LIST OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
ESP32 for Busy People
ESP32 for Arduino Makers
This page contains lists of parts and tools necessary to complete the ESP32 For Busy People and ESP32 for Arduino Makers courses.
The following lists contain the parts and tools necessary to complete the ESP32 For Busy People (on TechExplorations.com) and ESP32 for Arduino Makers (on Udemy.com) courses.
Many of the items below are reusable between projects. Sensors, breadboards, LED etc. will last for many years if you look after them. Other items like resistors, and potentiometers come in packs that contain sufficient numbers to last for many projects.
The items in these lists are provided in an effort to make it easier for our students to find the parts and tools they need. While we take care to find reliable Amazon sellers, we cannot be responsible for problems in their supply chain or fulfilment. Sellers may run out of stock at any time, or shipments may be lost in transit. For issues like these, or for warranty claims, please contact the seller or Amazon directly.
If you do not live in the US, UK or Germany, or the Amazon stores that we provide links to below do not deliver to your location, consider using a freight forwarding service like Shipito. You can ship your shopping to them, and they will forward to you, anywhere in the world. This is useful in case, for at least some of the items in your shopping list, Amazon will not ship to addresses outside the US.

Please be careful to order the clock module with the DS3231S chip (not the DS3231M)and the SQW pin so that you can get a square wave from it. This is required for one of the mini-projects in the course. Please read this article for more information. You may want to contact your seller before ordering this part to ensure that you are getting the DS3231S variant.
