ESP32 - Getting Started with ESP-IDF using Visual Studio Code [Easiest Method]

nice, nowww i have to separate them, but how????

nothing, but absolutly nothing of the things you just showed realy worked out for me until now.

Hi Yuri,
its really rich content. Thanks for your tutorials.
Please continue your esp-idf tutorial. And kindly create video for TFT display with LVGL related stuff.
Thanks Advance.

Outdated content. The video is really good, clear and at a good pace. Unfortunatly the esp-idf has changed and it is way more integrated in VS now and easier to use. Anyway there is enough material for a new video to replace this one. Anyway thank you Yuri for your work.

action buttons is not work for me

Is there a reason why you dont use Espressiff's vscode extension? it seems to automate some of the things you explain on the video, like the c_cpp_properties.json configuration

Hi my antivirus flags ESP_IDF as a trojan

I am not getting the esp terminal configured in the VS code...????, But I am successfully able to modify the code from VS code and upload it through IDF terminal.....

thank you.

Nice! Thanks, bro!

Fantastic presentation

Hello Yuri. Thanks for doing this.
I am able to upload the code and the serial monitoring is working but the majority of the header files are not being found by VScode so the led isnt blinking. How can I fix that?
Thanks again man

none of my include statements are working properly. nothing was covered in the video about this. not sure if i did something wrong

Thanks a lot pal. As well it would be better to explait how to make it possible to debug the ESP32 project in the Visual Studio Code.

Thank you, Yuri, for an wonderful presentation. Can you make a tutorial about Matter protocol in ESP32

tenho crtz que é brasileiro kkkk, parabens pelos videos

I really wouldn’t suggest using the IDF framework. It’s so buggy to be install, leaves garbage all over the file system and can’t handle paths with spaces (I.E most people’s user dirs on windows) and generally unstable as the devs are constantly breaking compatibility. It’s much easier and quicker to just use the Arduino extension. You can then use VSCode to edit the code and compile and flash using Arduino.

Thanks for this excellent tutorial

Apart from the annoying background music: thank you, I learned some good new things!

Hi, where can I find about the C language for esp idf?

using C:\Espressif\idf_cmd_init.bat

Very Good Videos.. Keep it up..

could you please provide me your email id..need some help

Hi Yuri,
Many thanks for this tutorial. It is very helpful.
It would be great if you could share the commands used in "Configuring VS Code IDF" for VS code running on mac devices. Apparently these commands are not available for mac devices. Thank you :-)

What programming language is used in ESP

I ran across this video at the right time (almost)! I just spent two days setting up prerequisites for esp-idf and still wasn’t sure everything was right. And now I was facing setting up the idf with Visual Studio Code—and I can see, based on your video, that this would have been a painful process with lots of gotcha’s and a lot of things that I probably wouldn’t have figured out! I’ve watched all 3 of your videos, liked all 3 and subscribed! This is a HUGE help—THANK YOU! 😃 😃 😃

Yuti, appreciate all the hard work you put in to make these tutorials. They are amazing. Please make a tutorial on eSP-Now with IDF.
Thank uou

How can I use components to make a lora chat device with tcp ip with AES encryption

This is a very good video that helps setting up an environment for programming ESP devices in my favorite environment, VSCode. And being a hobbyist that has migrated from Adruino IDE to VSCODE, and using Platformio, this is refreshing. Now I just need to get my head around writing my code with ESP-IDF instead of the hand-holding the Arduino core gives me, but this tutorial certainly helps me to get my feet wet with that strategy. Thank you Yuri! I certainly appreciate your contribution!! [liked].[subscribed].[saved]

Hi Yuri, Thank you for doing this! It is very helpful and you are kind to help us. Q: How can I setup VSCode so that the ESP-IDF terminal is persistent across any new folder? In video2 we create a new folder, but the Terminal (idf) does not work and hence when the action buttons are clicked they fail due to missing path updates & variable. Any links or simple instruction would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you! joe

In VS-Code, I already had the PlatformIO , MS C/C++ plus Extension Pack, MS Makefile tools, Shortcut Menu Bar, VsCode Action Buttons, and EspressIF extensions installed, so I thought I would install the ESP-IDF (and Tools) from the EspressIf extension itself.. didn't work! The Express/Advanced install kept looking for the IDF before installing the IDF!

So I then tried, installing the EspressIf platform from inside the PlatformIO extension... which automatically downloads the framework when creating a new EspressIf project and choosing a platform (ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1) and Framework (EspressIf not Arduino). From the PlatformIO extension, the ini file can be modified and project built. But for whatever reason, it takes a LONG time to (download/configure) a new project.. even though it's still based on ESP32.

So, instead, I just installed IDF/Tools directly. The compile is quick via the command prompt (idf_py build), instead of opening VS-Code, opening the Folder.

Great vedio Yuri keep going ❤️❤️❤️

Action buttons do not appear to work, perhaps because of the new terminal configuration. I should first mention that everything else in this video worked perfectly, thank you!

The action buttons appear where they are supposed to and they open a terminal, which then runs the full IDF environment setup batch file. But by the time all that is done, the button command itself is lost and never runs. Note that I can successfully run any "idf .py" command in that terminal window that just opened from the button. But I could have done that in any regular terminal window.

Edit: I should add that I've found that while it never works on the initial click, it usually works if you click it a second time in a row. So it's somewhat usable - weirdly flaky though.

Hocam süpersin 👍👍👍
Aylardır Esp32 için yazmaya ve yüklemeye çalışıyorum fakat olmuyordu. Senin sayende esp serisi bir işlemciye geçiş yaptım ve vereceğin dersler doğrultusunda ilerlemeyi planlıyorum. Çok teşekkür ediyorum. 🙏🙏🙏

Does that mean we no longer need to install esp-idf extension? How do you compare this method of yours with using esp-idf extension?

'idf.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I am getting this error kindly help

Bahh vlw meu grande, teu video me ajudou demais.

I like this tutorial. you explain more in this video.

Bit confused what is going on here, are you coding in python and it generates the c? What is the point of this over the Arduino GUI which just deals with minimal files? If python is used, what is the point of the c? If python is uploaded is there an interpretor uploaded too, and does this slow things down? I appreciate there is a lot of questions here, feel free to give me a link where I can read up, or another one of your great videos!!!

How do you know which port on mac when using a USB hub?

Great video!
Has anyone tried this on a macos Monterey with a M1 Pro silicon?

just bought the esp32-s3 board,and feel it is realy horrible to me to start with,. I got no experience on RTOSs ,build CMDs , have no idea on Cmak,tool chains… a sad story..

Thanks for the video, you really helped me, also as a good brazilian I noticed your accent!

I use platformIO extension on vscode. this extension would manage most of the tasks with different type of boards.
