To check if your ESP32 is functioning, ensure it is properly connected and the power LED is ON, then install the necessary Arduino IDE packages and drivers. After setting up the IDE, select the ESP32 board and COM port, and use the Serial Monitor to verify functionality. Finally, upload a simple Blink LED program to confirm the board is operational.

To check if your ESP32 is working or not, follow these steps:


1 Basic Hardware Check
1️⃣

Ensure your ESP32 board is properly connected to your PC via a USB cable (use a
data cable, not just a charging one).

Check if the power LED on the ESP32 board is ON when connected.

Try pressing the "EN" (Reset) button to see if the board responds.

2️⃣ Install Required Packages

Before testing your ESP32, you need to install the necessary Arduino IDE packages:
🔹 Install ESP32 Board Package in Arduino IDE

Open Arduino IDE.

Go to File → Preferences.

In the "Additional Board Manager URLs" field, paste:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/
package_esp32_index.json

Click OK.

Go to Tools → Board → Boards Manager.

Search for ESP32 and install the package by Espressif Systems.

Restart the Arduino IDE.

🔹 Install USB-to-Serial Driver (If Needed)

If your ESP32 is not detected, install the CP210x or CH340 driver:

CP210x Driver (for most ESP32 boards):

Download from Silicon Labs

CH340 Driver (for some ESP32 clones):

Download from WCH website

3️⃣ Check ESP32 in Arduino IDE

Open Arduino IDE.

Go to Tools → Board and select ESP32 Dev Module.

Go to Tools → Port, select the COM port (it should say ESP32).

Open the Serial Monitor (Tools → Serial Monitor) and set baud rate to 115200.

If you see logs or random messages, your ESP32 is alive! 🎉


4️⃣ Upload a Test Sketch

Try uploading a simple Blink LED program to confirm the board is working:

void setup() {
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(2, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

Click Upload and check if the LED blinks.

💡 If you face issues:

Hold the BOOT button while uploading the code.

Check the USB cable or try a different COM port.

Let me know if you get stuck! 😊⚡
