This example shows how easy it is to fade an LED using an ESP32
The code is fairly straightforward
ledcSetup(ledChannel, freq, resolution) – this sets a channel of which there are 16 available, a frequency and a resolution which can be between 1 and 16 to the ledcsetup function. The frequency is a mystery at the moment but i wouldn't set it too high.
We now need to attach this to a pin where the led will be connected via ledcAttachPin(A13, ledChannel) – I chose A13 or 15 as its numbered on my LOLIN32
If you open the pins_arduino.h you will see where I get the A13 from
static const uint8_t A0 = 36;
static const uint8_t A3 = 39;
static const uint8_t A4 = 32;
static const uint8_t A5 = 33;
static const uint8_t A6 = 34;
static const uint8_t A7 = 35;
static const uint8_t A10 = 4;
static const uint8_t A11 = 0;
static const uint8_t A12 = 2;
static const uint8_t A13 = 15;
static const uint8_t A14 = 13;
static const uint8_t A15 = 12;
static const uint8_t A16 = 14;
static const uint8_t A17 = 27;
static const uint8_t A18 = 25;
static const uint8_t A19 = 26;
The two for loops fade the led in and out
Code
[cpp]
int freq = 10000;
int ledChannel = 0;
int resolution = 8;
void setup() {
ledcSetup(ledChannel, freq, resolution);
ledcAttachPin(A13, ledChannel);
}
void loop()
{
for (int dutyCycle = 0; dutyCycle <= 255; dutyCycle++)
{
ledcWrite(ledChannel, dutyCycle);
delay(5);
}
for (int dutyCycle = 255; dutyCycle >= 0; dutyCycle–)
{
ledcWrite(ledChannel, dutyCycle);
delay(5);
}
}
