    The hardware overview says "3x UARTs (only two are configured by default in the Arduino IDE, one UART is used for bootloading/debug)" but the product feature page says "Up to two UARTs (only two are configured by default in the Arduino IDE, one UART is used for bootloading/debug)".

    How many UART are actually available?

      Good catch! That was a typo in the product description. There are 3 UARTs on the ESP32 module, but only 2 are configured (i.e. available for use) in the Arduino IDE.

    In the Arduino IDE 2.0 The ESP32 Thing Plus C is not showing up in the boards manager... What board are we supposed to select, and if its NOT the board called out in the tutorial, please fix the tutorial.

      Hello! We did some digging and weren't able to replicate the issue you're seeing. Looking at the arduino-esp32 repo on GitHub, the change was pulled in about 5 months ago. Would you please make sure you have the correct package.json file installed (per the note above the IDE 1.X image) on the new Arduino 2.0 IDE? I found when I originally installed the new IDE that none of my additional boards files carried over.

      We've also added a note in the software overview to hopefully help others steer clear of this issue in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

        Got it figured out. For some reason, The ESP32 boards were not showing up in the boards manager, even with the proper JSON links in place. Restarted the Arduino IDE a couple of times and it suddenly started processing a bunch of stuff, including showing the ESP32 boards. Either a bug with my environment or the Arduino 2.0 IDE. Thanks!

    Cool improvements! Especially the power-switch for Qwiik (before I had to use the SparkfunX switch) and the battery gauge come very handy!
