1. Introduction
Using either the Arduino IDE 2.0.x available here or the Visual Studio Code (PlatformIO) IDE I'll talk you through getting a simple web page to be served up from your ESP32 (yes, the ESP8266 works too, but you will have to read the information on the libraries to make it work).
2a. Installing the libraries (Arduino method)
Go to the following GitHub site and download the following libraries:
- ESPAsyncWebServer
- AsyncTCP (if you are using ESP8266 download ESPsyncTCP instead)
Go to the following GitHub site and download the following library:
- AsyncElegantOTA (same library for ESP32 & ESP8266)
They will download as ZIP files with the suffix -master. Ignore all that! Just remember where you downloaded them to!
Go to the Arduino IDE and click Sketch-> Include Library -> Add.ZIP library and click the downloaded library ZIP files.
Done!
2b. Installing the libraries (PlatformIO method)
Ensure your platformio.ini file includes the lib_deps like this:
3. All code for both environments is in this GitHub!
Just click big green "CODE" button above and choose the ZIP file download to your PC. Then unzip and you have everything you might need!
4. ESP32 Tools settings (in the dropdown Tools menu in the Arduino IDE)
