over arduino?
I am thinking about switching over
If you’re an experienced firmware pro, then ESP-IDF with FreeRTOS is definitely the way to go. Arduino is a good choice if you’re completely new to the ESP series. In my experience, using the Arduino IDE can lead to limitations in efficient memory usage and occasional issues with third-party libraries that require extra effort
depends on what do you want to do.. i wouldn’t choose a platform without knowing and understanding the requirements of the project
I mean I would avoid both, but @techielew thinks I’m weird.
can someone go over setting up using both arduino and esp-idf as frameworks for a project?
Do you mean how to set up Arduino IDE for programming ESP32? Here’s the video you might find useful <https://youtu.be/AitCKcyjHuQ>
no
platformio
with esp32
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to try PlatformIO yet
Perhaps someone else can point you to relevant resources
so do we prefer esp-idf or platformio?
for esp-idf with use of arduino esp32 components
im trying to decide between the two
platformio is supposed to be simple, but its honestly giving me a headache
i think my esp-idf is configured
My personal experience with Platform io was good as it supported Arduino core, worked mostly well the VS code and FreeRTOS giving access to plenty of libraries . I saw an announcement that now they have support for Zephyr as well.
ESP idf is great to debug and take better when you intend to have encryption, one time flash and all that.
