ESP HTTP Request example

This project demonstrates how to use a GET request with the esp32 Wifi driver and can be further used for all other types of REST API.

Running the Project:

Before building the project, be sure to follow the ESP-IDF Getting Started Guide to ensure you have the required development environment.

To build the project project:

Change into the directory of project file you'd like to build.
Run idf.py set-target TARGET to select the correct chip target to build before opening the project configuration menu. By default the target is esp32. For all options see idf.py set-target --help
Run idf.py menuconfig to open the project configuration menu. Most examples have a project-specific "Example Configuration" section here (for example, to set the WiFi SSID & password to use).
idf.py build to build the project.
Run ls /dev/tty* to view the PORT the microcontroller is connected to.
Run idf.py -p PORT flashto flash the code into the microcontroller.
Run idf.py monitor to run ESP-IDF monitor to view logs and print statements.
