ESP32 - Working with NodeMCU board

This post is about how to work with ESP32 NodeMCU Module.

ESP-32S NodeMCU V1.1 Pinout


Source: https://www.shenzhen2u.com/NodeMCU-32S

Schematic

Wire up the ESP32 NodeMCU Module, the LED and the Resistor as shown below. The resistor and LED are connected to GPIO 0. The module will be powered via the USB cable connected to the USB port of the computer running the Arduino IDE.


The 5V running on the breadboard is from the USB port.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(0, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(0, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(0, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

Upload the sketch to the module

In Arduino IDE, set the parameters in the red square as shown below then click the upload botton.

Result

The LED is blinking steadily at 1 second interval.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power the NodeMCU module via external 5V source

- Remove the USB cable.
- Connect an external DC 5V source to the VIN 5V pin of the module and the GND of the external source to the GND pin of the module.
- The LED should blink steadily at 1 second interval.

Note, Be sure to measure the voltage level of the external power source before connecting it to the module.

Alternatively, the module could be powered by external 3.3V source by feeding it to the VIN 3.3V pin.
