Arduino has certainly been busy lately. After releasing the Arduino Giga at the beginning of the year, they followed up by releasing two new Arduino Uno boards. And, as if that wasn’t enough, they have just added another member to the growing Arduino Nano family - the Arduino Nano ESP32.
Although a few of the Nano boards already have ESP32 chips, those boards use the ESP32 as a communications coprocessor. This new Nano is the first Arduino board to use the ESP32 as its main processor.
We will begin by looking at the board features and pinouts. Of course, all Nano boards use the same pinout, allowing you to repurpose any prototyping tools you have gathered for the other family members.
At the heart of the board is an ESP32-S3 module, so the new Nano board has essentially the same specifications as other boards built around that chip.
We’ll also use the board with MicroPython, and I’ll show you how to install the MicroPython bootloader. Don’t worry; you can revert to C++ by reinstalling the Arduino Bootloader. I’ll show you how to do that as well.
And we will build a project for the Arduino IoT Cloud. The Arduino Nano ESP32 is an inexpensive way of creating IoT applications.
Here is the Table of Contents for today's video:
00:00 - Introduction
01:56 - Arduino Nano ESP32
09:32 - Arduino IDE Setup & WiFi Scan Test
12:13 - Nano ESP32 as a Human Interface Device
19:07 - Using MicroPython
23:30 - Installing MicroPython
27:40 - Using the Arduino Labs Python Editor
32:28 - Reloading the C++ Bootloader
34:28 - Arduino IoT Cloud
37:09 - IoT Cloud Project Hookup
38:05 - Connect Nano ESP32 to IoT Cloud
41:06 - Build a Thing
44:29 - IoT Cloud Project Code
49:01 - Build a Dashboard
53:49 - Running Remote & OTA Updates
54:52 - Conclusion
If Arduino releases any more new boards this year, I’ll need a new Arduino shirt! Hope you enjoy the video.
