The Internet of Things ( or IoT) is a network of interconnected computing devices such as digital machines, automobiles with built-in sensors, or humans with unique identifiers and the ability to communicate data over a network without human intervention.
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send sensor readings from ESP32 to the ThingSpeak cloud. Here we will use the ESP32’s internal sensor like hall-effect sensor and temperature sensor to observe the data and then will share that data cloud.

It is an open data platform for IoT (Internet of Things). ThingSpeak is a web service operated by MathWorks where we can send sensor readings/data to the cloud. We can also visualize and act on the data (calculate the data) posted by the devices to ThingSpeak. The data can be stored in either private or public channels.
ThingSpeak is frequently used for internet of things prototyping and proof of concept systems that require analytics.

Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn about the ESP-NOW protocol and how to communicate data between two ESP modules through ESP-NOW protocol and that is too without Wi-Fi connectivity.

Fig. 1: ESP-NOW Protocol
ESP–NOW is a connectionless communication protocol that is used for sharing small data packets between two ESP boards. This protocol is developed by Espressif.
Although, ESP-NOW protocol can communicate only small data packets ( maximum 250 bytes), but it is a high-speed protocol for wireless communication.
ESP devices can communicate over ESP-NOW protocol in different network topologies which makes it a very versatile protocol. The communication can be a point to point or point to multipoint (broadcast).
Fig. 2: Point to Point Communication
In peer-to-peer communication, only two ESP (either ESP32 or ESP8266) devices can connect with each other for data exchange. Each ESP device can act as a master device, a slave device or both master and slave at the same time.
In broadcast one ESP device (known as a broadcaster) act as a master device and broadcast the data to ESP devices acting as slave devices. Data is shared with all the slave devices simultaneously.
This communication method is used when users want to control multiple slave devices at a time.
Fig. 4: Many to One Communication
In many to one communication scenarios, there will be a central node or gateway which collects all the data from its nearby connected ESP devices.
This scenario can be applied when you need to collect sensor data from various sensor nodes to a single collector or central device, which is connected to all the nearby sensors.
MAC address or Media Access Control address is a six-byte hexadecimal address, that is used to track or connect with devices in a network. It provides the user with a secure way to identify senders and receivers in a network and avoid unwanted network access.
Fig. 5: MAC Address
Each ESP device has a unique MAC address.
So, before sharing the data between two or more ESP devices the MAC address of the receiver device should be known to the sender device.
Both, the ESP32 and ESP8266 modules support the ESP-NOW protocol.
In this tutorial, we will connect the ESP32 and ESP8266 using the ESP-NOW protocol.

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 3rd lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensors) in the ESP32 Programming Series. We have already discussed the two built-in ESP32 sensors i.e. Hall Effect Sensor and Capacitive Touch Sensor. Today, we are going to discuss the 3rd and final built-in ESP32 sensor i.e. Internal Temperature Sensor.
ESP32 Internal Temperature Sensor is used to calculate the temperature of the ESP32 core. So, we can't use it to measure the ambient temperature (the temperature of the atmosphere), for that, we need to use embedded temperature sensors i.e. DS18B20, DHT11, BMP280 etc. We will first discuss the basics of this Internal Temperature Sensor and then will design a code to monitor the change in temperature by changing the frequency of the ESP32 CPU.
Note:
Important specs of the ESP32 Temperature Sensor are given in the below table:
| ESP32 Temperature Sensor Features |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Value | |||
| Converter Types | ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) | |||
| Accurate Temperature Sensing Range | -40 °C to 125 °C | |||
| Suitability | Good | |||
| Most Accurate Range | -10 °C to 80 °C | |||

