The Espressif ESP32 Development Board (image attribution: Adafruit).
Below is a quick reference for ESP32-based boards. If it is your first time
working with this board it may be useful to get an overview of the microcontroller:

tutorial/index.rst
Note that there are several varieties of ESP32 -- ESP32, ESP32C3, ESP32C6, ESP32S2, ESP32S3 --
supported by MicroPython, with some differences in functionality between them.
Installing MicroPython
----------------------
See the corresponding section of tutorial: :ref:`esp32_intro`. It also includes
a troubleshooting subsection.
General board control
---------------------
The MicroPython REPL is on UART0 (GPIO1=TX, GPIO3=RX) at baudrate 115200.
Tab-completion is useful to find out what methods an object has.
Paste mode (ctrl-E) is useful to paste a large slab of Python code into
the REPL.
The :mod:`machine` module::
import machine
machine.freq() # get the current frequency of the CPU
machine.freq(240000000) # set the CPU frequency to 240 MHz
The :mod:`esp` module::
import esp
esp.osdebug(None) # turn off vendor O/S debugging messages
esp.osdebug(0) # redirect vendor O/S debugging messages to UART(0)
# low level methods to interact with flash storage
esp.flash_size()
esp.flash_user_start()
esp.flash_erase(sector_no)
esp.flash_write(byte_offset, buffer)
esp.flash_read(byte_offset, buffer)
The :mod:`esp32` module::
import esp32
esp32.raw_temperature() # read the internal temperature of the MCU, in Fahrenheit
esp32.ULP() # access to the Ultra-Low-Power Co-processor, not on ESP32C3/C6
Note that the temperature sensor in the ESP32 will typically read higher than
ambient due to the IC getting warm while it runs. This effect can be minimised
by reading the temperature sensor immediately after waking up from sleep.
ESP32C3, ESP32C6, ESP32S2, and ESP32S3 also have an internal temperature sensor available.
It is implemented a bit differently to the ESP32 and returns the temperature in
Celsius::
esp32.mcu_temperature() # read the internal temperature of the MCU, in Celsius
Networking
----------
WLAN
^^^^
The :class:`network.WLAN` class in the :mod:`network` module::
import network
wlan = network.WLAN() # create station interface (the default, see below for an access point interface)
wlan.active(True) # activate the interface
wlan.scan() # scan for access points
wlan.isconnected() # check if the station is connected to an AP
wlan.connect('ssid', 'key') # connect to an AP
wlan.config('mac') # get the interface's MAC address
wlan.ipconfig('addr4') # get the interface's IPv4 addresses
ap = network.WLAN(network.WLAN.IF_AP) # create access-point interface
ap.config(ssid='ESP-AP') # set the SSID of the access point
ap.config(max_clients=10) # set how many clients can connect to the network
ap.active(True) # activate the interface
A useful function for connecting to your local WiFi network is::
def do_connect():
import machine, network
wlan = network.WLAN()
wlan.active(True)
if not wlan.isconnected():
print('connecting to network...')
wlan.connect('ssid', 'key')
while not wlan.isconnected():
machine.idle()
print('network config:', wlan.ipconfig('addr4'))
Once the network is established the :mod:`socket <socket>` module can be used
to create and use TCP/UDP sockets as usual, and the ``requests`` module for
convenient HTTP requests.
After a call to ``wlan.connect()``, the device will by default retry to connect
**forever**, even when the authentication failed or no AP is in range.
``wlan.status()`` will return ``network.STAT_CONNECTING`` in this state until a
connection succeeds or the interface gets disabled. This can be changed by
calling ``wlan.config(reconnects=n)``, where n are the number of desired reconnect
attempts (0 means it won't retry, -1 will restore the default behaviour of trying
to reconnect forever).
.. _esp32_network_lan:
LAN
^^^
Built-in MAC (original ESP32)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The original ESP32 SoC has a built-in Ethernet MAC. Using this MAC requires an
external Ethernet PHY to be wired to the chip's EMAC pins. Most of the EMAC pin
assignments are fixed, consult the ESP32 datasheet for details.
