Arduino IDE for ESP32 modules

Given the great popularity of the ESP8266 programmed from Arduino IDE in great contribution by Ivan Grokhotkov thanks, Currently for ESP32 modules has been allowed to program them from Arduino IDE in collaboration with espressif, Although it is a project under construction so far the control of certain hardware is in the process of migration. Currently…

ESP-IDF for Modules ESP32 Complete Installation

This time we will install and configure  Espressif IoT Development Framework platform (ESP-IDF) from scratch, this is the official espressif development platform for the ESP32 modules. In previous tutorials we talked a little about the ESP32 that have Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz band) and Bluetooth 4.2 in a single module among other features. ESP32 eBox&Widora first review I took…

ESP32 eBox&Widora first review

More than a year ago Espressif released the long-awaited ESP32, these modules are low cost microcontrollers, low power consumption, Wi-Fi chip, Bluetooth and what is really amazing the Tensilica Xtensa LX6 dual-core microprocessor !!, another interesting fact has improvements in security and secure connections, is the successor of esp8266. Unlike ESP8266 espressif design the ESP32…