ESP32’s on-chip temperature sensor cannot be used for monitoring external temperature. It can only be used to monitor the temperature of the core. This temperature sensor is available on some selective ESP32 boards and obsolete on most ESP32 variants. It has a high-temperature sensing range of -40 to 125 °C.
ESP32 boards are normally used in real-time IoT Projects i.e. home automation, back security etc. Such projects need to run 24/7 to get live updates and may heat up the motherboard. Thus, to get a stable performance in continuous operations, these internal temperature sensors are introduced to monitor the ESP32 Core.
Most of the modern ESP32 variants are equipped with the Internal Temperature Sensor. I have created a list of the ESP32 boards by taking the ESP-IDF documentation that caters to the built-in temperature sensor. Here's the list:
As you can see, most of the newer versions have a temperature sensor, but some older versions may also have one.
ESP32 temperature sensor consists of 2 converters:
Sigma-delta ADCs are widely favored for their exceptional accuracy and remarkable resolution, enabling them to deliver precise measurements. This ADC takes the analog signal from the temperature sensor, converts it to a digital signal and feeds it to the microcontroller for processing.
The DAC is responsible for the accuracy of the temperature measurements. It is embedded within the ESP32 and converts the digital values(converted by the Sigma-Delta ADC) again into analog values to offset any temperature-induced variation. As a result, it ensures accurate readings from the sensor.
The accuracy of this temperature sensor changes according to the range group of the temperature values. Among different groups, the range of -10 ~ 80 is the most accurate. The reading errors along with their measuring ranges are shown in the below table:
| Measuring Errors in ESP32 Temperature Sensor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. | Offset | Predefined Range (°C) | Error (°C) | Operating Range (°C) |
| 1 | -2 |
50 ~ 125 | < 3 | Not recommended(Error) |
| 2 |
-1 |
20 ~ 100 | < 2 | Ideal range for best accuracy |
| 3 |
0 | -10 ~ 80 | < 1 | Acceptable range with moderate accuracy |
| 4 |
1 |
-30 ~ 50 | < 2 | Usable range with increased error at extremes |
| 5 |
2 |
-40 ~ 20 | < 3 | Not recommended (error) |
Different factors, including voltage fluctuations, noise, environmental factors, and nearby heat sources, can affect the performance and accuracy of this sensor.
Formula to convert observed temperature i.e. Fahrenheit to Celsius:
(F-32) *(5/9) = degree Celsius
Here are the main applications of the ESP32 built-in temperature sensor:
A designer can easily monitor the internal chip’s temperature through the temperature sensor, identify bottleneck conditions, and conduct performance evaluations under extreme circumstances. So, the sensor helps in optimizing the chip's temperature and, thus, the performance.
Electronic components/modules are sensitive, and if they are designed to work for prolonged operation, temperature management is one of the most crucial points to be considered. The built-in temperature sensor is a useful way to measure the operating temperature of the components connected to its peripherals and the whole system. These values are then utilized to set the threshold value so the system can trigger the safety mechanism when a certain heat level is passed. This can be done using the ESP32 code and surely prevent overheating to maintain the performance.
The built-in temperature sensor helps to maintain the energy monitoring that, in turn, allows the energy monitoring of the project. The careful observation of the built-in temperature sensor output helps the user understand the relationship between temperature change and energy consumption. Using this approach, designers can target an optimized energy consumption.

Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we learned SMTP server and how to implement an SMTP server for sending emails with ESP32. In the previous tutorial, we also demonstrated some examples like sharing raw text, HTML text, images and text files.
So, at the transmitter end, we are using the SMTP server.
But, what about the receiver end?
At the receiver end, we use another protocol called IMAP (or Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP3 (Post office Protocol V3) for receiving the emails.

IMAP is an application layer (TCP/IP) protocol that is used at the receiver end to receive emails from SMTP server or mail server. IMAP follows the client/server model.
POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol version 3.
POP3 is another protocol to receive emails. This protocol is used to access the TCP/IP mailbox. The protocol is quite popular due to its offline mail access model.
The offline access model enables the user to access the mails from the mail server on the local machine, and then delete them from the mail server.
Though in some applications POP3 protocol is still used, but in most of the email receivers, it is preferred to use IMAP protocol over POP3 protocol.
Similarly, other email service providers like Outlook and Hotmail, have different setting parameters.
To send emails with ESP32 we need to install this ESP Mail Client library. This library, make ESP32 able to send emails over SMTP server.
Step to install ESP Mail Client Library:
Your Arduino IDE is ready to send email using ESP32.
It is recommended to create a new email account for sending emails using ESP32 or ESP8266 modules.
If you are using your main (personal) email account (for sending emails) with ESP and by mistake, something goes wrong in the ESP code or programming part, your email service provider can ban or disable your main (personal) email account.
In this tutorial, we are using a Gmail account.
Follow the link to create a new Gmail account: https://accounts.google.com
To get access to this new Gmail account, you need to enable Allow less secure apps and this will make you able to send emails. The link is attached below:
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1
Fig.
Fig IMAP and SMTP Example Code
Note: You can not use the exact code. Hence, you need to make some changes like replacing SSID and password with your network credentials, email address of sender and receiver, setting IMAP and SMTP parameters for respective email service providers etc, needs to be done before uploading the code. We will also describe these things during code description.
In this code, we will implement both IMAP and SMTP protocols to receive and transmit emails.
Although, we are using SMTP in this tutorial, but we have already discussed and demonstrated the implementation on SMTP protocol in our previous tutorial. So, in this tutorial we will not explain the SMTP part.
Follow our previous tutorial for detailed study of SMTP implementation in ESP32.