If the PHY is connected, the internal Ethernet MAC can be configured via
the :class:`network.LAN` constructor::
import network
lan = network.LAN(mdc=PIN_MDC, ...) # Set the pin and mode configuration
lan.active(True) # activate the interface
lan.ipconfig('addr4') # get the interface's IPv4 addresses
Required keyword arguments for the constructor:
- ``mdc`` and ``mdio`` - :class:`machine.Pin` objects (or integers) specifying
the MDC and MDIO pins.
- ``phy_type`` - Select the PHY device type. Supported devices are
``PHY_GENERIC``,
``PHY_LAN8710``, ``PHY_LAN8720``, ``PHY_IP101``, ``PHY_RTL8201``,
``PHY_DP83848``, ``PHY_KSZ8041`` and ``PHY_KSZ8081``. These values are all
constants defined in the ``network`` module.
- ``phy_addr`` - The address number of the PHY device. Must be an integer in the
range 0x00 to 0x1f, inclusive. Common values are ``0`` and ``1``.
All of the above keyword arguments must be present to configure the interface.
Optional keyword arguments:
- ``reset`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying the PHY reset pin.
- ``power`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying a pin which
switches the power of the PHY device.
- ``ref_clk`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying the pin used
for the EMAC ``ref_clk`` signal. If not specified, the board default is used
(typically GPIO 0, but may be different if a particular board has Ethernet.)
- ``ref_clk_mode`` - Defines whether the EMAC ``ref_clk`` pin of the ESP32
should be an input or an output. Suitable values are ``machine.Pin.IN`` and
``machine.Pin.OUT``. If not specified, the board default is used
(typically input, but may be different if a particular board has Ethernet.)
These are working configurations for LAN interfaces of some popular ESP32 boards::
# Olimex ESP32-GATEWAY: power controlled by Pin(5)
# Olimex ESP32 PoE and ESP32-PoE ISO: power controlled by Pin(12)
lan = network.LAN(mdc=machine.Pin(23), mdio=machine.Pin(18), power=machine.Pin(5),
phy_type=network.PHY_LAN8720, phy_addr=0,
ref_clk=machine.Pin(17), ref_clk_mode=machine.Pin.OUT)
# Wireless-Tag's WT32-ETH01
lan = network.LAN(mdc=machine.Pin(23), mdio=machine.Pin(18),
phy_type=network.PHY_LAN8720, phy_addr=1, power=None)
# Wireless-Tag's WT32-ETH01 v1.4
lan = network.LAN(mdc=machine.Pin(23), mdio=machine.Pin(18),
phy_type=network.PHY_LAN8720, phy_addr=1,
power=machine.Pin(16))
# Espressif ESP32-Ethernet-Kit_A_V1.2
lan = network.LAN(id=0, mdc=Pin(23), mdio=Pin(18), power=Pin(5),
phy_type=network.PHY_IP101, phy_addr=1)
.. _esp32_spi_ethernet:
SPI Ethernet Interface
""""""""""""""""""""""
All ESP32 SoCs support external SPI Ethernet interface chips. These are Ethernet
interfaces that connect via a SPI bus, rather than an Ethernet RMII interface.
.. note:: The only exception is the ESP32 ``d2wd`` variant, where this feature is disabled
to save code size.
SPI Ethernet uses the same :class:`network.LAN` constructor, with a different
set of keyword arguments::
import machine, network
spi = machine.SPI(1, sck=SCK_PIN, mosi=MOSI_PIN, miso=MISO_PIN)
lan = network.LAN(spi=spi, cs=CS_PIN, ...) # Set the pin and mode configuration
lan.active(True) # activate the interface
lan.ipconfig('addr4') # get the interface's IPv4 addresses
Required keyword arguments for the constructor:
- ``spi`` - Should be a :class:`machine.SPI` object configured for this
connection. Note that any clock speed configured on the SPI object is ignored,
the SPI Ethernet clock speed is configured at compile time.
- ``cs`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying the CS pin
connected to the interface.
- ``int`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying the INT pin
connected to the interface.
- ``phy_type`` - Select the SPI Ethernet interface type. Supported devices are
``PHY_KSZ8851SNL``, ``PHY_DM9051``, ``PHY_W5500``. These values are all
constants defined in the ``network`` module.
