Environment configuration of ESP32 (arduino arduino2.0 VScode platform which is easy to use?)

For ESP32, ESP8266, ESP-C and other series of chips, there are many development environments to choose from. The libraries include the official IDF library and the arduino library, and the development tools include the official development tools and arduino, arduino2,And VScode.There are many choices, some students may not be able to choose a better development tool for a while, or waste a lot of time in the process of configuring the environment

Let's talk about several development environments:

ESP32 can be programmed with Arduino. Compared with STM32, it is "humanized" enough. At least the library is fully packaged and the operation is much simpler.

If you use the official arduino platform, you need to download the ESP32 support library before you can use it. I remember that it took a lot of time to configure the ESP32 support library. Because the download speed on the official software is very slow, so my ownAfter downloading the library files one by one on Github, they can be used in the specified directory.

And the official version of the arduino editor cannot jump to some common operations such as definition, even the IDE of arduino 2.0 is not very easy to use.Compared to Keil, it still feels a little lacking.

I once installed the arduino support package on VScode, but every time I loaded a project, I needed to add the file path to the VScode configuration file. At that time, I was frantically looking for files and file headers under the ten-layer folder of the C drive..Later, I found the files that can be wildcarded after adding "**" after the header folder of esp32. However, because the header files conflict with each other, they need to be subdivided and included.

Later, I also used Platformio in VScode to add the ESP32 library, which was very easy to use.
