Hi everyone! It has been a while!
As many of you mentioned, the IDF Terminal configuration inside VS CODE is broken here, so I added a new video with the fix: th-cam.com/video/N93RvZz6dEc/w-d-xo.html
New videos are coming soon! And much more!
Thanks for the support and yes, I'm still alive!🙂
Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much. Its very helpful and for me this was the only solution. Thank you very much 💗
I ran across this video at the right time (almost)! I just spent two days setting up prerequisites for esp-idf and still wasn’t sure everything was right. And now I was facing setting up the idf with Visual Studio Code-and I can see, based on your video, that this would have been a painful process with lots of gotcha’s and a lot of things that I probably wouldn’t have figured out! I’ve watched all 3 of your videos, liked all 3 and subscribed! This is a HUGE help-THANK YOU! 😃 😃 😃
I have never seen any video more useful than yours about ESP. you really directly guide to common problems everyone has!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad the videos are helpful :)
This is a fantastic video! I tried installing ESP-IDF through VS code extensions and ran into a million problems, then was just running ESP-IDF through CMD and it worked, but wasn't a huge fan. This is exactly what I was looking for! Hope you continue to make videos like this!!
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad it helped you! New videos are coming soon, I hope you like them!
Thank youu for your tutorial, I've been struggling to set up the esp-idf extension for a week. your way is much better :). cannot wait to see your next video
Thanks for your comment! Glad to know it was useful! Next video in a few days :)
You are an execent teacher, thank you. You made it so simple! been batling with VSCode and ESP for months now.
Thank you for your kind words! I try to keep it as simple as possible and add as much content in one video as I can :) I'm glad it helped!
Congratulations Yuri. This tutorial was perfect. unfortunately i had already learned this but it will certainly help many devs with this tutorial. Please do more tutorials like this
Thanks for the support! More tutorials coming soon :)
One of the best tutorial for the topic on ESP32 , Its easy to follow, precise,and a lot to learn in short video. Excellent tutorial

Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for this video. It helped me understand how people get started with coding IDF.
Thanks Matthew! I'm glad you liked it! More IDF videos coming soon.
Well done sir! I am staring to get into IoT hacking and the esp32 is the first board I have purchased. I can't wait to watch more of these.
Thank you so much! Next videos coming soon! :)
Very good! I'm anxious for the next video.
Thank you! New video coming this week :)
Congratulations man!!! Great video!
Thanks Josepe!
Great! You just explained in one video that I've been trying to get my head round in months, thanks.
Not sure what your plans are for other topics, could I suggest the ESP mesh
Thank you so much for your comment! The idea is to pack as much information as possible in one video.
And yes ESP Mesh is one of the topics coming in future videos!
Thanks for your time. Waiting for the next video. Good luck
Thanks for the comment! New video coming soon!
Que massa meu! Excelente qualidade teu vídeo! Boa sorte nessa nova empreitada!!
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it!
Very Nice and informative video. I didn't find any video of this quality on the subject. Looking at the quality of the content I don't want to miss any future video, so I subscribed.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words and subscription! New videos are coming soon this week!
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing the video!
Thank you for the comment!
By far the best explanation I have seen. The only missing part is JTAG debugging.
Thank you for your kind words. Keep in tune for the next video coming in a few days 😁
This is a very good video that helps setting up an environment for programming ESP devices in my favorite environment, VSCode. And being a hobbyist that has migrated from Adruino IDE to VSCODE, and using Platformio, this is refreshing. Now I just need to get my head around writing my code with ESP-IDF instead of the hand-holding the Arduino core gives me, but this tutorial certainly helps me to get my feet wet with that strategy. Thank you Yuri! I certainly appreciate your contribution!! [liked].[subscribed].[saved]
I'm glad it helped Gary! Thanks for all the comments and welcome to IDF :)
Excellent instructional video, thanks for your detailed explanations. Subscribed!
Thank you so much for the comment and support!
Excellent ! Many thanks for sharing. Yes ESP mesh would be a good topic to explore.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, ESP Mesh is in the plans for the future videos :)
Hocam süpersin 👍👍👍
Aylardır Esp32 için yazmaya ve yüklemeye çalışıyorum fakat olmuyordu. Senin sayende esp serisi bir işlemciye geçiş yaptım ve vereceğin dersler doğrultusunda ilerlemeyi planlıyorum. Çok teşekkür ediyorum. 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you liked it! More videos coming soon :)
Nice work! That worked for me! Thanks.
Great to hear!
Thanks for the video, you really helped me, also as a good brazilian I noticed your accent!
Wonderful video. Very useful video tutorial. Thank you very much ❤
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Very helpful..
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad it helped!
This was great. Please make more.
I'm glad you liked, new videos coming soon :)
@@YuriR thanks yuri. Best of luck for the channel. 😊
THANKS, after watching your video I'm ready to give it a 2nd try using your "Easy" approach. I had just given up trying to install ESP32 IDF Extension in vscode...