- ``phy_addr`` - The address number of the PHY device. Must be an integer in the
range 0x00 to 0x1f, inclusive. This is usually ``0`` for SPI Ethernet devices.
All of the above keyword arguments must be present to configure the interface.
Optional keyword arguments for the constructor:
- ``reset`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying the SPI Ethernet
interface reset pin.
- ``power`` - :class:`machine.Pin` object (or integer) specifying a pin which
switches the power of the SPI Ethernet interface.
Here is a sample configuration for a WIZNet W5500 chip connected to pins on
an ESP32-S3 development board::
import machine, network
from machine import Pin, SPI
spi = SPI(1, sck=Pin(12), mosi=Pin(13), miso=Pin(14))
lan = network.LAN(spi=spi, phy_type=network.PHY_W5500, phy_addr=0,
cs=Pin(10), int=Pin(11))
.. note:: WIZnet W5500 Ethernet is also supported on some other MicroPython
ports, but using a :ref:`different software interface
<network.WIZNET5K>`.
Delay and timing
----------------
Use the :mod:`time <time>` module::
import time
time.sleep(1) # sleep for 1 second
time.sleep_ms(500) # sleep for 500 milliseconds
time.sleep_us(10) # sleep for 10 microseconds
start = time.ticks_ms() # get millisecond counter
delta = time.ticks_diff(time.ticks_ms(), start) # compute time difference
Timers
------
The ESP32 port has four hardware timers. Use the :ref:`machine.Timer <machine.Timer>` class
with a timer ID from 0 to 3 (inclusive)::
from machine import Timer
tim0 = Timer(0)
tim0.init(period=5000, mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, callback=lambda t:print(0))
tim1 = Timer(1)
tim1.init(period=2000, mode=Timer.PERIODIC, callback=lambda t:print(1))
The period is in milliseconds.
Virtual timers are not currently supported on this port.
.. _Pins_and_GPIO:
Pins and GPIO
-------------
Use the :ref:`machine.Pin <machine.Pin>` class::
from machine import Pin
p0 = Pin(0, Pin.OUT) # create output pin on GPIO0
p0.on() # set pin to "on" (high) level
p0.off() # set pin to "off" (low) level
p0.value(1) # set pin to on/high
p2 = Pin(2, Pin.IN) # create input pin on GPIO2
print(p2.value()) # get value, 0 or 1
p4 = Pin(4, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP) # enable internal pull-up resistor
p5 = Pin(5, Pin.OUT, value=1) # set pin high on creation
p6 = Pin(6, Pin.OUT, drive=Pin.DRIVE_3) # set maximum drive strength
Available Pins are from the following ranges (inclusive): 0-19, 21-23, 25-27, 32-39.
These correspond to the actual GPIO pin numbers of ESP32 chip. Note that many
end-user boards use their own adhoc pin numbering (marked e.g. D0, D1, ...).
For mapping between board logical pins and physical chip pins consult your board
documentation.
Four drive strengths are supported, using the ``drive`` keyword argument to the
``Pin()`` constructor or ``Pin.init()`` method, with different corresponding
safe maximum source/sink currents and approximate internal driver resistances:
- ``Pin.DRIVE_0``: 5mA / 130 ohm
- ``Pin.DRIVE_1``: 10mA / 60 ohm
- ``Pin.DRIVE_2``: 20mA / 30 ohm (default strength if not configured)
- ``Pin.DRIVE_3``: 40mA / 15 ohm
The ``hold=`` keyword argument to ``Pin()`` and ``Pin.init()`` will enable the
ESP32 "pad hold" feature. When set to ``True``, the pin configuration
(direction, pull resistors and output value) will be held and any further
changes (including changing the output level) will not be applied. Setting
``hold=False`` will immediately apply any outstanding pin configuration changes
and release the pin. Using ``hold=True`` while a pin is already held will apply
any configuration changes and then immediately reapply the hold.
Notes:
* Pins 1 and 3 are REPL UART TX and RX respectively
* Pins 6, 7, 8, 11, 16, and 17 are used for connecting the embedded flash,
and are not recommended for other uses
* Pins 34-39 are input only, and also do not have internal pull-up resistors
* See :ref:`Deep_sleep_Mode` for a discussion of pin behaviour during sleep
There's a higher-level abstraction :ref:`machine.Signal <machine.Signal>`
which can be used to invert a pin. Useful for illuminating active-low LEDs
using ``on()`` or ``value(1)``.
