Arduino + ESP32 Compatibility
ESP32 boards can be programmed from the Arduino IDE through Espressif's Arduino-ESP32 core. That gives you familiar sketches and libraries on ESP32 hardware, but the exact board selection, USB behavior, pin names, and supported library features still matter.

RESEARCH SIGNAL FLOW
Arduino IDE → ESP32 board core → exact Feather target → compile → uploadMYCOTUNE USE CASES
◌ Prototype MycoTune firmware with familiar setup() and loop() functions
◌ Use I²C libraries for the ADS1115 and STEMMA QT bus
◌ Test Wi-Fi, display, storage, and controls one subsystem at a time
◌ Keep board and core versions in every research log
NEXT BENCH STEPS
→ Install or update Arduino IDE
→ Add the Espressif boards package
→ Choose Adafruit ESP32-S2 Feather under Tools → Board
→ Compile Blink before connecting any sensors
