Programming "Blinking LED" on an ESP32 board using the Arduino IDE
Hello there! This article is a tutorial of using an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE to develop programs. This example shows the simplest thing you can do with any kind of Development Board to see physical output through the on-board LED. STEP 1: Required Hardware 1. Development Board I am going to be using the ESP32 devkit V1 , but any other Development Board is fine to use. 2. Laptop / Desktop PC as a power source and to develop the code that will be uploaded to the board. 3. Micro USB cable Common Development Boards use a micro USB cable to connect to code and/or power source. STEP 2: Required Software 1. Install Arduino IDE, you can easily get it under this link: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software 2. Install the correct Board you are using in the Arduino Software in the Tools Menu Bar by copying this url into the Additional Boards Manager URLs bar in Preferences first: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json , if you are using a Ardu
