Supported Targets	ESP32	ESP32-C2	ESP32-C3	ESP32-C5	ESP32-C6	ESP32-H2	ESP32-P4	ESP32-S2	ESP32-S3

Example: GPIO

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This test code shows how to configure GPIO and how to use it with interruption.

GPIO functions:

GPIO	Direction	Configuration
CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_0	output
CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_1	output
CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_0	input	pulled up, interrupt from rising edge and falling edge
CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_1	input	pulled up, interrupt from rising edge

Test:

1. Connect CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_0 with CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_0
2. Connect CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_1 with CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_1
3. Generate pulses on CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_0/1, that triggers interrupt on CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_0/1

Note: The following pin assignments are used by default, you can change them by idf.py menuconfig > Example Configuration.

	CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_0	CONFIG_GPIO_OUTPUT_1	CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_0	CONFIG_GPIO_INPUT_1
ESP32C2/ESP32H2	8	9	4	5
All other chips	18	19	4	5

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 any Espressif SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
• A USB cable for Power supply and programming
• Some jumper wires to connect GPIOs.

Configure the project

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run the monitor tool to view the serial output:

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 for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
