ESP32 Minimum Hardware
ESP32 Minimum Hardware
Hello to everyone!
I was starting to playing with the ESP32 and I have a hardware oriented question. The module I using is the ESP-WROOM-32.
What is the minimum hardware-peripheral components that I should use for this module?
For example with the ESP8266 the minimum hardware/peripheral components for best results looks like this:

Have we got anything similar for the ESP32? For example and pull-up/pull-down resistor from a specific pin to vcc/ground?

You can take a look at the devboard schematics viewtopic.php?t=344
olimex has public schematics https://github.com/OLIMEX/ESP32-EVB/blo ... _Rev_B.pdf

Thank you f.h-f.s. !

Minimal hardware you need to use ESP32 module is USB to ttl UART adapter like this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/6Pin-USB-2-0-to ... SwKIpWER5M
and two buttons to put the module into bootloader mode.
To avoid soldering the wires directly to the module, I would recomend minimal breakout board like this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ESP-32S-Support ... SwiDFYPVWe
And, of course, some 3.3V, min 500mA power supply.
Or, all on one board:

Re: ESP32 Minimum Hardware
Specifically, be sure to use a 3.3V PSU that can actually deliver 3.3V @ 500mA or so. If the ESP32 crashes somewhere around the time WiFi is initialized, most likely your power supply isn't beefy enough.
Re: ESP32 Minimum Hardware
Thanks alot to everyone of you!
Another simple question! I want to connect an SD card to the ESP. I am using the Arduino core.
It seems that they are using those connections to connect the sd card: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... braries/SD
But on the ESP Wroom 32 datasheet here: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default ... eet_en.pdf
they are specifying other pins for SD usage (shared with the local memory).
Which pins should I use for my project (using Arduino)?
Mainly I want to store and manipulate text files on the SD card, mp3 files and possible run ESP32 firmware code from there.
Any suggestions?

Re: ESP32 Minimum Hardware
If you want to use Arduino, follow the Arduino instructions.
It is not possible to run ESP32 firmware code from SD card.

Ok, I will! Thanks loboris!loboris wrote:If you want to use Arduino, follow the Arduino instructions
Can at least write a .hex file or .bin file or something to the SD card and flash the ESP32 from the SD card?loboris wrote:It is not possible to run ESP32 firmware code from SD card.
Re: ESP32 Minimum Hardware
It is possible, you could modify the OTA example to do that. But, I don't know if it is possible from Arduino...JohnKed wrote:...Can at least write a .hex file or .bin file or something to the SD card and flash the ESP32 from the SD card?

Re: ESP32 Minimum Hardware
Since the OTA is working in Arduino, it should be possible as @loboris said by modifying the OTA example and taking the bits from SD files.
