<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n2) Arduino IDE and ESP32 Boards Add-on<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll program the ESP32 using Arduino IDE. So, you must have the ESP32 add-on installed. Follow the next tutorial if you haven\u2019t already:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Installing ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE 2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you want to use VS Code with the PlatformIO extension, follow the next tutorial instead to learn how to program the ESP32:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Getting Started with VS Code and PlatformIO IDE for ESP32 and ESP8266 (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux Ubuntu)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
3) Install Libraries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We’ll build the web server using the following libraries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- ESPAsyncWebServer <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- AsyncTCP<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You can install these libraries in the Arduino Library Manager. Open the Library Manager by clicking the Library icon at the left sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Search for ESPAsyncWebServer<\/span> and install the ESPAsyncWebServer by ESP32Async<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThen, install the AsyncTCP library. Search for AsyncTCP<\/span> and install the AsyncTCP by ESP32Async<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n4) Schematic Diagram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The following schematic diagram shows how to connect a DC motor to the ESP32 using a L298N motor driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not familiar with the L298N motor driver? Follow this tutorial first: ESP32 Servo Motor Web Server with Arduino IDE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The motor we’ll control is connected to the motor A output pins, so we need to wire the ENABLEA, INPUT1, and INPUT2 pins of the motor driver to the ESP32. Follow the next schematic diagram to wire the DC motor and the L298N motor driver to the ESP32.<\/p>\n\n\n
