ESP32 integrates Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz band) and Bluetooth 4.2 solutions on a single chip, along with dual high-performance cores and many other versatile peripherals. Powered by 40 nm technology, ESP32 provides a robust, highly integrated platform to meet the continuous demands for efficient power usage, compact design, and security. - We provides the basic hardware and software resources that empowers application developers to build their ideas around the ESP32 series hardware. The software development framework provided is intended for rapidly developing Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flexible power management and other advanced system features.
Arduin
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, you need:
- PC loaded with either Windows, Linux,x or Mac operating system
- Toolchain to build the Application for ESP32
- Arduino that essentially contains API for ESP32 and scripts to operate the Toolchain
- The ESP32 board itself and a USB cable to connect it to the PC

SSC Command Reference
op
Here are some common Wi-Fi commands for you to test the module.
Description
op commands are used to set and query the Wi-Fi mode of the system.
Example
op -Q
op: S -o wmode
Parameter
| -Q | Query Wi-Fi mode. |
| -S | Set the Wi-Fi mode. |
|
wmode |
There are 3 Wi-Fi modes:
• mode = 1: STA mode • mode = 2: AP mode • mode = 3: STA+AP mode |
sta
Description
sta commands are used to scan the STA network interface, connect or disconnect AP, and query the connecting status of the STA network interface.
Example
sta -S [-s ssid] [-b bssid] [-n channel] [-h] sta -Q
sta -C [-s ssid] [-p password]
sta -D
Parameter
| -s ssid | Scan or connect Access Points with the ssid. |
| -b bssid | Scan the Access Points with the bssid. |
| -n channel | Scan the channel. |
| -h | Show scan results with hidden ssid Access Points. |
| -Q | Show STA connect stutus. |
| -D | Disconnected with current Access Points. |
ap
Description
ap commands are used to set the parameter of AP network interface.
Example
ap -S [-s ssid] [-p password] [-t encrypt] [-n channel] [-h] [-m max_sta] ap –Q
ap –L
Parameter
| -S | Set AP mode. |
| -s ssid | Set AP ssid. |
| -p password | Set AP password. |
| -t encrypt | Set AP encrypt mode. |
| -h | Hide ssid. |
| -m max_sta | Set AP max connections. |
| -Q | Show AP parameters. |
