What IDE can be used for the ESP-MESH ?

[DutchOrange]

Hey So i want to make this mesh https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... /mesh.html
Iam planning to make it in the Arduino IDE but I dont see any libraries, Is this possible ?

We don't offer ESP-Mesh specific config/IDE, yet you can use both VS Code Extension or Eclipse Plugin for general ESP-IDF development.

Can I still use all the features in the Arduino IDE ? Mainly because in the documentation there are no libraries
to use for the Arduino IDE.

ESP-IDF is used in our documentation for ESP-MESH development as shown in and we have some MESH examples in ESP-IDF examples directory.

The official development framework for Espressif SoC is ESP-IDF.

Arduino IDE uses libraries that are generated by taking ESP-IDF and building Arduino libraries such as https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32 .

As you can see, official support from Espressif and the documentation of APIs are based on ESP-IDF. There are some features in ESP-IDF that are not available in Arduino libraries such as menuconfig and configuration could be more complicated as shown in the discussion https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5669 . You can still use Arduino as ESP-IDF as component as explained in https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... mponent.md

For best compatibility, we recommend to use ESP-IDF, and if IDE features are desired, we support Visual Studio Code and Eclipse plugin

Thanks for the Reply, I just need to now correctly setup one of them.
