Arduino for Espressif

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that combines easy-to-use hardware and software, enabling users to create interactive projects with sensors, actuators, and more. It is widely used for prototyping, education, and embedded system development due to its simplicity and flexibility.

Open Source

Arduino's software, including its core libraries and IDE, is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1, allowing all users to modify and distribute the software.

An Arduino Core for Espressif Devices

An Arduino core is a collection of software components that allows the Arduino development environment to interface with and program hardware. Espressif has been developing its own Arduino Core since 2016.

Prototyping

Arduino offers a user-friendly platform that simplifies the development process. Its open-source nature, wide range of libraries and community support allow rapid iteration and customization of products, services, and business.

Ecosystem

The Arduino ecosystem comprises a large community of content creator, professionals, and developers from beginners to experts. The variety resources, including documentation, forums, videos, projects, tutorials, and media, is available to support all participants.

From Prototype to Production

Espressif's Arduino Core integrates seamlessly into ESP-IDF projects, allowing the use of Arduino ecosystem libraries alongside ESP-IDF. This enables a smooth transition from prototype to production by gradually migrating parts of your project while continuing to leverage Arduino libraries where needed.
