ESP32 • BEGINNER TO PROJECT BUILDER
YKR038 ESP32 Starter Kit Course
Learn ESP32 programming through 36 practical, step-by-step tutorials using the components in your Zepkvor YKR038 Starter Kit.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Start with the basics. Finish with connected projects.
This learning path moves from safe wiring and first code to sensors, OLED graphics, motion control, Wi-Fi, and a complete smart-room project. Each lesson focuses on one clear outcome before combining skills in larger builds.
USE YOUR OWN KIT
One kit, a complete learning path
The curriculum is designed around the YKR038 board, sensors, display, output modules, breadboard, and connecting parts. Component callouts on every lesson help you prepare before you start.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you begin
Is this course suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. The first module covers the software, board connection, breadboard, wiring, basic code, and debugging before any larger project.
Do I need the YKR038 kit?
The lessons are written and tested for the Zepkvor YKR038 ESP32 Starter Kit. Similar parts may work, but pin labels, wiring, and results can differ.
Will every tutorial include code and video?
Each finished lesson is planned to include English written instructions, circuit or project images, explained code, and a supporting video.
Why are lesson cards not clickable yet?
We avoid sending learners to incomplete or missing pages. A lesson will become clickable when its complete tutorial is published.