BTW, I notice PlatformIO also has support for Espressif boards, but the last time I tried installing PlatformIO I ran out of disk space. It seems to want to install EVERYTHING up front even for boards I know I'll never use... uggh.
Thanks again for a great video. I just signed up for your mailing list and am looking forward to watching your other videos. 👍👍
Thanks for the vid. It really put some things together for me.
Thank you. Glad it helped!
Hi Yuri
Great Video, made my life simpler

Great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks for the comment Mica!
Thank for your tutorial is help me so much in my project, It easy than esp-idf extension:)))))) nice work bro 😎 +1sub
Thank you! I'm glad it helped! New videos coming soon!
@@YuriR i hope it ‘s about gatt server library :)))
@@YuriR I'm still waiting for your new video.
Thank you, Yuri, for an wonderful presentation. Can you make a tutorial about Matter protocol in ESP32
Great vedio Yuri keep going ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! More videos coming soon!
Thanks for explain and share you knowledge! I tried setup IDF with platformio without success.
Thank you for the comment and for liking the video!
Great video Yuri, thank you! Do you have any idea why the action buttons sometimes work and sometimes don't? I haven't been able to figure out under what conditions they work or not work. Sometimes, I have to hit Run twice before it works --very strange...Something has to be wrong with my installation, but I haven't figured out what. Could there be conflict between settings in the espressif-idf extenstion configuration and the VS action buttons ?
Nice! Thanks, bro!
Hi Yuri,
its really rich content. Thanks for your tutorials.
Please continue your esp-idf tutorial. And kindly create video for TFT display with LVGL related stuff.
Thanks Advance.
ありがとうございます！
This is very Help full and cool
If you are having problems with Python 3.9 (I did), add an environment variable called PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL with the value "dl.espressif.com/pypi" (without the quotations). This fixed my build environment after installing
Thanks for sharing your solution!
Thank you for the video
Fantastic presentation
I am glad you liked it.
Супер! Спасибо. Слушать можно на любом языке. Просто включаешь субтитры и переводишь на русский.
Thanks for the comment! Great to know!
Great! big thanks man
No problem, thank you!
Super video and first class introduction to the ESP toolchain!
Unfortunately so far the first and last video on your channel... 😢😢😢
Thank you so much for the comments! I'm back :) more videos coming soon!
Hello Yuri. Thanks for doing this.
I am able to upload the code and the serial monitoring is working but the majority of the header files are not being found by VScode so the led isnt blinking. How can I fix that?
Thanks again man
Outdated content. The video is really good, clear and at a good pace. Unfortunatly the esp-idf has changed and it is way more integrated in VS now and easier to use. Anyway there is enough material for a new video to replace this one. Anyway thank you Yuri for your work.
Is there a reason why you dont use Espressiff's vscode extension? it seems to automate some of the things you explain on the video, like the c_cpp_properties.json configuration
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful. I had one problem though in that at the terminal, my system still wants to run Python v2.7. Any idea why that is hanging on?
Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delay in replying. Sounds like an environment variable issue. It's possible that your terminal is not loading the IDF variables (that contain the PATH to the correct python version). You could try the Quick Fix link that I've added in the description for the most recent IDF issue on VS Code and see how it goes.
I like this tutorial. you explain more in this video.
Glad you liked it!
Super Handy... Thanks a ton Brother..
No problem 👍:)
You are a genius
Thank you!😅 More videos coming soon!
Amazing!
Thank you so much!
Very Good Videos.. Keep it up..
Bro! Thanks so much!
No problem, thanks for the comment!
Thank you!
No worries, thank you!
Nice tutorial. Did you also look at the VS Code ESP IDF extension? Or did that not exist when you produced this tutorial? It seems the extension makes it even easier.
Thanks for the comment! Indeed with the new updates on the extension, it looks a lot more reliable! Although I personally prefer having maximum control of the environment and everything regarding the project. But the extension is a good alternative.
Please do a series!
Coming soon! :)
At "04.50" the two commands "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" and "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows"are now deprecated.
What is the solution now?
Deprecated means it still works until some future version. The problem is the startup bat file not finding python. Tried using .espressif/idf_cmd_init.bat instead of esp-idf/export.bat (which gets called by idf_cmd_init), but that didn't work either. Guess it needs some hax to set *PATH correctly.
I don't know why, but somehow this is how it works with the recommended shell profiles:
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
"Command Prompt": {
"path": [
"${env:windir}\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe",
"${env:windir}\\System32\\cmd.exe"
],
"args": [
"/k",
"C:/esp/esp-idf/export.bat && C:/esp/esp-idf/export.bat",
],
"icon": "terminal-cmd"
},
}
}
Somehow I need to run export.bat two times
Hi Rajbir, sorry for the delay. I made a quick video with the fix, you can check it here: th-cam.com/video/N93RvZz6dEc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Yuri, Thank you for doing this! It is very helpful and you are kind to help us. Q: How can I setup VSCode so that the ESP-IDF terminal is persistent across any new folder? In video2 we create a new folder, but the Terminal (idf) does not work and hence when the action buttons are clicked they fail due to missing path updates & variable. Any links or simple instruction would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you! joe
Cool video, thanks :)
Thank you! :)
Hi Yuri, this video is so great for me. :) Thank you very much.
