ESPertino: my new shield to program something about electronics

Today I received by courier a packet containing an electronic card whose name was ESPertino. It is a card for those who have subscribed to the EOS magazine (Elettronica Open Source). The price was good (20€ considerating the characteristic of the card: a WIFI shield. 6€ less than the price of the MKR1000 WIFI:

MKR1000 WIFI
Like a little Arduino but with WIFI chip.
In the same pack I found something else: the magazine (usually online) printed! (Wow! :D)

EOS #37
But after tried to create a full working circuit I have chose to search something more simple on the web. So on the same magazine's page there was the configuration page from scratch:


A page in italian where you can find antything about the first installation (follow every single!) and in the end also the code to try the card working.


void setup() { 
 //Initialize serial and wait for port to open: 
 pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200); 
 Serial.println("Hello ESP32 World!"); 
  
void loop() { 
 digitalWrite(13, HIGH); 
 delay(2000);
 digitalWrite(13, LOW);
 delay(500);

Everything was connected and I started to control and then to build the code...
In the following video and pictures you can see what I abotained: 
  • lightning of the output led;
  • writing something on the serial monitor.
