LED Peripheral

Blink or fade a LED connected to a GPIO with configurable On and Off times.

Application Examples

Implementation of this API is demonstrated in couple of examples:

API Reference

Functions

esp_periph_handle_t periph_led_init(periph_led_cfg_t *config)

Create the LED peripheral handle for esp_peripherals.

Note
The handle was created by this function automatically destroy when esp_periph_destroy is called
Return
The esp peripheral handle
Parameters
  • config: The configuration

esp_err_t periph_led_blink(esp_periph_handle_t periph, int gpio_num, int time_on_ms, int time_off_ms, bool fade, int loop)

Bink LED Peripheral, this function will automatically configure the gpio_num to control the LED, with time_on_ms as the time (in milliseconds) switch from OFF to ON (or ON if fade is disabled), and time_off_ms as the time (in milliseconds) switch from ON to OFF (or OFF if fade is disabled). When switching from ON -> OFF and vice versa, the loop decreases once, and will turn off the effect when the loop is 0. With a loop value less than 0, the LED effect will loop endlessly. PERIPH_LED_BLINK_FINISH events will be sent at each end of loop.

Return
  • ESP_OK
  • ESP_FAIL
Parameters
  • periph: The LED periph
  • gpio_num: The gpio number
  • time_on_ms: The time on milliseconds
  • time_off_ms: The time off milliseconds
  • fade: Fading enabled
  • loop: Loop

esp_err_t periph_led_stop(esp_periph_handle_t periph, int gpio_num)

Stop Blink the LED.

Return
  • ESP_OK
  • ESP_FAIL
Parameters
  • periph: The periph
  • gpio_num: The gpio number
