Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF, Make menuconfig

[Lancsrick]

Hi everyone,

Hopefully I've got the right sub-forum for this, so here goes.

I'm taking my first steps into ESP32 from Arduino, and I'm failing in setting up my toolchain. What I'm trying to do...

- I want to be able to use some of the Arduino libraries to help with I2C peripherals
- I need to be able to edit the component config in order to enable the external XTAL 32khz clock input
- Must be Windows based.

The fact I'm failing to find this in Googling suggests I'm missing something obvious here, but any help will be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Try platformIO. Its the simplest way to get started for ESP32.

Thank you, making some progress with PIO .
