7.4 WiFi Tutorial

The ESP32 supports WiFi function. Here we build a WiFi server with the ESP32, and use the client to connect it to control an LED remotely.

/*

  2. Visit http://192.168.4.1/H to turn on the LED; Visit http://192.168.4.1/L to turn off the LED
     OR
     Run raw TCP "GET /H" and "GET /L" on PuTTY terminal with 192.168.4.1 as IP address and 80 as port

ESP32 provides the function of capacitive touch sensor. There are 9 touch sensors (T0, T2 ~ T9)available, corresponding to pins 4, 2, 15, 13, 12, 14, 27, 33 and 32 respectively. There is no need to set PinMode. The return value of touchRead() is within 0 ~ 255. The greater the touch force, the smaller the return value. Burning this sample code into your board, use the pin 4/D12 as the touch key, the touch value will be returned through the serial port monitor.

7.7 RGB_LED

FastLED is a powerful but easy-to-use Arduino third-party library for controlling LED strips such as WS2812 and LPD8806. At present, FastLED is recognized as one of the most widely used LED controlling libraries by Arduino developers. FireBeetle integrates FastLED into the core library. The following code demonstrates how to use the 5/D8 conneted RGB_LED.

#include <FastLED.h>

// How many leds in your strip?
#define NUM_LEDS 1

// For led chips like WS2812, which have a data line, ground, and power, you just
// need to define DATA_PIN.  For led chipsets that are SPI based (four wires - data, clock,
// ground, and power), like the LPD8806 define both DATA_PIN and CLOCK_PIN
// Clock pin only needed for SPI based chipsets when not using hardware SPI
#define DATA_PIN 5
#define CLOCK_PIN 13

// Define the array of leds
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];

void setup() { 
    // Uncomment/edit one of the following lines for your leds arrangement.
    // ## Clockless types ##
    FastLED.addLeds<NEOPIXEL, DATA_PIN>(leds, NUM_LEDS);  // GRB ordering is assumed
}

void loop() { 
  //LED light up in red 
  leds[0] = CRGB::Red;
  FastLED.show();
  delay(500);
  // LED light up in green 
  leds[0] = CRGB::Green;
  FastLED.show();
  delay(500);
  // LED light up in blue 
  leds[0] = CRGB::Blue;
  FastLED.show();
  delay(500);

7.8 Sleep Mode

In sleep mode, the power consumption can be reduced to 10μA (disconnect the low-power pad). The following will demonstrate how to enter the sleep mode at a set time.

#define uS_TO_S_FACTOR 1000000ULL  /* Conversion factor for micro seconds to seconds */
#define TIME_TO_SLEEP  5        /* Time ESP32 will go to sleep (in seconds) */

void print_wakeup_reason(){
  esp_sleep_wakeup_cause_t wakeup_reason;

    default : Serial.printf("Wakeup was not caused by deep sleep: %d\n",wakeup_reason); break;
  }
}

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(1000); //Take some time to open up the Serial Monitor

  //Increment boot number and print it every reboot
  ++bootCount;
  Serial.println("Boot number: " + String(bootCount));

  //Print the wakeup reason for ESP32
  print_wakeup_reason();

  /*

  We set our ESP32 to wake up every 5 seconds
  */

  " Seconds");

  /*

8.5 I2C

IIC Master/Slave Pin

Different from the one-to-one communication mode of serial port, bus communication is usually divided into master and slave. During communication, the master is responsible for starting and terminating data transmission, and also outputs clock signal; the slave is addressed by the host and responds to the communication request of the host. The communication rate is controlled by the host, and the master outputs clock signal for all slaves on the bus through SCL pin. At the same time, I2C is a half duplex communication mode, that is, the devices on the bus transmit communication data through SDA pins, and the sending and receiving of data are controlled by the host computer. Esp32 has two I2C controllers (also known as ports) that handle communication on both I2C buses. Each I2C controller can run as a master or slave. Pin 21 is default to SDA, pin 22 to SCL.

8.6 SPI

SPI Pin

ESP32 has four SPI peripherals: SPI0，SPI1, HSPI and VSPI.

  1. SPI0 is used for flash cache, and ESP32 maps the attached SPI flash device to memory.
  2. SPI1 and SPI0 share one hardware line, SPI1 is used to write flash chip.
  3. HSPI and VSPI can be used arbitrarily.
  4. SPI1, HSPI and VSPI have three chip selection lines, so as SPI host, ESP32 is allowed to drive up to three SPI devices.

BLE Usage

In this demo, the module FireBeetle ESP32-E acts as the BLE server, and the client could be a mobile phone. Install a BLE helper on the phone to establish BLE connection with the ESP32 module. Here we use the Light Blue on iPhone to show you how to do that, such kind of Bluetooth software can also be found on Android phones.

The operation on the client is as follows:

10 Using with IFTTT

What is IFTTT?

If This Then That (commonly known as IFTTT, /ɪft/), is a web-based service that allows users to create chains of conditional statements triggered by changes that occur within other web services. It is both a website and a mobile app of free service with the following slogan: "Put the Internet to work for you". IFTTT aims to help people use the open API of various websites to monitor the triggers set by users. If triggers are triggered, actions set by users will be executed. Usually, we can create n applets to meet our various automation needs.
