Hi, should this code work with Visual Studio code ?
I have got it working with Arduino IDE, but I’m normally using VSC.
Thanks

"Great resource, thanks for the detailed steps! I remember getting stuck with the dreaded “Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out…” error multiple times. It was frustrating until I learned the trick with holding down the BOOT button. Once I sorted that out, everything ran smoothly. Speaking of challenges, I recently had to upgrade Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, and the linked guide really simplified the whole process. Kudos for sharing these solutions!"

In reply to James Pattinson. There is now a ESP32 Wroom Module in the Arduino IDE Espressif board manager for anyone still interested in this. I am going to test it on the ESP-WROOM-32 because I have that chip, but it has known power management issues so I will most likely be switching to the ESP-WROOM-32E. I'll post my findings.

Please help me. How can fix this:
”this error originates from pyserial. it is likely not a problem with esptool, but with the hardware connection or drivers.”
I use esp32cam with esp32cam-mb

Following up on my previous post, I found my issue. I was looking at “Library Manager” and not “Boards Manager”. Under Boards Manager, I did indeed find the esp32 board, and I’m currently installing it.
Thanks for the tutorial!

Hi.
The wifi library for the ESP32 is simply WiFi.h
