Lesson 4.2.1. IO Ports. The brightness of the fire



  • Step 1. Go to the folder Arduino-ESP32-IDE and open the app arduino.exe (Fig. 1);

    Step 4. Add to the beginning of system functions void setup() function call M5.begin();
    Please note that the Arduino IDE does not support the standard functions for working with analog ports of the microcontroller ESP32.
    Add to the end system functions void loop() function call M5.update (); is required for correct operation of the device with built-in buttons (Fig. 2.2);

    Step 5. To work with PWM port (Fig. 2, 2.1) you can use the functions from list 1.

    List 1. Analog functions for ESP32

    • list itemledcSetup(uint8_t c, uint8_t f, uint8_t r); Sets the number of the channel c, frequency f (Hz) and resolution r (8 bits) for PWM
    • ledcAttachPin(uint8_t p, uint8_t c); Assigns the contact p to the channel c
    • ledcWrite(uint8_t C, uint8_t d); Sets the value of the filling signal d on channel c
    • ledcRead(uint8_t c); Gets the value of the PWM signal of the c channel

    Step 7. Write a brightness controller for led (Fig. 3);

    Step 6. Prepare the led To 5 V and a resistor of 100 Ω (figure 4) and the cable, which is included in the kit (Fig. 4.1);

  • Thanks Dimi!
    Just a little remark: I can not see any figure of this lesson, Could you please check it?



  • @zuobiao thank you! I'm working on a story, photos will be added soon
