Sigma Delta Modulation LED Example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example uses the sigma-delta driver to generate modulated output on a GPIO. If you connect a LED or LCD backlight control to the output GPIO, you will see it slowly brightening and dimming.
How to use example
Hardware Required
- A development board with any supported Espressif SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
- A USB cable for Power supply and programming
- An LED and a resistor to limit the LED current. Connect them as below:
330R LED
EXAMPLE_SIGMA_DELTA_GPIO_NUM +----/\/\/\----+------|>|-----+ GND
Configure the project
You can change the GPIO number by EXAMPLE_SIGMA_DELTA_GPIO_NUM.
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run the monitor tool to view the serial output:
Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
to build, flash and monitor the project.
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-]
.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
Example Output
Once the upload is complete and the board is reset, the program should start running. This is reported on the monitor as below:
...
I (245) cpu_start: Starting scheduler.
I (249) example: Install sigma delta channel
I (249) gpio: GPIO[0]| InputEn: 0| OutputEn: 1| OpenDrain: 0| Pullup: 1| Pulldown: 0| Intr:0
I (259) example: Enable sigma delta channel
I (259) example: Change duty cycle continuously
Immediately after that the LED should start brightening and dimming.
