  • getting familiarised with the ESP 32

I wanted some help in getting familiarised with the ESP 32 environment, could u suggest me a IDE to work on and preferable OS u might be using for the development. Thanks in advance

    Hi Sanjith,

    Sorry about the delay. Yes, let me circle back actually. I am asking the team that is most familiar with developing on ESP32 (actually, the engineers who make Emporia Energy monitors based on the ESP32 (HERE).

    Thanks,

    Hi sanjith

    Alright, I heard back from the team. The advice was to get a wESP32 and use microPython to get going initially.

    The wESP32 comes pre-programmed with microPython out of the box and has Ethernet connectivity. So it allows easy/quick remote prototyping.

    So then also our DepthAI with integrated ESP32 is now available as well: https://shop.luxonis.com/collections/all/products/bw1092-pre-order

    But keep in mind it is far from a polished product right now, as it is in Alpha testing stage, so requires significant expertise now to get it running.

    Later it will be simple/easy - but right now the firmware is still so new/raw that is is not yet advisable for anyone but those interested in 'hacking' on the device.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Brandon
