Why Use PlatformIO instead of Arduino? (ESP32 + Arduino series)

[@Kaka-zs4cp]

Hey! Great video, I’m starting my studies on unit tests for arduino /esp32/esp8266. Do you mind sharing with me a few good materials? I must confess I do not use platform io very much, clients normally think platformio is “complicated”. But I’m down for a unit test solution

Just a friendly FYI. What you called a “double-point” is called a “colon” in English. Similarly, a “;” is called a “semi-colon”.

Update on my last post: I used PIO for a while - it can be good, but currently (2023) there is no stable/ working solution for code upload to AVR4809, and support can't sort it. So I'm using JTAG2UPDI in arduino and VScode as an editor. (JTAG2UPDI does not work in PIO)

I would very much like short videos that can help me progress. There is a large amount of features that make it difficult to find basic tools. Just finding the main program txt was difficult and not knowing I needed to download stuff to run Esp32 and 8266 caused me issues from the start.

I really need to learn it because I want to use so many microcontrollers Arduino IDE doesn't have the best support for this and makes.the program difficult to use as you fill it up.

❤️ Thank you so much, very helpful channel

Support "sim800l + rc522 + dfplayer "modules?!

Are you using Mac m1 ?

[@simplyexplained]

No

[@david-tracy]

does Arduino IDE support the things u mentioned they didn't support in May 2020?

[@BlackDragonBE]

It doesn't, not even in 2024 with the v2 version of Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE is a simple application, but it's easy to add the newest libraries to it many people use it despite its simplicity. PlatformIO is awesome, especially when working with multiple people on a project, but it's a bit more work to set up and their supported devices and libraries lag behind. I use both IDEs depending on what I'm doing. For swiftly testing the capabilities of a board and small projects, I use Arduino IDE to write a sketch and upload it. For bigger projects, I switch to PlatformIO.

Your channel is under-rated big time. Sub'd +1
