Via CNX Software blog comes news of KB IDE, a development environment for ESP32 boards. You can code in block or text programming with a colorful, intuitive IDE. The code in either mode is C/C++ so programs should be very speedy.

Block programming

Easy coding for beginners.
  • 100% no hardcoding, just drag & drop with block connection.
  • Easy and Intuitive.
