Revision as of 12:12, 27 September 2020

£10 ESP32 is a 240mhz dual-CPU computer (with 4mb ram or 512kb not sure) 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.
