There are a lot of ESP32 development boards. I encourage you to visit the ESP32.net website where each ESP32 chip and development board are listed. You can compare their differences and features.

In this ebook, we’ll be using the ESP32 DEVKIT V1 DOIT board, but any other ESP32 with the ESP-WROOM-32 chip will work just fine.

Here’s just a few examples of boards that are very similar and compatible with the project in this ebook.

The board has two on-board buttons: the ENABLE and the BOOT button.

If you press the ENABLE button, it reboots the ESP32. If you hold down the BOOT button and then press the enable, the ESP32 reboots in programming mode.
