Beginner

For beginners it is not easy to establish a minimal working environment for the ESP32 SoCs with e.g. Wifi, buttons, LEDs and waking up from Deep Sleep. Unfortunately such a minimal environment is necessary to get things done. This article describes some components which help to set up this environment. By using C++ the complexity is hidden inside the component classes.

The ESP-IDF Installation Manager (EIM) v0.8 introduces simplified installation across Windows, macOS, and Linux through native package managers. This article covers the new release features, installation methods, offline capabilities, and headless usage for CI/CD pipelines.

In this article, we explore how to configure GPIO pins as inputs in ESP-IDF and discuss the importance of pull-up/pull-down resistors. We will try two approaches for reading GPIO values: polling and event-driven interrupts, showing how to implement each method effectively.

This article explains how to configure and control GPIO pins on Espressif SoCs, covering push-pull and open-drain output modes, drive capability, and library usage. It then provides a hands-on example of blinking an LED using gpio_set_direction and gpio_set_level on a ESP32-C61-DevKitC.

Learn how to create, structure, and publish Arduino libraries for ESP32. This step-by-step guide covers everything from understanding a library structure to submitting your library to the Arduino Library Manager.