Note:- We have already discussed the SMTP server in our previous tutorial that is Sending Emails with ESP32 using SMTP server. So, follow our previous tutorial for a detailed study on SMTP protocol and send an email using ESP32.
This concludes the tutorial. I hope you found this helpful and also hope to see you soon with a new tutorial on ESP32.
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send an email using ESP32 module. We will also learn to send text files, images or some sensor readings using the SMTP server using the ESP32 module.
In IoT (Internet of things), there are various applications where we need to send emails carrying information like sending some sensor readings, altering emails, images, text files and much more.

SMTP or simple mail transfer protocol is an internet standard for sending and receiving electronic mail (or email) where an SMTP server receives emails from the email client.
SMTP is also used for setting communication between servers.
Various email providers like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. have unique SMTP addresses and port numbers.
SMTP protocol which is also known as a push protocol is used to send emails and IMAP that is Internet Message Access Protocol (or post office protocol or POP) is used to receive emails at the receiver end.
SMTP protocol operates at the application layer of TCP/IP protocol.
When a client wants to send emails, a TCP connection will be open for the SMTP server and emails will be sent across the connection.
SMTP commands:
Gmail is the email service provided by Google and Gmail SMTP server is free to access and anyone can access this service, who has a Gmail account.
Components required to send and receive emails using ESP32 over SMTP server are:
To send emails with ESP32 we need to install this ESP Mail Client library. This library, make ESP32 able to send emails over an SMTP server.
Step to install ESP Mail Client Library:
Your Arduino IDE is ready to send email using ESP32.
It is recommended to create a new email account for sending emails using ESP32 or ESP8266 modules.
If you are using your main (personal) email account (for sending emails) with ESP and by mistake, something goes wrong in the ESP code or programming part, your email service provider can ban or disable your main (personal) email account.
In this tutorial, we are using a Gmail account.
Follow the link to create a new Gmail account: https://accounts.google.com
To get access to this new Gmail account, you need to enable Allow less secure apps and this will make you able to send emails. The link is: https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1

Write the message content (raw text) in the textMsg variable which you want to share over email.
To send HTML text write the respective content in the htmlMsg variable.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to send emails and an error will be printed on the serial monitor.
Arduino IDE code, for sending images and text files using ESP32 and SMTP server:
In this example code, we will demonstrate how to share text files and images through emails using ESP32 over the SMTP server.
But, before sharing attachments (text files or images) you need to save those files on the ESP32 filesystem (SPIFFS).
SPIFFS stands for Serial Peripheral Interface Flash File System, which is built into the ESP32 module. This is a lightweight filesystem designed for microcontrollers with flash chips connected via SPI bus, such as the ESP32 flash memory. In this flash memory, we can write, delete, read, and close files.

Check if the plugin is successfully uploaded or not:

Finally, uploading files using SPIFFS or filesystem upload:

A message “SPIFFS Image Uploaded” will be displayed at the bottom of Arduino IDE, once the SPIFFS image is uploaded successfully.

