Frequently Asked Questions
Should I learn ESP8266 first?
No need! While ESP8266 knowledge helps, this course teaches ESP32 from the ground up. ESP32 is more powerful and is the recommended choice for new projects.
Which ESP32 board should I get?
We recommend starting with an ESP32 DevKit v1. It's affordable, widely available, and has all the features you need. Specific recommendations are in the first lesson.
Can I use MicroPython instead of C++?
This course focuses on Arduino/C++ programming for maximum performance. However, the concepts apply to MicroPython, and we briefly cover MicroPython options.
