Example: Blink C++ example

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

This example demonstrates usage of the GPIO_Output C++ class in ESP-IDF.

In this example, the sdkconfig.defaults file sets the CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS option. This enables both compile time support (-fexceptions compiler flag) and run-time support for C++ exception handling. This is necessary for the C++ APIs.

How to use example

Hardware Required

Any ESP32 family development board.

Connect an LED to the corresponding pin (default is pin 4). If the board has a normal LED already, you can use the pin number to which that one is connected.

Development boards with an RGB LED that only has one data line like the ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02 and ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 will not work. In this case, please connect an external normal LED to the chosen pin.

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

Build and Flash

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
