Cannot find bluepad board manager for esp32

Hello, I am new to using the arduino IDE for esp32 projects, I have installed the esp32 board but cant find bluepad on my boards manager. I am trying to install an old arduino ide to see if it is on there. Why is this and what can I do?

Thanks

I moved your topic to a more appropriate forum category @chibundu.

The Nano Family > Nano ESP32 category you chose is only used for discussions directly related to the Arduino Nano ESP32 board.

In the future, when creating a topic please take the time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your question. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi @chibundu. Did you perform step 1 of the installation instructions?:

https://bluepad32.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plat_arduino/#1-add-esp32-and-bluepad32-board-packages-to-board-manager

  1. Add ESP32 and Bluepad32 board packages to Board Manager

These two boards must be added to Arduino IDE.

  • Official ESP32 package: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
  • "Bluepad32 + ESP32" package: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ricardoquesada/esp32-arduino-lib-builder/master/bluepad32_files/package_esp32_bluepad32_index.json

If you don't know how to add a board, then read Add or Remove 3rd party boards in Board Manager

This worked, Thank you!

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