UART (serial bus)
-----------------
See :ref:`machine.UART <machine.UART>`. ::
from machine import UART
uart1 = UART(1, baudrate=9600, tx=33, rx=32)
uart1.write('hello') # write 5 bytes
uart1.read(5) # read up to 5 bytes
The ESP32 has three hardware UARTs: UART0, UART1 and UART2.
They each have default GPIO assigned to them, however depending on your
ESP32 variant and board, these pins may conflict with embedded flash,
onboard PSRAM or peripherals.
Any GPIO can be used for hardware UARTs using the GPIO matrix, except for
input-only pins 34-39 that can be used as ``rx``. To avoid conflicts simply
provide ``tx`` and ``rx`` pins when constructing. The default pins listed
below.
===== ===== ===== =====
\ UART0 UART1 UART2
===== ===== ===== =====
tx 1 10 17
rx 3 9 16
===== ===== ===== =====
PWM (pulse width modulation)
----------------------------
PWM can be enabled on all output-enabled pins. The base frequency can
range from 1Hz to 40MHz but there is a tradeoff; as the base frequency
*increases* the duty resolution *decreases*. See
`LED Control <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/ledc.html>`_
for more details.
Use the :ref:`machine.PWM <machine.PWM>` class::
from machine import Pin, PWM, lightsleep
pwm0 = PWM(Pin(0), freq=5000, duty_u16=32768) # create PWM object from a pin
freq = pwm0.freq() # get current frequency
pwm0.freq(1000) # set PWM frequency from 1Hz to 40MHz
duty = pwm0.duty() # get current duty cycle, range 0-1023 (default 512, 50%)
pwm0.duty(256) # set duty cycle from 0 to 1023 as a ratio duty/1023, (now 25%)
duty_u16 = pwm0.duty_u16() # get current duty cycle, range 0-65535
pwm0.duty_u16(65536*3//4) # set duty cycle from 0 to 65535 as a ratio duty_u16/65535, (now 75%)
duty_ns = pwm0.duty_ns() # get current pulse width in ns
pwm0.duty_ns(250_000) # set pulse width in nanoseconds from 0 to 1_000_000_000/freq, (now 25%)
pwm0.deinit() # turn off PWM on the pin
pwm2 = PWM(Pin(2), freq=20000, duty=512) # create and configure in one go
print(pwm2) # view PWM settings
pwm2.deinit() # turn off PWM on the pin
pwm0 = PWM(Pin(0), duty_u16=16384) # The output is at a high level 25% of the time.
pwm2 = PWM(Pin(2), duty_u16=16384, invert=1) # The output is at a low level 25% of the time.
pwm4 = PWM(Pin(4), lightsleep=True) # Allow PWM during light sleep mode
lightsleep(10*1000) # pwm0, pwm2 goes off, pwm4 stays on during 10s light sleep
# pwm0, pwm2, pwm4 on after 10s light sleep
ESP chips have different hardware peripherals:
======================================================= ======== ========= ==========
Hardware specification ESP32 ESP32-S2, ESP32-C2,
ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3,
ESP32-P4 ESP32-C5,
ESP32-C6,
ESP32-H2
------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- ----------
Number of groups (speed modes) 2 1 1
Number of timers per group 4 4 4
Number of channels per group 8 8 6
------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- ----------
Different PWM frequencies = (groups * timers) 8 4 4
Total PWM channels (Pins, duties) = (groups * channels) 16 8 6
======================================================= ======== ========= ==========
In light sleep, the ESP32 PWM can only operate in low speed mode, so only 4 timers and
8 channels are available.
A maximum number of PWM channels (Pins) are available on the ESP32 - 16 channels,
but only 8 different PWM frequencies are available, the remaining 8 channels must
have the same frequency. On the other hand, 16 independent PWM duty cycles are
possible at the same frequency.
See more examples in the :ref:`esp32_pwm` tutorial.
DAC (digital to analog conversion)
----------------------------------
On the ESP32, DAC functionality is available on pins 25, 26.
