ESP32 Example

ESP32 PWM LED Example

Generate PWM using ESP32 LEDC.

Wiring

Check pinout, power supply, common GND and voltage levels before connecting the module.

Full code

const int pwmPin = 18;
const int channel = 0;

void setup() {
  ledcSetup(channel, 5000, 8);
  ledcAttachPin(pwmPin, channel);
}

void loop() {
  ledcWrite(channel, 80);
  delay(1000);
  ledcWrite(channel, 220);
  delay(1000);
}

How it works

This lesson matches the page title and gives a clean starting point for this exact example.

Common mistakes

Check board selection, wiring, libraries, power supply and serial monitor baud rate.
