===Arduino IDE===

====Adding ESP32 to Arduino IDE====
see [https://dronebotworkshop.com/esp32-intro/]
* Note: Link to JSON file has changed to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json, see [https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/3443#issuecomment-549113517]
* in Arduino IDE Preferences add the following URL as Additional Board Manager URLs <br/> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
* in Arduino IDE Board Manager install "esp32"
* Select Board "ESP32 Dev Module"
* Delete or rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\WiFi library, as the ESP32 brings his one lib
* Set Tools->Upload Speed to 115200 baud

===Reduce Logging===
To hide the
DEBUG StatusLogger
messages in the log, in file
c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\arduino_debug.l4j.ini
add
-DDEBUG=false

===Coding===
see [[C++]] for Arduino coding

===Alternative Software===
====Visual Studio Code====
=====Installation=====
You really should use this one!<br/> See [https://maker.pro/arduino/tutorial/how-to-use-visual-studio-code-for-arduino How to Use Visual Studio Code for Arduino] for a good install guide.

My current settings can be found in my [https://github.com/entorb/arduino-sensorics/tree/main/.vscode GitHub reposititory]. <br/>
Here (maybe old) copies:

arduino.json
{
"board": "esp32:esp32:esp32",
"configuration": "PSRAM=disabled,PartitionScheme=default,CPUFreq=240,FlashMode=qio,FlashFreq=80,FlashSize=4M,UploadSpeed=115200,DebugLevel=none",
"port": "COM4",
"programmer": "AVR ISP",
"sketch": "0_arduino_code/0_arduino_code.ino",
"output": "e:/tmp/arduino-build"
}
c_cpp_properties.json
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Arduino",
"includePath": [
"C:/Users/t/AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/**",
"C:/Users/t/AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/1.0.4/**",
"D:/files/Hacken/GitHub/entorb/arduino-sensorics/libraries/**"
],

}
],
"version": 4
}
settings.json
{
"arduino.path": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Arduino",
"arduino.defaultBaudRate": 115200,
"arduino.logLevel": "info",
"arduino.additionalUrls": [
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json",
"http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json"
],
"C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "Default",
"C_Cpp.default.defines": [],
}
Note "arduino.logLevel": "info" to reduce the logging output

=====Platform IO=====
Alternativly Platform IO VSCode Plugin can be used, but I decided to stick to stay compatible to Arduino IDE, see [https://randomnerdtutorials.com/vs-code-platformio-ide-esp32-esp8266-arduino/#2 Platform IO Plugin]

=====Debugging=====
Not tried so far: [https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5150391/Creating-and-Debugging-Arduino-Programs-in-Visual Creating and Debugging Arduino Programs in Visual Studio Code]

====HyperTerminal====
[https://www.heise.de/download/product/hterm-53283 HTerm] is better than the one included in Arduino IDE