On the ESP32S2, DAC functionality is available on pins 17, 18.
Use the DAC::
from machine import DAC, Pin
dac = DAC(Pin(25)) # create an DAC object acting on a pin
dac.write(128) # set a raw analog value in the range 0-255, 50% now
ADC (analog to digital conversion)
----------------------------------
On the ESP32, ADC functionality is available on pins 32-39 (ADC block 1) and
pins 0, 2, 4, 12-15 and 25-27 (ADC block 2).
Use the :ref:`machine.ADC <machine.ADC>` class::
from machine import ADC
adc = ADC(pin) # create an ADC object acting on a pin
val = adc.read_u16() # read a raw analog value in the range 0-65535
val = adc.read_uv() # read an analog value in microvolts
ADC block 2 is also used by WiFi and so attempting to read analog values from
block 2 pins when WiFi is active will raise an exception.
The internal ADC reference voltage is typically 1.1V, but varies slightly from
package to package. The ADC is less linear close to the reference voltage
(particularly at higher attenuations) and has a minimum measurement voltage
around 100mV, voltages at or below this will read as 0. To read voltages
accurately, it is recommended to use the ``read_uv()`` method (see below).
ESP32-specific ADC class method reference:
.. class:: ADC(pin, *, atten)
Return the ADC object for the specified pin. ESP32 does not support
different timings for ADC sampling and so the ``sample_ns`` keyword argument
is not supported.
To read voltages above the reference voltage, apply input attenuation with
the ``atten`` keyword argument. Valid values (and approximate linear
measurement ranges) are:
- ``ADC.ATTN_0DB``: No attenuation (100mV - 950mV)
- ``ADC.ATTN_2_5DB``: 2.5dB attenuation (100mV - 1250mV)
- ``ADC.ATTN_6DB``: 6dB attenuation (150mV - 1750mV)
- ``ADC.ATTN_11DB``: 11dB attenuation (150mV - 2450mV)
.. Warning::
Note that the absolute maximum voltage rating for input pins is 3.6V. Going
near to this boundary risks damage to the IC!
.. method:: ADC.read_uv()
This method uses the known characteristics of the ADC and per-package eFuse
values - set during manufacture - to return a calibrated input voltage
(before attenuation) in microvolts. The returned value has only millivolt
resolution (i.e., will always be a multiple of 1000 microvolts).
The calibration is only valid across the linear range of the ADC. In
particular, an input tied to ground will read as a value above 0 microvolts.
Within the linear range, however, more accurate and consistent results will
be obtained than using `read_u16()` and scaling the result with a constant.
The ESP32 port also supports the :ref:`machine.ADC <machine.ADCBlock>` API:
.. class:: ADCBlock(id, *, bits)
Return the ADC block object with the given ``id`` (1 or 2) and initialize
it to the specified resolution (9 to 12-bits depending on the ESP32 series)
or the highest supported resolution if not specified.
.. method:: ADCBlock.connect(pin)
ADCBlock.connect(channel)
ADCBlock.connect(channel, pin)
Return the ``ADC`` object for the specified ADC pin or channel number.
Arbitrary connection of ADC channels to GPIO is not supported and so
specifying a pin that is not connected to this block, or specifying a
mismatched channel and pin, will raise an exception.
Legacy methods:
.. method:: ADC.read()
This method returns the raw ADC value ranged according to the resolution of
the block, e.g., 0-4095 for 12-bit resolution.
.. method:: ADC.atten(atten)
Equivalent to ``ADC.init(atten=atten)``.
.. method:: ADC.width(bits)
Equivalent to ``ADC.block().init(bits=bits)``.
