Setting up an ESP32 with Arduino IDE

In this video you will learn a bit about the ESP32 microcontroller, and how to set it up with Arduino IDE.
I typically use the WROOM module, although it's similar to the WROVER module anyways. Only difference is that the WROVER has an additional PSRAM ic included in the module, and I haven't needed it yet.

This is one the best info tutorials I have watched in a long time. Being a 72 year old beginner, I need all the help I can get. You did this in about 6 mins !!!

[@mainframesys]

I am really glad to hear my tutorial was helpful! You have my respect for trying to learn all this at 72. Doesn't matter what people say, I don't think you're ever too old to learn something new :)

Can you also make a video on how I can set my ESp32 with labview to transfer the data from my pressure and flow sensors to labview

[@VaporeonistThell]

Thank you all worked as expected.

[@johnburgess2084]

VERY helpful tutorial, thanks. I had previously loaded the boards package from Sparkfun, and their ESP32 Thing Plus was in the list. But building anything failed due to missing compiler (I don't remember the message). Then I found this tutorial and started through it, hoping it would tell me what compiler was needed. I got through the installation part, with no specific mention of a compiler. I didn't have much hope of the GetChipId working, since I still hadn't installed a compiler. Oddly, it worked perfectly! Apparently the boards package from Espressif included whatever compiler is needed. Now I must have 2 separate esp32 compilers on my PC because earlier I had installed Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension, and my ESP32 board has been working fine with that; now I apparently have another compiler for Arduino. Again, thanks for the helpful installation tutorial.

i am getting an error can u " Failed uploading: no upload port provided" solution for that

When installing esp32 using the url method how do you get the latest? Does using the developement url give you the latest? If a new commit is made fixing a bug how to I make sure what I am developing with has everything up to date at that moment? I was thinking the Git method of install did this but I am trying a reinstall and that method is either not working or taking hours to clone.

When I try this with an ESP32-S3, everything is almost exactly the same for me but with just trying a simple hello world program, the serial monitor either outputs nothing or it says ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327. Do you know why its doing this? I tried doing the bootloader thing by holding the boot button and pressing the reset and then releasing the boot button, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

[@AnisGrande]

hii. i hope u can reply this ASAP. why does mine cant click on the port? i cant choose the COM :((

[@mainframesys]

Usually that means that your computer isn't seeing the ESP as a COM port... You can try a few things: A different USB cable/port (especially going directly to the port and not through a USB hub), check device manager to see if the COM port appears when you plug/unplug (if not you may need to reinstall drivers) and of course try restarting the Arduino IDE and your computer :)

[@TB-oe4vr]

Skips the com port issue. Thumbs down.
