Setting up Arduino IDE for ESP32 development (ESP32 + Arduino series)

By default, the Arduino IDE has no support for the ESP32. In this video I'll show how to install the necessary software to make it compatible.

Thanks bro I was able to install ESP32 package

[@rolandberendonck3900]

Is it possible to install the esp32 software offline, in kind of the same way as installing libraries that you download, unzip and past in the library directory? I hope so because my devolopment pc is offline and I like it that way.

Great thanks

Wow amazing

you forgot 1 thing, when you go to upload code the board your going ot need to select is the "esp32 dev module"

[@udayshekhawat7886]

exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH% Error compiling for board AI Thinker ESP32-CAM. Any soltuion for this

I followed all the steps, but for some reason it's still not working. Apparently Windows does not recognize the device and it's not showing up under ports in the "COM" ports in the Arduino IDE. I also tried installing the different drivers for the ESP32 as well (CP210x and CH34x). Any ideas on what else I can do? I've also tried several different USB cables too.

I'm in the same damn boat. I literally have installed every version on the Internet I've been doing it for hours rebooting plugging in unplugging checking device manager refreshing it getting sick of this shit

[@ClownWhisper]

you are not gonna believe it but it ended up being the CABLE!!!! its NEVER THE DAMN CABLE!

[@baxter6504]

@@ClownWhisper Some USB cables lack the data pin(s) needed for programming and data transfer. I learned that the hardway while developing Andriod applications.

Hello, after I paste the link on preferences and go to tools to manage boards and look for ESP32, it doesn't appear in the options, any ideas why this might be happening?

[@ginoantenucci6424]

It might be that right now the link that he provided is down or doesn’t exist

[@tigerclaw726]

thx dud

I can't install ESP32 on Arduino when follow your step.

[@chriswoods9857]

Ummmm this is all good but how do you setup the rest of it? Seems like every video I watch the person just shows a few ways to do something but never really shows how to actually complile it and upload to the device. It would be nice to find a video showing from start to finish. This video is just the few steps of actually making it work.

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

the main thing hes missing is which "board" to select for generic esp32 modules now i gotta go find another video or do it by trial and error, as for the programming itself thats for another video Update: esp32 dev module is the "board" you select to upload code

[@stancloyd]

"once you have the drivers installed"...What/which drivers??????

Play this at 2x speed

better 5x i'm using such script document.getElementsByClassName("video-stream html5-main-video")[0].playbackRate = 5;
