Bus SPI
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | GND | |
| VCC | Power | 3V3 | 3.3 V only. Never 5 V |
| GDO0 | Interrupt | D35 | Configurable output (packet received / sent) |
| CSN | SPI chip select | D5 | SPI chip select |
| SCK | SPI clock | D18 | |
| MOSI | SPI MOSI | D23 | |
| MISO | SPI MISO | D19 | Also GDO1 |
| GDO2 | Interrupt | VP | Configurable output, optional |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