This concludes the tutorial; I hope you found this helpful and also hope to see you again with a new tutorial on ESP32.
Hello readers, I hope you are all doing great. Welcome to the 2nd lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensors) in the ESP32 Programming Series. In the previous tutorial, we discussed the built-in ESP32 Hall Effect Sensor. In this tutorial, we will discuss another inbuilt sensor of the ESP32 i.e. Capacitive Touch Sensor.
ESP32 Board has 10 built-in capacitive touch pins, which generate an electrical signal when someone touches these pins. These ESP32 touch pins are normally used to wake up the board from deep sleep mode. These touch pins are also used to replace the normal mechanical buttons with touch pads, improving the presentation of the IoT projects.
Here's the video demonstration of the ESP32 Capacitive Touch Sensor:
Before going forward, let's first understand how this touch sensor works:
| Where To Buy? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. | Components | Distributor | Link To Buy | |
| 1 | ESP32 | Amazon | Buy Now | |
Capacitance is determined by the geometry of the conductors and the dielectric materials used. Changing any of these factors will result in changing the capacitance.
C = Ad
As we know, the human body also carries a small electric charge. So, when a body approaches the metallic plates(of a capacitor), the mutual capacitance between the two metal plates decreases. This change in capacitance is used to detect the touch in these capacitive sensors.
So, if someone touches any of these pins, ESP32 can easily detect it. The pin mapping of touch-sensitive pins in DOIT ESP32 DevKit V1 with GPIO pins is shown below:
| ESP32 Capacitive Touch Pins | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. | Parameter Name | Parameter Value | ||
| 1 |
Touch0 | GPIO4 | ||
| 2 |
Touch1 | GPIO0(not available in DOIT ESP32 Dev-kit V1 30-pin module but available in the 36-pin module) | ||

