How to set up Arduino IDE for ESP32

1. Download and install the free Arduino IDE program, if it is not on the computer already.

2.  You need to tell the program which microprocessor you are using (ESP32).  To do that, choose Board  and then Board Manager from the Tools tab at the top.


3. Type "ESP32 dev" in the Board Manager search bar.  Then clock on Install.


4. Use dropdown at the top to select the board.



5. Search for "ESP32S3 Dev" and choose it,.  Also, select the port on the right and click OK.  If the usbc cable is properly connected to your computer, the port should have "(USB)". at the end of the name.



6. Finally, set USB CDC on Boot to Enabled in the Tools tab.
These instructions apply to the ESP32  for this program.  Other boards may require different settings.
