Видео

Your video provided my first exposure to PlatformIO. Your presentation style is very informative, and your dry sense of humor is very funny! Following your video I was up and running in PlatformIO (had to install Visual Studio Code first) within about an hour. Excellent video!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I wanted to try a new IDE other than Arduino and I found the Visual Code to be appealing but overwhelming. This IDE is feature-packed but yes, it can be tricky. I enjoyed this tutorial even though I'm still such a newbie and need to figure out a couple things still, but this is a great start for me.

I would like to program an esp8266 to control my mini CNC I just built.

i have a problem when my serial monitor is open and i upload code. i get permission error i doesn't work like yours

Why this is not working for me?. You must have installed arduino IDE 2.0, previous to run this debugging method?. i have donwload libraries and copy to include folder. Not debugging. Thanks in advanced for your prompt reply.

Subbed. Absolutely GOATED video. Pacing, information, humor, all on point!

I installed PIO but when i make a serial monitor based projects in esp32 devkitc v4 i cant get any text its just only rts off dts off poweron reset etc. can anyone help me

Yes - 15 steps to just start an actual project. I can see how that's far superior to the Arduino IDE's automatic opening of a new project or the last opened one.

Nope.

90% of my projects named test😂

very nice video. based on his intresting humor. i think this guy is from deutsland ( germany ) ?

don't buy. avoid it, can't upload any sketches without unless you are pressing the reset button

Great video! Love the nerd energy. Unfortunately, however, it (and other comments) have only confirmed that software debugging is just not going to cut it for me anymore, and it's just time to move onto real hardware debugging.... I've avoided it for way too long, because it's going to require learning another new thing and spending more money, but my projects have grown to a higher level of complexity that Serial print "debugging" is only making worse. And so far, with these software stub debuggers, I'm seeing a lot of problems they just can't handle, especially if you're writing and debugging libraries. Plus, the whole idea of hidden code being added to my compile in the background, just doesn't sit well with me. Although, I do want to throw a bit of shade at Arduino here: I love arduino... I have their stickers on everything around here... But, the lack of a more sophisticated debugging system, built-in, is really disappointing. The fact that their official "debugging" is to suggest using Serial.print, is a little goofy actually, considering how big they are and how seriously they're used by some. Like, with all the new stuff they've added to recent board revisions, why they haven't just added a hardware debugger onto it is a little silly. It would only be an extra chip and a few components, because the MCU itself fully supports JTAG (hence why some boards even have the JTAG header on them).

but it cannot debug arduino DUE right?

Ja Das ist gut

that means u put ur .h files in the lib file and in the include file?

So if I understand correctly one can use a commercial software-only solution (Visual Studio + Visual Micro Arduino Extension) for stepping thru code, but that has many limitations... OR.. you can use a JTAG Adapter (esp-prog) and open-source software (VS Code + PlatformIO), and that offers the best debugging experience? However, is there any chance one might accidentally overwrite the built-in bootloader using jtag? I'd like to avoid the Arduino IDE flow ( setup() , loop() , etc) and instead use an RTOS like FreeRTOS or Zephyr! BTW, I understand the ESP32 comes in either a dual core option (Tensilicia Xtensa LX6 microprocessor) or single core (Risc-V) option.. does debugging with an esp-prog support both lx6 cores... as well as debugging ESP-C3's risc-v? I recall seeing an older IDF 4.3 video (YuriR?) that describes setting up json files (prerun, launch, tasks) that makes it so that OpenOCD/GDB starts automatically , resets the target, loads a particular binary onto a particular memory address, etc. Are things more integrated these days (with v5.2.3) such that these configuration files are no longer needed?

Thank you a lot mr programmer :-)

This is a perfect introduction for me! I'm not new to microcontrollers, nor development, nor VS Code - I just wanted to know about PlatformIO specifically, and you did that in 10 minutes!

vscodium FTW.

Useful and funny as well!! Thanks.

One question: where do I find those .h files that you added?

I think you did a great job in thre previously video I learn so much thank you

Amazing intro I love it!

guyz help me when i switch to platform io it work but is show a lot of cmd apps how to get read of them

Hello i am new on vs code have project but could not remove errors can anyone help

Bro is making proggramming into hillariamming (programming + hilarius)

As someone who is just slowly getting started in the Arduino/ESP world, you are exactly the type of RUclipsr you need. Thanks !

