NOTE: This is not an Introduction to ESP32. I made a dedicated Getting Started with ESP32 tutorial. If you are a beginner, please read that tutorial first before proceeding with this Programming ESP32 with Arduino IDE tutorial.

#define ledPin 2

void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(5000); }

void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(1000);

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(1000); } view rawESP32-Arduno-IDE-Demo.ino hosted with ❤ by GitHub There isn’t much to explain regarding the code as all we are doing is Blinking an LED.

Programming ESP32 with Arduino IDE Now is the moment of truth. Connect a micro-USB cable to the ESP32 board and plug in the other end to a USB port on your computer. If your computer is running Windows 10 and is up to date, then you will not have any driver issues with respect to the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge.

Troubleshooting Tip

But if your computer couldn’t identify the device, then you have to install the Virtual COM Port Drivers from the official website of CP2102 (manufacturer is Silicon Labs). You can visit this link and download the appropriate driver for your operating system.

If the device is recognized by Windows, then it will be assigned a COM port. In Windows OS, go to Device Manager and get the correct COM Port number.

You can see the LED Blinking.

Common Problems The first problem with ESP32 Board which you might face is related to the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Drivers. I already gave the link to download drivers.

Another problem is not putting the ESP32 in programming mode while uploading the code. Close the Serial Monitor (if it is open) and click and hold the BOOT button on the ESP32 board while clicking on the Upload button on Arduino IDE.

Once it identifies the chip, you can release the BOOT button and the code will be uploaded. To reset the microcontroller, press the EN button once.

Conclusion A complete tutorial on Programming ESP32 with Arduino IDE. You learned how to install ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE, write your first program for ESP32 and upload the program.
