Hello
If i buy a new module, is it ready to use with arduino ide? Should it be flashed?
Cause i wanna switch from ESP32 Dev kit to the module with external USB-UART.


thank you

Yes I think any ESP32 board will work with Arduino-framework
I highly recommend to use Platformio IDE instead of Arduino itself, since unlike Arduino it keeps the libraries for every project in their own folder and has dependency management using a config file called platformio.ini

The only one that still does not work using Arduino-framework is the new model ESP32S2. For that one I could only use ESP-IDF

And one more question about this.
Which board should i choose from Arduino IDE (i haven't downloaded other yet)?
Actually i'm using the ESP32 Dev Module. But i'm still woring with the dev board. I think it is the same, but not sure.
