⬇ Downloads
Download everything required before starting.
📥 Download Arduino IDE 💻 Download CP2102 USB Driver (Windows)If your board is not detected or no COM Port appears, install the CP2102 USB Driver and reconnect the board.
Step 1 – Install Arduino IDE
- Download and install the latest Arduino IDE.
- Open Arduino IDE.
- Go to File → Preferences.
- Paste the following URL inside Additional Boards Manager URLs.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.jsonStep 2 – Install ESP32 Board Package
- Open Tools → Board → Boards Manager
- Search for ESP32
- Install ESP32 by Espressif Systems
Step 3 – Select Your Board
Board:
ESP32C3 Dev Module- Flash Frequency → 80 MHz
- Upload Speed → 115200 or 921600
- Partition Scheme → Default
- Select Correct COM Port
Step 4 – Upload Blink Program
void setup() {
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(8, LOW);
delay(500);
}
Note: If the LED doesn't blink, try GPIO 9 or refer to your board documentation.
Step 5 – Serial Monitor
Open Tools → Serial Monitor and select 115200 Baud.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
Serial.println("LED ON");
delay(500);
digitalWrite(8, LOW);
Serial.println("LED OFF");
delay(500);
