made my first project, pulled in some code I had made in another IDE and BOOM... Errors. The instructions on how to add the path to the json file did the trick. This time, BOOM. compiled without errors. Thank you.

[@YuriR]

That's fantastic to know! I'm glad to hear that it's still helpful. I'm working on the next one and it'll be ready soon.

[@gcolab-j5b]

Man, you are the great! The best tutorial for ESP32 I ever seen! Just simple and structured explanation. Appreciate your work!

[@YuriR]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. There so many things to cover in this microcontroller world, definitely a course is a great idea.

[@linkpad6270]

Thanks! Great clear and concise explanation of creating an IDF project from scratch not many guides offer this.

[@user-pw7wy3hs6g]

Very cool, detailed and clear video. So far, the best that I've seen on KZbin on the subject. Many thanks! Yuri, I will be very grateful if you'll create something else of the same format for setting up the Zigbee and Thread SSED devices, for example.

[@ChampionInternationalSchools]

Good work. I like your teaching style. Keep it up. I am new to esp32X and idf but I am already understanding it. Thanks

Best onboarding video for any framework i have ever seen! Am learning several frameworks for embedded MCU programming for some years now. During that time i have watched many video tutorials and read many blogs/articles but there are so many sources that are confusing or one can not understand what the tutor is about to tell either because of speaking too fast or having really bad pronunciation. And learned 2 new tricks with VS Code i still did not know.

[@YuriR]

Thanks Pegacorn! I agree with you, there is a lot of confusing information around regarding embedded systems, I wanna try bringing more clarity to the topic as much as I can :) I'm glad you got some new tricks!

[@dng88]

Crazily great video and not just handholding … basically teach how to fish not just give you the fish.

[@arturmagnus6674]

Thank you so much for this series, the videos are perfect, please keep working on the series!!! I was used to work with C2000 processor from Texas TI, but with this chip shortage it's been pretty hard to put the hands on one devellopment board for my projects. With your help i feel that porting my code to anothger 32bit processor it's possible!!! I was pretty unmotivated with my masters degree because of this, thank you for helping me.

[@matt-i-as]

Thanks for all your help Yuri but I get: 'cannot open source file "driver/gpio.h"C/C++(1696)' The squiggles does not disappear for me. VSCode refuses to find driver/gpio.h, it finds freertos/FreeRTOS.h and some other header files, but everything in the driver-folder seems banned. The file does exist ..\components\driver\include\driver\gpio.h This seems like a compiler error, should i not use mingw? should i upgrade my cmake? Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone solved it?

[@matt-i-as]

in the root of gpio.h there were headers missing (sys/cdefs.h and crtdefs.h) in my installation of MinGW. Cant remember which version i installed. I found those files in the header-folders of other versions of MinGW. I thought i had the latest and the greatest. I should probably install some other version.

[@YuriR]

Hi Slutbit, sorry for the delay! I haven't tested this using MinGW, glad you found the solution!
