Power of ESP-IDF

In the first chapter of this book, I highlighted that when it comes to ESP32 development, there are two paths one can take: the ESP32 Arduino core and ESP-IDF. These are essentially two different toolkits or approaches you can take to work with the ESP32 microcontroller, each offering its own set of features and advantages.

The ESP Arduino core, being beginner-friendly, has been used in this book using the Arduino IDE, but to unlock the full potential of ESP32, ESP-IDF is recommended, which provides more features and a low-level approach for ESP32 development. In this section, we will explore the power of ESP-IDF and will compare it with the ESP32 Arduino core, which will give you a starting point to get started with ESP-IDF.

What is ESP-IDF?

ESP-IDF is an official development framework for ESP32 microcontrollers and supplies a collection of libraries, tools, and APIs tailored for the development of applications using ESP32 microcontrollers. It provides a...
