# Blink Example
2016-09-21 00:57:02 -04:00
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
2016-09-21 00:57:02 -04:00
This example demonstrates how to blink a LED using GPIO or using the [led_strip](https://components.espressif.com/component/espressif/led_strip) component for the addressable LED, i.e. [WS2812](https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2812B.pdf).
The `led_strip` is installed via [component manager](main/idf_component.yml).
## How to Use Example
Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using `idf.py set-target <chip_name>`.
### Hardware Required
2022-05-07 10:59:34 -04:00
* A development board with Espressif SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
* A USB cable for Power supply and programming
Some development boards use an addressable LED instead of a regular one. These development boards include:
| Board | LED type | Pin |
| -------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- |
| ESP32-C3-DevKitC-1 | Addressable | GPIO8 |
| ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 | Addressable | GPIO8 |
| ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1 | Addressable | GPIO18 |
| ESP32-S2-Saola-1 | Addressable | GPIO18 |
| ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 | Addressable | GPIO48 |
See [Development Boards](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits) for more information about it.
### Configure the Project
Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`).
In the `Example Configuration` menu:
* Select the LED type in the `Blink LED type` option.
* Use `GPIO` for regular LED blink.
* Set the GPIO number used for the signal in the `Blink GPIO number` option.
* Set the blinking period in the `Blink period in ms` option.
### Build and Flash
Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output
2022-05-07 10:59:34 -04:00
As you run the example, you will see the LED blinking, according to the previously defined period. For the addressable LED, you can also change the LED color by setting the `led_strip_set_pixel(led_strip, 0, 16, 16, 16);` (LED Strip, Pixel Number, Red, Green, Blue) with values from 0 to 255 in the [source file](main/blink_example_main.c).
```text
I (315) example: Example configured to blink addressable LED!
I (325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (1325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (2325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (3325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (4325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (5325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (6325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (7325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (8325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
```
Note: The color order could be different according to the LED model.
The pixel number indicates the pixel position in the LED strip. For a single LED, use 0.
## Troubleshooting
* If the LED isn't blinking, check the GPIO or the LED type selection in the `Example Configuration` menu.
