Is it the right community to newbie like me to learn esp8266 and iot stuff?

Hi everyone, πŸ‘‹ im new here… Is it the right community to newbie like me to learn esp8266 and iot stuff?

  1. melta101#0000

    Yes!

  2. JekV#0000

    Alright thx πŸ”₯

  3. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    let us know when you are stuck and how

  4. JekV#0000

    Which one you guys use, Arduino ide or Arduino cli ? I want to hear your opinion

  5. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    I dont even use Arduino, everything I have tried anything on that platform it didnt work and I cried

  6. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    But we have some very good people at arduino you would be amazed at what @jeremycook does!

  7. JeremyCook#0000

    Well that is nice of you to say @superbike_z πŸ˜ƒ

    As for me, I use the Arduino IDE and rarely use the CLI. Seems like you have to use the CLI sometimes for various tasks, and I THINK if you’re rather advanced in certain programming/command line procedures it can work out well, but that’s not really me.

    Getting started I would install the Arduino IDE, then there will likely be requirements for installing an ESP8266 board package. There should (hopefully) be some documentation associated with the board that you have that walks you through this procedure. Good chance you’ll have to go into settings and input an additional board manager URL as seen at the bottom of this screencap (example URL, may be different for you).

  8. undefined.elf#0000

    Better to start with arduino

  9. undefined.elf#0000

    and After that if it is only esp mcu then you can try esp-idf

  10. JekV#0000

    Alright, but isn’t esp just the same but have a wifi?

  11. undefined.elf#0000

    same in which perspective?

  12. JekV#0000

    Ok thanks for the input, I should go back to arduino ide because I’m having a lot of problems in cli. I watched youtube and many youtubers said to use cli

  13. JekV#0000

    Both function as microcontrollers. I just learned to control led

  14. undefined.elf#0000

    I would arduino ide and if you want something else other than Arduino IDE you can look into PlatrformIO ide

  15. undefined.elf#0000

    You can say that

  16. undefined.elf#0000

    for now yes they are same

  17. undefined.elf#0000

    start with arduino IDE

  18. JekV#0000

    What are the cool things that only arduino can do and esp8266 can’t?

  19. JekV#0000

    Oh sorry I thought you meant Arduino Uno

  20. undefined.elf#0000

    Esp can do more thing than arduino

  21. undefined.elf#0000

    but esp8266 lacks some analog pin as compare to arduino

  22. JekV#0000

    Im sorry, but what is analog pin?, for what

  23. undefined.elf#0000

    Don’t worry about that now brother

  24. undefined.elf#0000

    you will be get into that soon

  25. undefined.elf#0000

    just start working

  26. undefined.elf#0000

    everything will come one after another

  27. Umesh Lokhande#0000

    To interface any analog sensor to mcu we use analog pins.

  28. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    one that produces a continuous(Analog) signal as opposed to a discrete (digital) signal.

  29. JekV#0000

    Alright
