How to Set up ESP32 in Arduino IDE

ESP32 is a low-cost, low-power system with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth on a chip microcontroller. The ESP32 series employs either a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations, Xtensa LX7 dual-core microprocessor or a single-core RISC-V microprocessor and includes built-in antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power-management modules. ESP32 was created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Shanghai-based Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using its 40 nm process. It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.

1. Arduino IDE Download

• Download the latest Arduino IDE from here
• Install it
• Run Application 

2. Arduino IDE configure

• In your Arduino IDE, go to File > Preferences
• Enter the following into the “Additional Board Manager URLs” field:
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
  
• Then, click the “OK” button

3. ESP32 Install

• Open the Boards Manager. (Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager)
• Search for ESP32 and press install button for the “ESP32 by Espressif Systems“:
• That’s it. It should be installed after a few seconds.

4. ESP32 Use

• Connect ESP32 to your PC by using a Data cable
• Tools > Board > ESP32Arduino > ESP32 Dev Module
• Tools > port > COM* (USB port select)

5. Upload the sketch

        void setup() {
            Serial.begin(115200);
        }

        void loop() {
            Serial.println("Hello World");
            delay(3000);

        }
