Digital Input and Output with MicroPyton and ESP32/ESP8266[edit]
In this part of the tutorial, we explain how to control digital outputs and how to read digital inputs using MicroPyton on ESP32/ESP8266. This includes switching the state of the GPIOs (general purpose input output) and also how to create a pulse width modulation output for changing the brightness of an LED or for controlling a servo.
Success criteria[edit]
- you can set a GPIO pin to on or off from the python prompt
- you can write a loop to blink an external LED
- you can use pulse width modulation to control the intensity of an LED
- you can use pulse width modulation to control a servo that can be directly driven from the ESP Module
- you can read in the status of a GPIO
- you can connect a switch or a push-button and read its status into a variable