I have some question, can this installation and tools use with ESP8266?
Hi Jatu, thanks for the comment! Unfortunately it doesn't apply for the ESP8266 :(
i enjoy it 🎉❤
Great Video ty
Thank you!
I use platformIO extension on vscode. this extension would manage most of the tasks with different type of boards.
Greetings from Brasil!
Thank you, hi Brazil!
Hi Yuri,
Many thanks for this tutorial. It is very helpful.
It would be great if you could share the commands used in "Configuring VS Code IDF" for VS code running on mac devices. Apparently these commands are not available for mac devices. Thank you :-)
none of my include statements are working properly. nothing was covered in the video about this. not sure if i did something wrong
Parabéns meu galo. Legal a ideia. Pena que foi um pouco tarde para mim, já tinha feito isso.
Thanks Maiko!
Dear Yuri,
At time 5:07 you say open an new TERMINAL: but the I get the message IDF_PATH environment variable needs to be set to use this tool
What should I do now?
thank you.
excelleent!
Thank you!
Great! didn't see you mention Python, seems used idf-python only? I got build error: [904/906] Linking CXX executable blink.elfFAILED: blink.elf, how to fix?
Hi, very informative video! I have a short question about the error shown at 7:41, on my Win7 machine I also have these lines, saying "sys
eent.h" file missing, I would like to ask if this matters? Because later I would develop with the RTOS package.
Thanks for the comment! It shouldn't matter. This error means that VS Code is not finding those files, but it doesn't mean that the compiler doesn't know where they are. So you should be ok. RTOS videos coming in the future :)
@@YuriR But isn't there some way to add it ? It is annoying to get this error. Greetings
Hi @ThePatrol101 yes, you can add this line to your c_cpp_properties.json in the "includePath" section:
"C:/esp/.espressif/tools/xtensa-esp32-elf/**"
Adjust the path to your case (Just basically locate your xtensa-esp32-elf folder and add it there). :)
Thanks for the video! However, my VS code terminal won't recognize the python venv of esp-idf. I added its path, but idf.py still uses the regular python interpreter. Also when I changed the blink.code-workspace settings. Do you know the solution?
source venv/bin/activate
Thanks for the comment. I've added a link with a fix for an issue inside the latest VS Code versions. You could try following that, and check if VS Code has permissions to load the environment variables (it shows a popup asking for permissions and you have to allow it). I hope it helps!
Action buttons do not appear to work, perhaps because of the new terminal configuration. I should first mention that everything else in this video worked perfectly, thank you!
The action buttons appear where they are supposed to and they open a terminal, which then runs the full IDF environment setup batch file. But by the time all that is done, the button command itself is lost and never runs. Note that I can successfully run any "idf .py" command in that terminal window that just opened from the button. But I could have done that in any regular terminal window.
Edit: I should add that I've found that while it never works on the initial click, it *usually* works if you click it a second time in a row. So it's somewhat usable - weirdly flaky though.
Thanks a lot pal. As well it would be better to explait how to make it possible to debug the ESP32 project in the Visual Studio Code.
Bahh vlw meu grande, teu video me ajudou demais.
Glad it helped!
Hello. I want to learn how to program ESP 32 modules. Can you tell me where to start for a newbie? Are there any good courses or books?
Yuri, this is an awesome tutorial! Could you possibly do a similar version for linux as well as the esp-idf extension?
Hi Oldazcat2, thank you so much! Will possibly do it in the future!
Thank you
No worries, Thank you!
This is an excellent video, ditch the background music. Waiting for your next video, please show websockets!!
Thanks for the comment! Still checking what's the best way to have a good balance between background music to make it more dynamic and just the plain voiceover. Thanks for the suggestion!
I am using rust programing language what changes should i make
Excellent - thank you! A great tutorial and very nicely produced. In setting up the workspace settings (around 4:50 in your video) VS Code objects with this message: "This is deprecated, the new recommended way to configure your default shell is by creating a terminal profile in `#terminal.integrated.profiles.windows#` and setting its profile name as the default in `#terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows#`. This will currently take priority over the new profiles settings but that will change in the future.". Will the settings you explain still work?
Thanks for the comment! Indeed, VS Code now doesn't accept those configurations anymore. Please find a new video link with the fix in the description of this video!
hi, nice video ! By the way, any plan to explain debugging (in Vscode) ? and also will you do Eclipse ide as well? Thank you
+1 this one ☝️
Thank you for the comment! Keep in tune for the new video this week! :)
Great video the esp-idf extension fails a lot, I did the terminal configuration in "Preferences: User Settings" so I have not to save a new workspace for each time I open a file, works great!
Thanks for the comment! That was a great idea, since VS Code stopped supporting the configuration inside the workspace file, and now we should do like you did!