For compatibility, the ``ADC`` object also provides constants matching the
supported ADC resolutions:
- ``ADC.WIDTH_9BIT`` = 9
- ``ADC.WIDTH_10BIT`` = 10
- ``ADC.WIDTH_11BIT`` = 11
- ``ADC.WIDTH_12BIT`` = 12
Software SPI bus
----------------
Software SPI (using bit-banging) works on all pins, and is accessed via the
:ref:`machine.SoftSPI <machine.SoftSPI>` class::
from machine import Pin, SoftSPI
# construct a SoftSPI bus on the given pins
# polarity is the idle state of SCK
# phase=0 means sample on the first edge of SCK, phase=1 means the second
spi = SoftSPI(baudrate=100000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(0), mosi=Pin(2), miso=Pin(4))
spi.init(baudrate=200000) # set the baudrate
spi.read(10) # read 10 bytes on MISO
spi.read(10, 0xff) # read 10 bytes while outputting 0xff on MOSI
buf = bytearray(50) # create a buffer
spi.readinto(buf) # read into the given buffer (reads 50 bytes in this case)
spi.readinto(buf, 0xff) # read into the given buffer and output 0xff on MOSI
spi.write(b'12345') # write 5 bytes on MOSI
buf = bytearray(4) # create a buffer
spi.write_readinto(b'1234', buf) # write to MOSI and read from MISO into the buffer
spi.write_readinto(buf, buf) # write buf to MOSI and read MISO back into buf
.. Warning::
Currently *all* of ``sck``, ``mosi`` and ``miso`` *must* be specified when
initialising Software SPI.
Hardware SPI bus
----------------
There are two hardware SPI channels that allow faster transmission
rates (up to 80Mhz). These may be used on any IO pins that support the
required direction and are otherwise unused (see :ref:`Pins_and_GPIO`)
but if they are not configured to their default pins then they need to
pass through an extra layer of GPIO multiplexing, which can impact
their reliability at high speeds. Hardware SPI channels are limited
to 40MHz when used on pins other than the default ones listed below.
===== =========== ============
\ HSPI (id=1) VSPI (id=2)
===== =========== ============
sck 14 18
mosi 13 23
miso 12 19
===== =========== ============
Hardware SPI is accessed via the :ref:`machine.SPI <machine.SPI>` class and
has the same methods as software SPI above::
from machine import Pin, SPI
hspi = SPI(1, 10000000)
hspi = SPI(1, 10000000, sck=Pin(14), mosi=Pin(13), miso=Pin(12))
vspi = SPI(2, baudrate=80000000, polarity=0, phase=0, bits=8, firstbit=0, sck=Pin(18), mosi=Pin(23), miso=Pin(19))
Software I2C bus
----------------
Software I2C (using bit-banging) works on all output-capable pins, and is
accessed via the :ref:`machine.SoftI2C <machine.SoftI2C>` class::
from machine import Pin, SoftI2C
i2c = SoftI2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4), freq=100000)
i2c.scan() # scan for devices
i2c.readfrom(0x3a, 4) # read 4 bytes from device with address 0x3a
i2c.writeto(0x3a, '12') # write '12' to device with address 0x3a
buf = bytearray(10) # create a buffer with 10 bytes
i2c.writeto(0x3a, buf) # write the given buffer to the peripheral
Hardware I2C bus
----------------
There are two hardware I2C peripherals with identifiers 0 and 1. Any available
output-capable pins can be used for SCL and SDA but the defaults are given
below.
===== =========== ============
\ I2C(0) I2C(1)
===== =========== ============
scl 18 25
sda 19 26
===== =========== ============
The driver is accessed via the :ref:`machine.I2C <machine.I2C>` class and
has the same methods as software I2C above::
from machine import Pin, I2C
i2c = I2C(0)
i2c = I2C(1, scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4), freq=400000)
I2S bus
-------
See :ref:`machine.I2S <machine.I2S>`. ::
from machine import I2S, Pin
i2s = I2S(0, sck=Pin(13), ws=Pin(14), sd=Pin(34), mode=I2S.TX, bits=16, format=I2S.STEREO, rate=44100, ibuf=40000) # create I2S object
i2s.write(buf) # write buffer of audio samples to I2S device
i2s = I2S(1, sck=Pin(33), ws=Pin(25), sd=Pin(32), mode=I2S.RX, bits=16, format=I2S.MONO, rate=22050, ibuf=40000) # create I2S object
i2s.readinto(buf) # fill buffer with audio samples from I2S device
The I2S class is currently available as a Technical Preview. During the preview period, feedback from
users is encouraged. Based on this feedback, the I2S class API and implementation may be changed.