We are using the Arduino IDE development environment for programming ESP32. If you are new to Arduino IDE, read out How to Install ESP32 in Arduino IDE. Let's use the builtin Touch Sensor example in Arduino IDE:
In Arduino IDE there are two example codes available for the ESP32 touch sensor. We will discuss and implement both example codes in this tutorial. So, let's first open the TouchRead Code:
Here's the code for the TouchRead Example:
// ESP32 Touch Test
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(1000); // give me time to bring up serial monitor
Serial.println("ESP32 Touch Test");
}
void loop()
{
Serial.println(touchRead(T0)); // get value using T0
delay(1000);
}Inside the setup() function, the serial monitor is initialized at a baud rate of 115200 to display the sensor readings. Finally, we printed the message(ESP32 Touch Test) on the Serial Monitor:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(1000); // give me time to bring up serial monitor
Serial.println("ESP32 Touch Test");
}void loop()
{
Serial.println(touchRead(T0)); // get value using T0
delay(1000);
}These capacitive touch sensor pins are mainly used to generate an external interrupt for waking up ESP32 from low power modes(deep sleep mode). Moreover, can also be used to control external peripherals like LED blinking or tuning on a DC motor, when a capacitive touch-interrupt is observed. So, let's have a look at How to Generate external interrupt by touching the ESP32 capacitive touch pins:
Here's the ESP32 Touch Interrupt Code:
const int CAPACITIVE_TOUCH_INPUT_PIN = T0; // GPIO pin 4
const int LED_OUTPUT_PIN = LED_BUILTIN;
const int TOUCH_THRESHOLD = 40; // turn on light if touchRead value < this threshold
volatile boolean _touchDetected = false;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, LOW);
touchAttachInterrupt(CAPACITIVE_TOUCH_INPUT_PIN, touchDetected, TOUCH_THRESHOLD);
}
void touchDetected()
{
_touchDetected = true;
}
void loop()
{
if(_touchDetected)
{
Serial.println("Touch detected.");
_touchDetected = false;
Serial.println("blink the LED");
digitalWrite(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
}Let's understand the code by parts:
const int CAPACITIVE_TOUCH_INPUT_PIN = T0; // GPIO pin 4
const int LED_OUTPUT_PIN = LED_BUILTIN;
const int TOUCH_THRESHOLD = 40; // turn on light if touchRead value < this threshold
volatile boolean _touchDetected = false;void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, LOW);
touchAttachInterrupt(CAPACITIVE_TOUCH_INPUT_PIN, touchDetected, TOUCH_THRESHOLD);
}void touchDetected()
{
_touchDetected = true;
}void loop()
{
if(_touchDetected)
{
Serial.println("Touch detected.");
_touchDetected = false;
Serial.println("blink the LED");
digitalWrite(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(LED_OUTPUT_PIN, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
}This concludes the tutorial; I hope you found this helpful and also hope to see you again with a new tutorial on ESP32.
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. Welcome to Section 5 of the ESP32 Programming Series. In this section, we are going to interface different Embedded Sensors with the ESP32 Microcontroller Board. ESP32 development board is featured with some inbuilt sensors(i.e. hall effect sensor, capacitive touch sensor) so, in the initial tutorials of this section, we will explore these built-in ESP32 sensors and in the later lectures, we will interface third-party sensors with the ESP32.
In today's lecture, we will discuss the working/operation of the ESP32 built-in Hall Effect Sensor. Hall Effect sensor is used to detect the variation in the magnetic field of its surroundings. So, let's first understand What's Hall Effect:
| Where To Buy? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. | Components | Distributor | Link To Buy | |
| 1 | ESP32 | Amazon | Buy Now | |
The Hall Effect phenomenon was first discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879. When current passes through a conductor, the electrons move in a straight line and thus the voltage difference across the conductor's surface remains zero, as shown in the below figure:
However, when a magnet is placed near the current-carrying conductor in a way that the direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the flow of current, the electrons get diverted and don't follow a straight line, which results in generating a small potential difference across the conductor's surface, as shown in the below figure:
This small potential difference generated because of magnetic field presence is called Hall Voltage. This magnetic field influence over the current-carrying conductor is termed the Hall Effect.
A Hall Effect Sensor is a non-contact type embedded sensor, used to detect the presence & intensity of a magnetic field in its surroundings. Different third-party Hall Effect Sensors available in the market are shown in the below figure:
In ESP32, the Hall effect sensor is located inside the ESP-WROOM-32 metallic cover. As the Hall Effect sensor is a non-contact type, it doesn't have to be in contact with the magnet. We just need to place the magnet above this metallic sheet and the ESP32 Hall Effect sensor will detect it.
To understand the working of the Hall sensor with ESP32, let's test the builtin ESP32 example:
Here's the code for this ESP32 Hall Sensor example:
int val = 0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin (9600);
}
void loop()
{
val = hallRead();
Serial.print ("sensor value = ");
Serial.println (val);//to graph
delay(100);
}The code is quite simple, where the hallRead() function is called to read the hall sensor value, store it into a variable and then print it on the Serial monitor. Finally added a small delay to get the next value. Let me explain the code line by line for the beginners:
int val = 0;void setup()
{
Serial.begin (9600);
}void loop()
{
val = hallRead();
Serial.print ("sensor value = ");
Serial.println (val);//to graph
delay(100);
}This concludes the tutorial. I hope you found this helpful, test it out and if feel any difficulty, let me know in the comments. In the next tutorial, we will have a look at another built-in sensor of ESP32 i.e. Capacitive Touch Sensor. Thanks for reading.
Hello readers, I hope you are all doing great. In this tutorial, we are going to discuss the OTA web updater on the ESP32.
We already covered the fundamentals of OTA programming in ESP32, in our previous tutorial where we used the Arduino IDE to upload OTA code into the ESP32 module using the network port.
In the OTA web updater, you need to create a web server page for OTA programming.

Fig. 2 OTA programming for IoT
There are two methods of OTA implementation.
In this tutorial, we will discuss only the basic OTA method using Arduino IDE and ESP32 module.
If you want to know more about the basics of ESP32 and how to get started with Arduino IDE, then follow the tutorial Introduction to ESP32 Programming Series.
To implement the Basic OTA method, an example is available is Arduino IDE.
#include <WiFi.h> #include <ESPmDNS.h> #include <WiFiUdp.h> #include <ArduinoOTA.h> const char* ssid = "SSID"; const char* password = "Password"; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("Booting"); WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); WiFi.begin(ssid, password); while (WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED) { Serial.println("Connection Failed! Rebooting..."); delay(5000); ESP.restart(); } ArduinoOTA.onStart([]() { String type; if (ArduinoOTA.getCommand() == U_FLASH) type = "sketch"; else // U_SPIFFS type = "filesystem"; // NOTE: if updating SPIFFS this would be the place to unmount SPIFFS using SPIFFS.end() Serial.println("Start updating " + type); }) .onEnd([]() { Serial.println("\nEnd"); }) .onProgress([](unsigned int progress, unsigned int total) { Serial.printf("Progress: %u%%\r", (progress / (total / 100))); }) .onError([](ota_error_t error) { Serial.printf("Error[%u]: ", error); if (error == OTA_AUTH_ERROR) Serial.println("Auth Failed"); else if (error == OTA_BEGIN_ERROR) Serial.println("Begin Failed"); else if (error == OTA_CONNECT_ERROR) Serial.println("Connect Failed"); else if (error == OTA_RECEIVE_ERROR) Serial.println("Receive Failed"); else if (error == OTA_END_ERROR) Serial.println("End Failed"); }); ArduinoOTA.begin(); Serial.println("Ready"); Serial.print("IP address: "); Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); } void loop() { ArduinoOTA.handle(); }

