1.2. Arduino

1.3.

A set of cross-platform applications written in Java. The Arduino Software IDE is derived from the Processing programming language and the integrated development environment of the Wiring program. Users can develop applications in Windows/Linux/ MacOS based on Arduino. It is recommended to use Windows 10. Windows OS has been used as an example in this document for illustration purposes.
Preparation

To develop applications for ESP32-S3 you need:

· PC loaded with either Windows, Linux or Mac operating system · Toolchain to build the Application for ESP32-S3 · Arduino that essentially contains API for ESP32-S3 and scripts to operate the
Toolchain
· CH9102 serial port driver · The ESP32-S3 board itself and a USB cable to connect it to the PC
