ESP32-WROOM-32D Module Adapter Pinouts

ESP32-WROOM-32D modules are well suited for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/Bluetooth LE-based connectivity applications and provide a solid dual-core performance. These modules target a wide variety of applications, ranging from low-power sensor networks to the most demanding tasks, such as voice encoding, music streaming and MP3 decoding.

The adapter allows interchangability of ESP32 modules between different nodes. The adapter contains minimal components on its PCB, just enough to ensure module's operation. (ESP32 8-N-1)

Programming via UART

ESP32 modules can be programmed using USB-UART adapter connected to the corresponding UART pins on the ESP32 module. This approach allows to save space on PCB boards, which is very helpful when PCB dimentions have constraints.

Important

Remember to swap Tx and Rx between receiver and sender (i.e. Rx on a sender side becomes Tx on a receiver side).

Connect Tx and Rx to their sorresponding pins: GPIOs GPIO03 and GPIO01 on ESP32-Module; or pins 34 and 35 on ESP32 adapter board.

ESP32 Programming via UART

Unified Configuration Framework

ESP Nodes performing specific operations can use different ESP32 Modules for optimization purposes. As dicersity of ESP32s being used by the Nodes increases, so does the code. However, in order to keep core code independent from the ESP32 Module being used, the so-called configurations specific for the particular ESP32 Module are defined in config.h file.

Important

Remember to add entry for congif.h inside .gitignore file to prevent Git from pushing security sensitive data to the repository.

Temperature Node. The Key Elements and Components

The Temperature Node broadcasts the air temperature, atmospheric pressure and air humidity over secured MQTT.

I2C Air Temperature Thermostat (LM75A)

The LM75A is an industry-standard digital temperature sensor. The LM75A provides 9-bit digital temperature readings with an accuracy of ±2°C from 25°C to 100°C and ±3°C over 55°C to 125°C. The LM75A operates with a single supply from +2.7 V to +5.5 V. Communication is accomplished over a 2-wire interface which operates up to 400kHz. The LM75A has three address pins, allowing up to eight LM75A devices to operate on the same 2-wire bus. The LM75A has a dedicated over-temperature output (O.S.) with programmable limit and hysteresis. This output has programmable fault tolerance, which allows the user to define the number of consecutive error conditions that must occur before O.S. is activated.

I2C Air Temperature, Pressure and Humidity Sensor Board (BME280)

BME280 is combined temperature, humidity and pressure sensor. The unit combines high linearity and high accuracy sensors and is perfectly feasible for low current consumption, long-term stability and high EMC robustness. The humidity sensor offers an extremely fast response time and therefore supports performance requirements for emerging applications such as context awareness, and high accuracy over a wide temperature range.3

Below is the functional diagram of BME-/BMP-280. Notable difference between the two devices, is that BME-280 is capable of measuring relative humidity. BME-280 has square shape, while BMP-280 has rectangular shape.

ESP32-Node Pinout

Important

BME2803 and BMP2804 look almost identical. However, BME280 sensor has a square form, while BMP280 has a rectangular form. In addition, the two sensor boards can have different I2C addresses.

ESP32-Node Pinout

4-pin variant

The BME280 sensor board interface uses 4 pins and is 13mm by 10.5mm in size. The four pins are VIN, GND, SCL and SDA. The measured values are sent via I2C protocol. The I2C slave address is pre-defined and can take value either 0x76 or 0x77 (BME280 Datasheet, page 32)5.

Reading Values

i2c_master_write_read_device(I2C_MASTER_NUM, 0x76, &reg_addr, 1, data, len, I2C_MASTER_TIMEOUT_MS / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);

Data readout is done by starting a burst read from 0xF7 to 0xFC (temperature and pressure) or from 0xF7 to 0xFE (temperature, pressure, and humidity). The data are rad out in an unsigned 20-bit format both for pressure and for temperature, and in an unsigned 26-bit format for humidity. After the uncompensated values for pressure, temperature, and humidity have been read, the actual humidity, pressure and temperature needs to be calculated using the compensation parameters stored in the device.
