BPI:bit for Arduino

About BPI:bit

This product adopts esp-wroom-32 module as the core for design, and supports wi-fi, bluetooth, BLE and other wireless communication modes.

The BPI bit (also referred to as BPI-bit, stylised as bpi:bit) is an ESP32 with 32-bit Xtensa LX6 dual-core processor based embedded system. It supports Webduino, Arduino, MicroPython as well as Scratch X programming environments.

BPI:bit for Arduino-IDE

Wired connection board

Connect the boards to your computer via the MicroUSB wire, it is same as BPI:bit with microPython.

please see this documents:2 Wired connection board

Development extension package

Arduino-esp32 developer kit, click the previous link to get the developer kit

From arduino-esp32, an open source project of github (espressif), it is recommended to use github DeskTop tool to update the suite at any time.

Windows installation instructions

• Download and install the latest version of the Arduino IDE, Windows Installer from arduino.cc

• Download the arduino development extension package from the espressif/arduino-esp32 open source project

• Unzip the Arduino expansion package: [ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR]/hardware/espressif/esp32

ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR:generally is C:/Users/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino listed below the "Sketchbook location" in the Arduino preference

• In turn open directory [ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR]/hardware/espressif/esp32 /tools, and double-click the get operation. Exe

• When get.exe runs out, you should see the following files in the directory

• Insert the BPI:bit board and wait for the driver to install (or manually install) Serial CH341

• Run the Arduino IDE

• Select your version (bpi-bit) Tools>Board menu

• Select the COM port to which the BIT board is connected, such as COMx

• Compile and upload your engineering code (BIT board design has automatic recording circuit, just click to upload)