Part 2?

u good mf

Proper video mate! many thanks, keep it up legend!

I didn’t see the .ino file, is that unnecessary for the project?

A linking tutorial would be very helpful. I cannot get it to consistently link libraries and dependencies. It seems to parse them some projects yet not for others and I cannot figure out why. Searching web I see a lot of forum posts with similar linking issues. It's to point where coding is almost pointless because it won't link certain things. Yet Arduino despite being a very crude IDE has no issues linking.

How can I debug an ESP-01?

This is cool. I just started playing esp32 development and my brief search on OOP in C basically just resulted in multiple people saying don't. As a result, I instead opted to create a few psuedo-classes using structs with internal functions. I was still using the Arduino IDE, forcing me to have everything in a single file. Now I'm just curious about the pros/cons of structs vs classes.

Not knowing how to installing VS Code does not make someone stupid. it makes then... Not trained on VS Code So.. Why don't you just include that part of the video instead of making a pointless statement clearly you want to look cool clearly you are young AND I GET ALL THAT , that's fine But in your coolness, Why don't you just try to be helpful to the younger one who don't know how to do it , Is it really that much skin off your nose if you were to take a minute to show people how to install it if you want to talk about STUPID People are more stupid if they don't ask, right ? and this IS ACTUALLY a Beginner video, it's not a Pro video and No, We don't instantly know what you're thinking, some of us (Like me) it's our first time here, I have no idea who you are , but you've made a bad first impression. Food for thought

look me in the eye when you drink ur coffee

You explained this so well I have subscribed to your channel.

Bro what do you smoke

Very cool.. never heard of VSCodium nor WROOM! I'm interested in using the ESP-PROG to debug via JTAG, but having issues with configuring OpenOCD / VS-Code / Platform-IO . BTW, when single-stepping via JTAG, is it running from the chip's RAM or is it from FLASH.. or does it depend on the linker script? (I'm wondering in case you cycle power, does the ESP32 have the last program debugged?)

You should make more videos, they are great. I love the way you present them.

meh ima stick with Arduino ide for now

I really appreciate the help and explanation. It helped me get through some hurdles for starting off. I had almost given up on this. I was having issues with my arduino mega 2560, but following a reddit thread about starting the project using "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560 ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)" instead of "...(microchip)" really did the trick for me. Thanks to you and others posting these tutorials and laying down a breadcrumb trail to help us find the solutions we need.

De ce sa stie ce fac eu?

Can i use a git hub code originally made for arduino in esp 32 ?

I am astonished that I did not know this is possible, OK it's not a true debugger but it does the one thing that helps debug code i.e. it stops at breakpoints. I rarely need to know the value of the Program Counter and Registers when debugging and if I do I can turn to an STM32 product plus CubeIDE, the only true debugger I have found to be trouble-free. Great video and yes the presentation is very watchable. A bonus was that after actioning all the steps in the video, it actually worked! I have just subscribed - thank you J. PS Just upgraded to the latest version of Jan Dolinay's software i.e. v1.5 and when hitting a breakpoint I can see the values of all 32 registers and the Program Counter and Stack Pointer, I can also add variables to the Watch list and see them change as the code is stepped and finally view memory after setting a start point e.g. 0x8000 and the number of bytes to display e.g. 10.

No,no, nothing from Microsoft, thanks.

No, nothing from Microsoft, thanks.

Hi, great tutorial! Since several days I try to get working the esp-prog/esp32 wroom debug platform on a windows11 workstation. Mostly I got the error window from VScode: "Failed to lauch DGB: .pioinit 12: Error in sourced command file: Protocol error with T´Rcmd (from interpreter-exec console "source .pioinit"). May one hoiur ago I could start the first two debugging sessions. But afterwards every try to start a debug session failed again. Has someone an idea what is going wrong. Eventually the is some hardware issue but currently I only have this hardware and cannot try another.

Not being able to debug an Arduino is a good enough reason to choose a different chip. This is a game changer
