Using Sublime Text for ESP32 / IoT Project Development

#1

Hi everyone, I’m starting an IoT project using ESP32, and I’m wondering: has anyone here used Sublime Text for embedded-software development (for example, ESP32 + Arduino or Micropython)? I recently read a guide about using ESP32 for IoT applications [(https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/blog/tutorial/esp32]((https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/blog/tutorial/esp32) and thought it might be a good lightweight editor option before committing to a full IDE. I’ve also seen Arduino-forum posts and some Raspberry Pi community threads where people use simple editors + CLI toolchains rather than heavy IDEs. For those of you who tried Sublime: how was the workflow (syntax highlighting, build/upload integration, debugging support)? Would you recommend it over something like VS Code or PlatformIO for ESP32/embedded work?

I’ve only used Arduino or specific IDE’s with bundled toolchains for more niche chips, but this would be so cool to have working in an easy and clean workflow. Especially as projects grow in size and complexity.


This looks like a decent start, but I’ve found a few packages mentioned.

Again, I’ve never tried it myself, but please update with your findings!
