Bus GPIO
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | GND | Pin order varies between boards: match by the printed label. |
| DIN | Input (the ESP32 drives it) | D25 | Data in. Add a 330 Ω resistor |
| 5VDC | Power | VIN | 4 to 7 V per the maker. At 3V3 it often works dimmer |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
This module is sold for 5 V. Its outputs may be 5 V: use a level shifter or a voltage divider on ESP32 inputs.
Starter code (Arduino)
void setup() { pinMode(25, OUTPUT); } // DIN
void loop() {
digitalWrite(25, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(25, LOW);
delay(500);