ESP32 has two I2S buses with id=0 and id=1
Real time clock (RTC)
---------------------
See :ref:`machine.RTC <machine.RTC>` ::
from machine import RTC
rtc = RTC()
rtc.datetime((2017, 8, 23, 0, 1, 12, 48, 0)) # set a specific date and
# time, eg. 2017/8/23 1:12:48
# the day-of-week value is ignored
rtc.datetime() # get date and time
WDT (Watchdog timer)
--------------------
See :ref:`machine.WDT <machine.WDT>`. ::
from machine import WDT
# enable the WDT with a timeout of 5s (1s is the minimum)

Deep-sleep mode
---------------
The following code can be used to sleep, wake and check the reset cause::
import machine
# check if the device woke from a deep sleep
if machine.reset_cause() == machine.DEEPSLEEP_RESET:
print('woke from a deep sleep')
# put the device to sleep for 10 seconds
machine.deepsleep(10000)
Notes:
* Calling ``deepsleep()`` without an argument will put the device to sleep
indefinitely
* A software reset does not change the reset cause
Some ESP32 pins (0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27, 32-39) are connected to the RTC during
deep-sleep and can be used to wake the device with the ``wake_on_`` functions in
the :mod:`esp32` module. The output-capable RTC pins (all except 34-39) will
also retain their pull-up or pull-down resistor configuration when entering
deep-sleep.
If the pull resistors are not actively required during deep-sleep and are likely
to cause current leakage (for example a pull-up resistor is connected to ground
through a switch), then they should be disabled to save power before entering
deep-sleep mode::
from machine import Pin, deepsleep
# configure input RTC pin with pull-up on boot
pin = Pin(2, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP)
# disable pull-up and put the device to sleep for 10 seconds
pin.init(pull=None)
machine.deepsleep(10000)
Output-configured RTC pins will also retain their output direction and level in
deep-sleep if pad hold is enabled with the ``hold=True`` argument to
``Pin.init()``.
Non-RTC GPIO pins will be disconnected by default on entering deep-sleep.
Configuration of non-RTC pins - including output level - can be retained by
enabling pad hold on the pin and enabling GPIO pad hold during deep-sleep::
from machine import Pin, deepsleep
import esp32
opin = Pin(19, Pin.OUT, value=1, hold=True) # hold output level
ipin = Pin(21, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP, hold=True) # hold pull-up
# enable pad hold in deep-sleep for non-RTC GPIO
esp32.gpio_deep_sleep_hold(True)
# put the device to sleep for 10 seconds
deepsleep(10000)
The pin configuration - including the pad hold - will be retained on wake from
sleep. See :ref:`Pins_and_GPIO` above for a further discussion of pad holding.
SD card
-------
See :ref:`machine.SDCard <machine.SDCard>`. ::
import machine, os, vfs
# On original ESP32, slot 2 uses pins sck=18, cs=5, miso=19, mosi=23
sd = machine.SDCard(slot=2)
vfs.mount(sd, '/sd') # mount
os.listdir('/sd') # list directory contents
vfs.umount('/sd') # eject
RMT
---
The RMT is ESP32-specific and allows generation of accurate digital pulses with
12.5ns resolution. See :ref:`esp32.RMT <esp32.RMT>` for details. Usage is::
import esp32
from machine import Pin
r = esp32.RMT(0, pin=Pin(18), clock_div=8)
r # RMT(channel=0, pin=18, source_freq=80000000, clock_div=8)
# The channel resolution is 100ns (1/(source_freq/clock_div)).
r.write_pulses((1, 20, 2, 40), 0) # Send 0 for 100ns, 1 for 2000ns, 0 for 200ns, 1 for 4000ns
OneWire driver
--------------
The OneWire driver is implemented in software and works on all pins::
from machine import Pin
import onewire
ow = onewire.OneWire(Pin(12)) # create a OneWire bus on GPIO12
ow.scan() # return a list of devices on the bus
ow.reset() # reset the bus
ow.readbyte() # read a byte
ow.writebyte(0x12) # write a byte on the bus
ow.write('123') # write bytes on the bus
ow.select_rom(b'12345678') # select a specific device by its ROM code
There is a specific driver for DS18S20 and DS18B20 devices::
import time, ds18x20
ds = ds18x20.DS18X20(ow)
roms = ds.scan()
ds.convert_temp()
time.sleep_ms(750)
for rom in roms:
print(ds.read_temp(rom))
Be sure to put a 4.7k pull-up resistor on the data line. Note that
the ``convert_temp()`` method must be called each time you want to
sample the temperature.
