Installing the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE (Mac and Linux instructions)
The ESP32 is currently being integrated with the Arduino IDE just like it was done for the ESP8266, but not everything is working at the moment (see here). This add-on for the Arduino IDE allows you to program the ESP32 using the Arduino IDE and its programming language. If you like the ESP32, you might also enjoy reading all my ESP8266 […]
