Arduino IDE: ESP32/ESP8266 Basics for Non-Coders

Even if you've never written a line of code, this beginner-friendly video will show you how to take an Arduino application from Github or elsewhere and use the IDE to make minor changes, like WiFi credentials, and then compile and install it on your ESP32 or ESP8266. I'll cover: • Downloading and installing the latest Arduino IDE • Installing the ESP32/ESP8266 board packages • Setting up your development environment • Getting source code files from Github (or elsewhere) • Tweaking the code for your project • Compiling and uploading the code to your board By the end of the video, you'll have the knowledge to clone or copy applications to your own environment, make minor changes and flash the modified version to your own ESP board.
