£10 ESP32 is a 240mhz dual-CPU computer (with 4mb ram) and can run a webserver - so can be controlled from your phone/computer. Amazing. also amazingly, you can run nintendo NES games on it
These are the steps I took to get it working:
- download current arduino IDE from arduino.cc
- the one I bought from the Hackspace shop was this one:
- CANADUINO ESP32 Devkit Wi-Fi Bluetooth BLE - Ultra Low
- the IC chip (which controls the USB interface with the computer?) is: CP2104
- my mac, is running an older system, so I needed this driver for the CP2104:
- after that, in the arduino IDE, you need to add a URL to the preferences in order to download the ESP32 board:
- as per this youtube video
- this is the URL to type: "https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json"
- Then this video and link give you code to make the webserver.
