## Development Status
Most of the framework is implemented. Most noticable is the missing analogWrite. While analogWrite is on it's way, there are a few other options that you can use:
- 16 channels [LEDC](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/cores/esp32/esp32-hal-ledc.h) which is PWM
- 8 channels [SigmaDelta](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/cores/esp32/esp32-hal-sigmadelta.h) which uses SigmaDelta modulation
- 2 channels [DAC](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/cores/esp32/esp32-hal-dac.h) which gives real analog output
- 16 channels [LEDC](cores/esp32/esp32-hal-ledc.h) which is PWM
- 8 channels [SigmaDelta](cores/esp32/esp32-hal-sigmadelta.h) which uses SigmaDelta modulation
- 2 channels [DAC](cores/esp32/esp32-hal-dac.h) which gives real analog output

## Installation Instructions

### Using through Arduino IDE

#### [Instructions for Windows](doc/windows.md)

#### Instructions for Mac
- Install latest Arduino IDE from [arduino.cc](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
- Open Terminal and execute the following command (copy->paste and hit enter):

```bash
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
cd ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git esp32 && \
cd esp32/tools/ && \
python get.py
```
- Restart Arduino IDE

#### Instructions for Debian/Ubuntu Linux
- Install latest Arduino IDE from [arduino.cc](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
- Open Terminal and execute the following command (copy->paste and hit enter):

```bash
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER && \
sudo apt-get install git && \
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py && \
sudo python get-pip.py && \
sudo pip install pyserial && \
mkdir -p ~/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
cd ~/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git esp32 && \
cd esp32/tools/ && \
python get.py
```
- Restart Arduino IDE

#### Instructions for Fedora
- Install the latest Arduino IDE from [arduino.cc](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software). `$ sudo dnf -y install arduino` will most likely install an older release.
- Open Terminal and execute the following command (copy->paste and hit enter):

```bash
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER && \
sudo dnf install git python3-pip python3-pyserial && \
mkdir -p ~/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
cd ~/Arduino/hardware/espressif && \
git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git esp32 && \
cd esp32/tools/ && \
python get.py
```

#### Decoding exceptions

You can use [EspExceptionDecoder](https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder) to get meaningful call trace.

### Using PlatformIO

[PlatformIO](http://platformio.org) is an open source ecosystem for IoT
development with cross platform build system, library manager and full support
for Espressif ESP32 development. It works on the popular host OS: Mac OS X, Windows,
Linux 32/64, Linux ARM (like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, CubieBoard).

- [What is PlatformIO?](http://docs.platformio.org/page/what-is-platformio.html)
- [PlatformIO IDE](http://platformio.org/platformio-ide)
- Quick Start with [PlatformIO IDE](http://docs.platformio.org/page/ide/atom.html#quick-start) or [PlatformIO Core](http://docs.platformio.org/page/core.html)
- [Integration with Cloud and Standalone IDEs](http://docs.platformio.org/page/ide.html) -
Cloud9, Codeanywehre, Eclipse Che (Codenvy), Atom, CLion, Eclipse, Emacs, NetBeans, Qt Creator, Sublime Text, VIM and Visual Studio
- [Project Examples](https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/tree/develop/examples)
- [Using "Stage" (Git) version of Arduino Core](http://docs.platformio.org/page/platforms/espressif32.html#using-arduino-framework-with-staging-version)

### Building with make
#### Issue/Bug report template
Before reporting an issue, make sure you've searched for similar one that was already created. Also make sure to go through all the issues labelled as [for reference](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20label%3A%22for%20reference%22%20).

[makeEspArduino](https://github.com/plerup/makeEspArduino) is a generic makefile for any ESP8266/ESP32 Arduino project.
Using make instead of the Arduino IDE makes it easier to do automated and production builds.
Finally, if you're sure no one else had the issue, follow the [ISSUE_TEMPLATE](docs/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md) while reporting any issue.

### Using as ESP-IDF component
- Download and install [esp-idf](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf)
- Create blank idf project (from one of the examples)
- in the project folder, create a folder called components and clone this repository inside

```bash
mkdir -p components && \
cd components && \
git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git arduino && \
cd .. && \
make menuconfig
```
- ```make menuconfig``` has some Arduino options
- "Autostart Arduino setup and loop on boot"
- If you enable this options, your main.cpp should be formated like any other sketch

```arduino
//file: main.cpp
#include "Arduino.h"
void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop(){
Serial.println("loop");
delay(1000);
}
```

- Else you need to implement ```app_main()``` and call ```initArduino();``` in it.
Keep in mind that setup() and loop() will not be called in this case.
If you plan to base your code on examples provided in [esp-idf](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples), please make sure move the app_main() function in main.cpp from the files in the example.
```arduino
//file: main.cpp
#include "Arduino.h"

extern "C" void app_main()
{
initArduino();
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
//do your own thing
}
```
- "Disable mutex locks for HAL"
- If enabled, there will be no protection on the drivers from concurently accessing them from another thread/interrupt/core
- "Autoconnect WiFi on boot"
- If enabled, WiFi will start with the last known configuration
- Else it will wait for WiFi.begin
- ```make flash monitor``` will build, upload and open serial monitor to your board

## Hint

Sometimes to program ESP32 via serial you must keep GPIO0 LOW during the programming process
