Recently, I have seen an increasing amount of technical content about the ESP32. I have also written many articles about the ESP32. Compared to domestic developers, “of course, many domestic developers spend their time working overtime and do not have much time to deal with these“, many tech enthusiasts abroad love to use the ESP32 to create their favorite products.
I previously made a video compiling the ESP32 using VSCODE.
VSCODE is one of my favorite IDE editing software.
The ESP32 is a domestic chip that I really like, of course, I usually use its modules.
I even saw a 10-year-old child on YouTube who can skillfully use the ESP32 for development, which really amazed me.
There are also many professional videos about the ESP32, and much of the content in these videos is directly accompanied by diagrams, making it very convenient for everyone to understand. The ESP32 is slowly encroaching on the Arduino market. Today, while watching a movie “The Great Heist“, I saw criminals using Arduino to make bombs. I immediately thought that using the 51 microcontroller for development would also be possible, which only indicates that this criminal’s skills are quite mainstream.
I also saw such news on Zhihu
Compared to Linux, the ESP32 is more suitable for beginners “If you start learning Linux without any microcontroller foundation, I think it would be quite difficult”, if you find the 51 too simple and its performance too weak, the ESP32 is indeed a very good choice. You can use it to communicate with your phone and also do things related to internet control.
For example, some job requirements will mention having experience in ESP32 development.
If you had to choose between “GD32”, “STM32”, and “ESP32”, how would you choose?
Simply put, if you learn any one of them, learning the other two won’t be too difficult, especially “GD32” and “STM32”, which in my opinion are quite similar.
However, if you want to work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and want to touch on wireless knowledge, I recommend learning “ESP32”.
Because it is simple enough, you don’t need a J-Link; just one board and a USB cable will suffice.
One important thing that Baidu did right was investing in the semiconductor company Lexin, hoping that domestic semiconductors will develop better and more people will use domestic new products to develop their products.
