In this video, we explore how to setup the Espressif IOT Development Framework, or IDF, and use it to write C code to blink an LED on the board. We discuss FreeRTOS, the operating system being ran on the ESP32, and how to write code that uses the RTOS and ESP32 API's to get GPIO working. We also discuss logging data to the serial bus, and using the monitor to view the serial output.

The ESP32 IDF uses FreeRTOS, an open source real time operating system that is used on smaller embedded boards. FreeRTOS allows you to make tasks for different features on your board. Pairing this with the IDF allows you to write powerful Wifi programs to the ESP32.
