Blink Example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example demonstrates how to blink a LED using GPIO or using the led_strip component for the addressable LED, i.e. WS2812.
The led_strip
is installed via component manager.
How to Use Example
Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using idf.py set-target <chip_name>
.
Hardware Required
- A development board with Espressif SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
- A USB cable for Power supply and programming
Some development boards use an addressable LED instead of a regular one. These development boards include:
Board | LED type | Pin |
---|---|---|
ESP32-C3-DevKitC-1 | Addressable | GPIO8 |
ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 | Addressable | GPIO8 |
ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1 | Addressable | GPIO18 |
ESP32-S2-Saola-1 | Addressable | GPIO18 |
ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 | Addressable | GPIO48 |
See Development Boards for more information about it.
Configure the Project
Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig
).
In the Example Configuration
menu:
- Select the LED type in the
Blink LED type
option.- Use
GPIO
for regular LED blink.
- Use
- Set the GPIO number used for the signal in the
Blink GPIO number
option. - Set the blinking period in the
Blink period in ms
option.
Build and Flash
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
As you run the example, you will see the LED blinking, according to the previously defined period. For the addressable LED, you can also change the LED color by setting the led_strip_set_pixel(led_strip, 0, 16, 16, 16);
(LED Strip, Pixel Number, Red, Green, Blue) with values from 0 to 255 in the source file.

I (1325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (2325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (3325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (4325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (5325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (6325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
I (7325) example: Turning the LED ON!
I (8325) example: Turning the LED OFF!
Note: The color order could be different according to the LED model.
The pixel number indicates the pixel position in the LED strip. For a single LED, use 0.
Troubleshooting
- If the LED isn't blinking, check the GPIO or the LED type selection in the
Example Configuration
menu.
