A beginner-friendly project to learn how to blink an LED using the ESP32 microcontroller. This repository contains the necessary code and instructions to get you started with ESP32 development using PlatformIO.
This project demonstrates how to blink an LED using the ESP32 microcontroller. Blinking an LED is a classic first project for beginners in the world of microcontroller programming.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- An ESP32 development board
- A USB cable to connect the ESP32 to your computer
- An LED and a resistor (typically 220Ω)
- Jumper wires
- A breadboard (optional)
- PlatformIO installed on your computer (instructions below)
-
Install PlatformIO:
- Install PlatformIO Core CLI: PlatformIO Installation Guide
- Alternatively, you can use the PlatformIO extension in Visual Studio Code: VSCode Extension
-
