Installation

Capyboard is completely agnostic in terms of operating systems, as long as your system supports building firmware for ESP32, which covers most widely-used operating systems.

It can be used in many ways, just like any other development kit, for example with Arduino IDE. This documentation assumes using PlatformIO. If you wish to follow this documentation and examples, you have to have a working instance of PlatformIO installed. Please follow the official PlatformIO installation guide. You can either choose to use the simple Platformio Core (CLI) or the fully featured PlatformIO IDE based on Visual Studio Code.

Again, this guide and examples is written around using PlatformIO Core, which allows you to use your favorite editor.

You can continue by preparing a basic project template.

  • PlatformIO
  • Git
  • GNU Make
