Welcome to MicroROS Robot Expansion Board repository

Turn on the LED light

1. Experimental purpose

Control the LED indicator light on the microROS control board to flash.

2. Hardware connection

As shown in the figure below, the LED indicator is an onboard component and does not require the connection of other external devices. Just connect the computer and microROS control board with a Type-C data cable to realize the firmware flashing function.

3. Core code analysis

The virtual machine path corresponding to the program source code is:

~/esp/Samples/esp32_samples/led

Initialize the LED peripherals, where LED_GPIO corresponds to GPIO45 of the hardware circuit, and the GPIO mode is the output mode.

x
void Led_Init(void)
{
    // zero-initialize the config structure.
    gpio_config_t io_conf = {};
    //disable interrupt 禁用中断
    io_conf.intr_type = GPIO_INTR_DISABLE;
    //set as output mode 设置为输出模式
    io_conf.mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT;
    //bit mask of the pins that you want to set 引脚编号设置
    io_conf.pin_bit_mask = (1ULL<<LED_GPIO);
    //disable pull-down mode 禁用下拉
    io_conf.pull_down_en = 0;
    //disable pull-up mode 禁用上拉
    io_conf.pull_up_en = 0;
    //configure GPIO with the given settings 配置GPIO口
    gpio_config(&io_conf);
    // 关闭LED灯
    Led_Off();
}

Turn on the LED light

xxxxxxxxxx
void Led_On(void)
{
    gpio_set_level(LED_GPIO, LED_ACTIVE_LEVEL);
}

Turn off the LED light

xxxxxxxxxx
void Led_Off(void)
{
    gpio_set_level(LED_GPIO, !LED_ACTIVE_LEVEL);
}

Control the status of the LED light. If the state is passed to 0, the LED light will be off. If the state is passed to 1, the LED light will be on.

xxxxxxxxxx
void Led_State(uint8_t state)
{
    if (state == 0)
    {
        gpio_set_level(LED_GPIO, !LED_ACTIVE_LEVEL);
    }
    else
    {
        gpio_set_level(LED_GPIO, LED_ACTIVE_LEVEL);
    }
}

The LED flashes and needs to be called every 10 milliseconds. interval represents the interval time, the unit is 10ms.

xxxxxxxxxx
void Led_Flash(uint16_t interval)
{
    static uint16_t state = 0;
    static uint16_t count = 0;
    count++;
    if (count >= interval)
    {
        count = 0;
        state = (state + 1) % 2;
        Led_State(state);
    }
}

Call the Led_Init function in app_main, and continue to call the Led_Flash function to make the LED flash.

​x
Led_Init();

while (1)
{
    Led_Flash(50);

    vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10));
}

4. Compile and download the burning firmware

Use a Type-C data cable to connect the virtual machine/computer and the microROS control board. If the system pops up, choose to connect to the virtual machine.

Activate the ESP-IDF development environment. Note that every time you open a new terminal, you need to activate the ESP-IDF development environment before compiling the firmware.

xxxxxxxxxx
source ~/esp/esp-idf/export.sh

Enter the project directory

xxxxxxxxxx
cd ~/esp/Samples/esp32_samples/led

Compile, burn, and open the serial port simulator

xxxxxxxxxx
idf.py build flash monitor

If you need to exit the serial port simulator, press Ctrl+].

5. Experimental results

The serial port simulator prints the greeting "hello yahboom" and the MCU indicator light flashes every 0.5 seconds.
