Tutorial
Beetle ESP32 adopts CH340 serial chip that can be used without driver among most devices. If you find the driver is not installed automatically after plugging into the device, you can install it manually: click to download the CH340 driver program.
Set Arduino IDE Development Environment
- Plug FireBeetle to your computer, install the driver manually.
- Add FireBeetle Board URL to Arduino IDE
- Open Arduino IDE, File->Preferences, find Additional Boards Manager URLs, copy the below link, and paste in the blank.
http://download.dfrobot.top/FireBeetle/package_esp32_index.json
File->Preferences
paste url here
- Click OK
- Open Tools->Board->Boards Manager, waiting automatic update. You'll find FireBeetle-ESP32
Now, the development environment has been installed, you can use it like a normal Arduino board.
Sample Code - Blink
The default LED for Beetle Board-ESP32 is D9, input following code:
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(D9, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(D9, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(D9, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
