Got some ESP32s for cyber Monday.

 Purchased a 3 pack of "EC Buying ESP32 WROOM Development Board, ESP32S Development Board Integrated WiFi+ Bluetooth Dual Core Microcontroller Processor Ethernet Interface I2S I2C Suitable for Arduino/ IoT/Smart Home（3PCS）"

Installed Arduino "arduino-ide_2.0.3_Windows_64bit". Followed these instructions, except I chose the NodeMCU-32s. Unknown device in win10 device manager. CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver downloaded and installed. Silicon Labs, from the Windows update optional drivers.

More help here.

Still Upload fails.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

 I had two com3 devices, so I disabled the non usb-uart one. The upload completes. But the output is gibberish. P ���-t��Yt�(�l��. The baud rate of the serial monitor did not match the baud rate specified in the code.

Testing out Bluetooth

There is a library conflict if you have the arduinoBLE library installed. 

Multiple libraries were found for "BLEDevice.h"

  Used: C:\Users\Jash\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoBLE

  Not used: C:\Users\Jash\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.5\libraries\BLE

exit status 1

They both have BLEDevice.h. I had to change:

#include <BLEDevice.h> to #include "BLEDevice.h"

This project will be a client so that it can accept multiple connections. The goal is a multiplayer game.

The ESP32 BLE_client example throws many errors! Lots of undefined references.
