<br>[[Image:Ks0354 driver 5.png|600px|frameless]]<br>


<br>
===Step3| Building ESP32 Environment ===

At first, open the Arduino-1.8.7 folder, you will see the hardware folder; 
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

Then open the hardware folder and add a new folder, remember to name it '''espressif''' shown below.
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

After that, unzip the esp32 compression package we provided, and copy to the '''espressif''' folder.
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

So inside the '''espressif''' folder should see the esp32 folder as below. <span style=color:red>Note that the folder should not name a type.<br>
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

Now, click to enter the esp32 folder and you can see the '''tools''' folder below. 
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

Enter the '''tools''' folder and click to run the '''get.exe''' application as an administrator. <br>
<span style=color:red>(But the precondition is that you have already installed the Python)<br>
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

When run the '''get.exe''' application, ensure that your network is unblocked and wait for the program download. Done downloading, the following window will automatically close.
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

 *  the most obvious difference being the different file you need to include:
 */
#include "WiFi.h"

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(115200);

    // Set WiFi to station mode and disconnect from an AP if it was previously connected
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
    WiFi.disconnect();
    delay(100);

    Serial.println("Setup done");
}

void loop()
{
    Serial.println("scan start");

    // WiFi.scanNetworks will return the number of networks found
    int n = WiFi.scanNetworks();
    Serial.println("scan done");
    if (n == 0) {
        Serial.println("no networks found");
    } else {
        Serial.print(n);
        Serial.println(" networks found");
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
            // Print SSID and RSSI for each network found
            Serial.print(i + 1);
            Serial.print(": ");
            Serial.print(WiFi.SSID(i));
            Serial.print(" (");
            Serial.print(WiFi.RSSI(i));
            Serial.print(")");
            Serial.println((WiFi.encryptionType(i) == WIFI_AUTH_OPEN)?" ":"*");
            delay(10);
        }
    }
    Serial.println("");

    // Wait a bit before scanning again
    delay(5000);
}
</pre>

<br>
Click verify button to check the errors. If compiling successfully, the message "Done compiling." will appear in the status bar.
