2. Connecteu l'altre extrem del cable USB-C a un port USB disponible de l'ordinador.
3. The power LED on the board should illuminate, indicating it is receiving power.

3.3 Configuració de l'entorn de desenvolupament

To program the ESP32 board, you will need a suitable Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Popular choices include:

• IDE d'Arduino: Install the ESP32 board package through the Boards Manager.
• PlatformIO: A powerful ecosystem for IoT development, compatible with various IDEs like VS Code.
• ESP-IDF: Espressif's official IoT Development Framework for more advanced applications.

Refer to the documentation for your chosen IDE for detailed installation and configuration instructions for ESP32 boards.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Uploading Code

1. Open your chosen IDE (e.g., Arduino IDE).
2. Select the correct board model (e.g., "ESP32 Dev Module" or similar) and the COM port assigned to your ESP32 board.
3. Write or load your program (sketch).
4. Click the "Upload" button. The IDE will compile the code and attempt to upload it to the board.
5. During upload, you may need to press and hold the BARRETA button on the ESP32 board, then press the EN (reset) button, and release EN, després deixeu anar BARRETA once the upload process begins. Some boards may enter programming mode automatically.

4.2 Ús bàsic

The ESP32 board can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

• Connectivitat Wi-Fi: Connect to local networks, host web servers, or send data to cloud platforms.
• Comunicació Bluetooth: Interact with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices or classic Bluetooth peripherals.
• Sensor Interfacing: Read data from various sensors using GPIOs, I2C, SPI, or UART.
• Control de l'actuador: Control motors, LEDs, relays, and other actuators.

5. Manteniment

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your ESP32 development board, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Manejar amb cura: Avoid dropping the board or subjecting it to physical shock.
• Descàrrega estàtica: Always handle the board in a static-safe environment to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Mantenir sec: Protect the board from moisture and liquids.
• Neteja: Keep the board free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air for cleaning.
• Font d'alimentació: Use a stable 5V DC power supply via the USB-C port. Avoid over-voltage or reverse polarity.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the board in an anti-static bag when not in use.

6. Solució De Problemes

6.1 Board Not Detected by Computer

• Comproveu el cable USB: Ensure the USB-C cable is functional and properly connected. Try a different cable.
• Instal·leu el controlador CH340: Verify that the CH340 USB-to-serial driver is correctly installed on your operating system.
• Prova un port USB diferent: Connect the board to another USB port on your computer.

6.2 Code Upload Fails

• Correct Board and Port: Ensure the correct ESP32 board type and COM port are selected in your IDE.
• Mode d'arrencada: Manually put the board into bootloader mode by holding the BARRETA button, pressing and releasing EN, then releasing BARRETA when the upload starts.
• Font d'alimentació: Ensure the board is receiving sufficient power. Some complex sketches might require more power than a standard USB port can provide.
• Serial Monitor: Close any open serial monitors in your IDE before attempting to upload code.
