XIAO ESP32S3 is a tiny module with black printed circuit board, the ESP32S3 32-bit microcontroller, 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth BLE 5.0. This video briefly explores the technical specifications and shows an example how to create a basic very simple Arduino sketch for a blinking LED. To get started with it and write your first Arduino sketch in Arduino IDE follow these steps:
1. Download and Install Arduino IDE: Install the stable version of Arduino IDE suitable for your operating system.
2. Launch Arduino IDE.
3. Add ESP32 Board Package: Go to File. Select Preferences and input the following URL in "Additional Boards Manager URLs": raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json.
4. Then, navigate to Tools, Board, Boards Manager, search for "esp32", and install the latest version.
5. Upload the Blink Example: Open Arduino, go to File, Examples, 01.Basics, Blink, and open the program.
6. Set the board model to XIAO ESP32S3 and select the correct port (usually COM3 or higher). Upload the program.
7. Once uploaded, the orange LED on the right of the XIAO ESP32S3 will blink. Congratulations! You’ve successfully programmed the XIAO ESP32S3.