Note: It is required to upload the OTA programming handler code every time you upload a new code into ESP32 over the air. So that, OTA programming remains enabled for future use.
This concludes the tutorial. I hope you found this helpful. In the next tutorial, we will discuss the OTA web updater in ESP32.
Hello readers, hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will discuss low power modes in ESP32, their purpose and their implementation to increase the battery life by reducing power consumption.

Along with multiple wireless and processing features, ESP32 also provides us with a power-saving feature by offering sleep modes. When you are powering the ESP32 module from the live supply using an adaptor or a USB cable, there is nothing to worry about power consumption. But when you are using a battery, as a power source to ESP32, you need to manage the power consumption for longer battery life.
When ESP32 is in sleep mode, a small amount of power is required to maintain the state of ESP32 in RAM (random access memory) and retain necessary data. Meanwhile, the power supply won’t be consumed by any unnecessary peripheral or inbuilt modules like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
ESP32 offers 5 power modes. Each mode is configurable and offers different power-saving capabilities:
Fig. 2
Fig 3
For a better understanding of low power modes in ESP32, we are going to implement deep sleep mode in esp32 and will also discuss how to wake up the device from deep sleep mode.
To implement deep sleep modes we are going to use another ESP32 feature that is Capacitive Touch Sensing pins. These pins can sense the presence of a body that holds an electric charge.
So we are going to use these touch-sensitive pins for waking up ESP32 from deep sleep mode using the Arduino IDE compiler.
In Arduino IDE examples are given for deep sleep mode with various wake-up methods.
#define Threshold 40 /* Greater the value, more the sensitivity */ RTC_DATA_ATTR int bootCount = 0; touch_pad_t touchPin; /* Method to print the reason by which ESP32 has been awaken from sleep */ void print_wakeup_reason(){ esp_sleep_wakeup_cause_t wakeup_reason; wakeup_reason = esp_sleep_get_wakeup_cause(); switch(wakeup_reason) { case ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_EXT0 : Serial.println("Wakeup caused by external signal using RTC_IO"); break; case ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_EXT1 : Serial.println("Wakeup caused by external signal using RTC_CNTL"); break; case ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_TIMER : Serial.println("Wakeup caused by timer"); break; case ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_TOUCHPAD : Serial.println("Wakeup caused by touchpad"); break; case ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_ULP : Serial.println("Wakeup caused by ULP program"); break; default : Serial.printf("Wakeup was not caused by deep sleep: %d\n",wakeup_reason); break; } } /* Method to print the touchpad by which ESP32 has been awaken from sleep */ void print_wakeup_touchpad(){ touchPin = esp_sleep_get_touchpad_wakeup_status(); switch(touchPin) { case 0 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 4"); break; case 1 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 0"); break; case 2 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 2"); break; case 3 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 15"); break; case 4 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 13"); break; case 5 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 12"); break; case 6 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 14"); break; case 7 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 27"); break; case 8 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 33"); break; case 9 : Serial.println("Touch detected on GPIO 32"); break; default : Serial.println("Wakeup not by touchpad"); break; } } void callback(){ //placeholder callback function } 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 and touchpad too print_wakeup_reason(); print_wakeup_touchpad(); //Setup interrupt on Touch Pad 3 (GPIO15) touchAttachInterrupt(T3, callback, Threshold); //Configure Touchpad as wakeup source esp_sleep_enable_touchpad_wakeup(); //Go to sleep now Serial.println("Going to sleep now"); esp_deep_sleep_start(); Serial.println("This will never be printed"); } void loop(){ //This will never be reached }
