Since I use VS Code with the ESP32 hardware development kit to demonstrate some of the theory explained in this channel, I thought it might be a good idea to describe how my environment is set up. This includes the installation of the ESP-IDF extension and a demonstration of the compiling, flashing, and execution of a sample program. Visual Studio Code can be downloaded from
