I've been using PlatformIO and sometimes Arduino IDE for ESP32 development. I would like to know how Espressif-IDE compares to Visual Studio Code extension and the other two options. Is Espressif-IDE the best supported option for "serious" development, with most comprehensive features and new chips ...

I would like to get a simple blink test running on Adafruit QT Py ESP32-C3 board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5405) using C/C++ on VSCode and Ubunto 22.04. I installed ESP-IDF VS Code Extension. What is the standard way of using Adafruit or other libraries to control the neopixel on this board?...

Thank you, this solved my problem. For future readers, my issue was compounded with having two different types of ESP32-CAM boards. They have identical layout and differ only by ESP32-S module, which I just discovered. The modules with Espressif logo work just fine. They don't even need GPIO1 shorte...

What is the easiest way to get image capture capability with basic camera control on ESP32-CAM board using MicroPython? Preferably, a module I can just "pip install".

I would like to boot ESP32-CAM or load the program from TF/SD card. Is that possible? Preferably, using Platform I/O.

I'm using ESP32-CAM, which works fine with an external CP2102 USB/serial adapter, but gives me problems with two different ESP32-CAM-MB boards using these USB/serial chips: - QinHeng Electronics HL-340 - CH340C I'm testing with a simple blink script: #include <Arduino.h> void setup() { Serial.begin(...

There are a lot of wide angle camera modules for ESP32-CAM available, but as far as I know, almost all of them have glue applied to lens thread. I'm looking for a supplier of modules with lens not glued to its holder, so I can easily adjust the focus to extreme closeup, about 2-3". I would appreciat...
