#69470 You did not specify what language you want to use. There are many options such as basic, micropython, and even javascript.

I would avoid the ESP-01. If you want to use an ESP8266, buy a board based on the ESP-12 module such as a NodeMCU devkit 1.0 or a WeMos D1 mini. They are much easier to use and have more pins than an ESP-01.

If you want to use the Arduino IDE, there is a version for Linux ARM that works on Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.

Once you have the IDE up and running, install the ESP8266 board support.

I have no idea if you can develop for ESP32 on a Pi. The Arduino ESP32 package has not yet been released so it is not as easy to install and use as the ESP8266 package.
