This repository hosts all projects for ESP32 chipset. Projects hosted here will be mainly using ESP-IDF, few with Arduino ESP support. All are PlatformIO projects. These projects use Wemos Lolin board with OLED display, but any board with ESP32 chipset should work.
Use the following instructions to install PlatformIO.
"WebUpd8" maintains the unofficial PPA. Check here: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/atom
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/atom
sudo apt update; sudo apt install atom
If you are on an older release of Ubuntu, you might have to use apt-get in the command above.
-
Launch Atom.io. By default the Welcome page should have been open, which will have a button to Install packages. If not, open Setup and launch the Package manager from there.
-
As a prerequisite, you will need
clangon your system. This is for autocompletion of code. To install use this
sudo apt-get install clang
-
Search for
PlatformIOand install the PlatformIO-IDE. This will take about 15-20 minutes on average. If you have not installed clang, or are following this guide from midway, you might get a prompt that Clang is not installed and it is needed for autocompletion. Check the section above on how to installclang. -
Atom Dependencies should take about a year to finish installing. After it does, Atom will prompt you to re-launch the application. There might be a few cleanup activities, during which you can have a shave and get ready for ESP32 programming.
