Installing Python on Mac OS X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To program the ESP32 and ESP8266 boards with PlatformIO IDE you need Python 3.5 or higher installed in your computer. We\u2019re using Python 3.8.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install Python I’ll be using Homebrew. If you don’t have the brew command available, type the next command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nInstalling PlatformIO IDE Extension on VS Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is possible to program the ESP32<\/a> and ESP8266<\/a> boards using VS Code with the PlatformIO IDE extension. Follow the next steps to install the PlatformIO IDE extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open VS Code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you to get an overview on how PlatformIO works on VS code, we\u2019ll show you how to create, save and upload a \u201cBlinking LED\u201d sketch to your ESP32 or ESP8266 board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a New Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
On VS Code, click on the PlartfomIO Home <\/strong>icon. Click on + New Project<\/strong> to start a new project.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can choose the default location to save your project or a custom location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The default location is in this path Documents <\/em>>PlatformIO<\/em> >Projects<\/em>. For this test, you can use the default location. Finally, click \u201cFinish\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nVS Code and PlatformIO have a folder structure that is different from the standard .ino<\/em> project. If you click on the Explorer tab, you\u2019ll see all the files it created under your project folder. It may seem a lot of files to work with. But, don\u2019t worry, usually you\u2019ll just need to deal with one or two of those files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warning: <\/strong> you shouldn\u2019t delete, modify or move the folders and the platformio.ini<\/em> file. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to compile your project using PlatformIO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platformio.ini<\/em> file is the PlatformIO Configuration File for your project. It shows the platform, board, and framework for your project. You can also add other configurations like libraries to be included, upload options, changing the Serial Monitor baud rate and other configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n

The src <\/em>folder is your working folder. Under the src <\/em>folder, there\u2019s a main.cpp<\/em> file. That\u2019s where you write your code. Click on that file. The structure of an Arduino program should open with the setup()<\/span> and loop()<\/span> functions.<\/p>\n\n\n
