Étape 9 - Programming on arduino IDE

To upload the code on Arduino IDE, click on the “copy arduino code into clipboard” button.

Then paste the code onto Arduino IDE, and upload it to the ESP32.

if you click on Serial Monitor (top right of the Arduino IDE screen), you should see the value recorded by the touch sensor (see image below).

It means that your ESP32 is connected to the internet, and that it’s sending the value recorded by the internal touch sensor on-line, on adafruit.io
