Ardunio IDE does not see ESP32 Thing board
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:58 pm
Hello,
I've just bought an ESP32 Thing from Sparkfun, installed Arduino IDE 1.8.5 on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit.
I've followed the steps at this link- without any problems.
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/es ... mple-blink
However, when I get to the "Select the Board and Port" section, the Arduino IDE does
not show the BOARD: ESP32 Dev Module.
The USB driver installed correctly, as a new COM port now shows up, and the IDE
does see the COM port.
I've installed the esp32 files in both the C:/Program Files (x86)/Arduino/hardware and
the sketchbook directories. Neither location is correct.
Is the tutorial out of date or did I do something wrong?
thanks
