In this step-by-step tutorial, we will install the drivers, configure and program the Blink of the ESP32 devkit v1 microcontroller in the Arduino IDE. ESP32 is a very powerful microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a dual-core CPU and plenty of memory. It allows you to access and control it through your cell phone by creating a Web Server or application.
To add the ESP32 Board Package to the Arduino IDE:
Open the Arduino IDE. Go to "File" - "Preferences". If it is in English, go to File - Preferences.
In the "Additional URLs for board managers" field, enter the following URL: https://espressif.github.io/arduino-e...
Click "OK".
Now go to "Tools" - "Board" - "Board Manager". In English, it is Tools - Board - Board Manager and type esp32 and install the esp32 version by Espressif Systems
Download the driver at https://www.silabs.com/documents/publ...
After downloading the driver, go to "Tools" - "Port" (Tools - Port - COM(number)) Select the serial port corresponding to your ESP32, which the Arduino IDE should have detected automatically.
To finish, go to "Tools" - "Board" - "esp32" - ESP32 Dev Module. In English, the menu is Tools - Board - esp32 - ESP32 Dev Module.
Now you can upload your code to your ESP32 board.
