ESP32 – blinky with delay function

This blinky project shows how to interface LED to the ESP32 and write a simple program to make the LED blink. The full code is on Github, click here.

Parts List

• ESP-WROOM-32 module
• USB<->TTL converter (3.3.V)
• Efficient power supply (3.3V)
• R1 – resistor 560Ω, see LED Resistor Calculator
• LED1 – basic LED
