# Blink Example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates how to blink a LED using GPIO or RMT for the addressable LED, i.e. [WS2812](http://www.world-semi.com/Certifications/WS2812B.html).
|
|
|
|
See the RMT examples in the [RMT Peripheral](../../peripherals/rmt) for more information about how to use it.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
* A development board with ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-C3 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 |
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
* * Use `RMT` for addressable LED blink.
|
|
* * * Use `RMT Channel` to select the RMT peripheral channel.
|
|
* 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
|
|
|
|
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 `pStrip_a->set_pixel(pStrip_a, 0, 16, 16, 16);` (LED Strip, Pixel Number, Red, Green, Blue) with values from 0 to 255 in the `blink.c` file.
|
|
|
|
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.
