You have never asked a question on the forum. There might be people (not me) who can help.

You might try to find "nerds" in your local community that you could work together with.
Start a local "Arduino club" ?

It looks like you gave up with punctuations too. Is it a question or what?
I'm sorry but please make shorter sentences using punctuations, so we can better understand what you're talking/asking about, instead of that bunch of meshed words...

6

did you try any of the numerous sample programs under File>Examples
e.g. set Tools>Board to "ESP32 DEV module" and under File>Examples you will see

Hobbies are supposed to be FUN.
If you find that playing with Arduinos is hard work then maybe it's not a hobby for you.

Do not feed the troll :slight_smile:

You bought a bunch of products before trying any of it?

I have seen people do this before. Often they think they should pay someone as little as possible to do the work part while excusing themselves and expecting to get rich.

Let this serve new members as a caution to take small steps in buying and learning. There are no shortcuts to becoming experienced. Start SIMPLE so you don't choke!

Can I have your stuff?

No, no, I'm sure he tried all the stuff he has bought. And it was very, very gooooood!

It's that good then.

I've witnessed this so often, everything is easy till it's tried and then what turns out to be easy is what we know or close to that. Perhaps the key is not fixating on distant goals and judging ourselves on meeting those quickly.

When I started computing, it was enough to do anything. But then back then, Pong was new.

@johnnyriffs -

Attend these three classes, in which you participate (make stuff):

  1. Basic DC electricity
  2. Basic electronics
  3. Introduction to programming

If you are new to the hobby I would put the esp32 aside and get an Arduino
R4 with wifi .

Then go to Paul McWorters youtube channel and take his class which is about 68 lessons and currently adding more lessons.

Here is the link:
Arduino R4 YouTube lessons

The esp32 is not for beginners.