NeoPixel and APA106 driver
--------------------------
Use the ``neopixel`` and ``apa106`` modules::
from machine import Pin
from neopixel import NeoPixel
pin = Pin(0, Pin.OUT) # set GPIO0 to output to drive NeoPixels
np = NeoPixel(pin, 8) # create NeoPixel driver on GPIO0 for 8 pixels
np[0] = (255, 255, 255) # set the first pixel to white
np.write() # write data to all pixels
r, g, b = np[0] # get first pixel colour
The APA106 driver extends NeoPixel, but internally uses a different colour order::
from apa106 import APA106
ap = APA106(pin, 8)
r, g, b = ap[0]
.. Warning::
By default ``NeoPixel`` is configured to control the more popular *800kHz*
units. It is possible to use alternative timing to control other (typically
400kHz) devices by passing ``timing=0`` when constructing the
``NeoPixel`` object.
For low-level driving of a NeoPixel see `machine.bitstream`.
This low-level driver uses an RMT channel by default. To configure this see
`RMT.bitstream_channel`.
APA102 (DotStar) uses a different driver as it has an additional clock pin.
Capacitive touch
----------------
ESP32, ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 support capacitive touch via the ``TouchPad`` class
in the ``machine`` module::
from machine import TouchPad, Pin
t = TouchPad(Pin(14))
t.read() # Returns a smaller number when touched
``TouchPad.read`` returns a value proportional to the capacitance between the
pin and the board's Ground connection. On ESP32 the number becomes smaller when
the pin (or connected touch pad) is touched, on ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 the number
becomes larger when the pin is touched.
In all cases, a touch causes a significant change in the return value. Note the
returned values are *relative* and can vary depending on the board and
surrounding environment so some calibration (i.e. comparison to a baseline or
rolling average) may be required.
========= ==============================================
Chip Touch-enabled pins
--------- ----------------------------------------------
ESP32 0, 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 27, 32, 33
ESP32-S2 1 to 14 inclusive
ESP32-S3 1 to 14 inclusive
========= ==============================================
Trying to assign to any other pins will result in a ``ValueError``.
Note that TouchPads can be used to wake an ESP32 from sleep::
import machine
from machine import TouchPad, Pin
import esp32
t = TouchPad(Pin(14))
t.config(500) # configure the threshold at which the pin is considered touched
esp32.wake_on_touch(True)
machine.lightsleep() # put the MCU to sleep until a touchpad is touched
For more details on touchpads refer to `Espressif Touch Sensor
<https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/touch_pad.html>`_.
DHT driver
----------
The DHT driver is implemented in software and works on all pins::
import dht
import machine
d = dht.DHT11(machine.Pin(4))
d.measure()
d.temperature() # eg. 23 (°C)
d.humidity() # eg. 41 (% RH)
d = dht.DHT22(machine.Pin(4))
d.measure()
d.temperature() # eg. 23.6 (°C)
d.humidity() # eg. 41.3 (% RH)
WebREPL (web browser interactive prompt)
----------------------------------------
WebREPL (REPL over WebSockets, accessible via a web browser) is an
experimental feature available in ESP32 port. Download web client
from https://github.com/micropython/webrepl (hosted version available
at http://micropython.org/webrepl), and configure it by executing::
import webrepl_setup
and following on-screen instructions. After reboot, it will be available
for connection. If you disabled automatic start-up on boot, you may
run configured daemon on demand using::
import webrepl
webrepl.start()
# or, start with a specific password
webrepl.start(password='mypass')
The WebREPL daemon listens on all active interfaces, which can be STA or
AP. This allows you to connect to the ESP32 via a router (the STA
interface) or directly when connected to its access point.
In addition to terminal/command prompt access, WebREPL also has provision
for file transfer (both upload and download). The web client has buttons for
the corresponding functions, or you can use the command-line client
``webrepl_cli.py`` from the repository above.
See the MicroPython forum for other community-supported alternatives
to transfer files to an ESP32 board.
