ESP32 LEDC Output
|
||
=================
|

.. seo::
|
||
:description: Instructions for setting up LEDC hardware PWM outputs on the ESP32.
|
||
:image: pwm.png
|
||
|
||
The LEDC output component exposes a `LEDC PWM
|
||
channel <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/ledc.html>`__
|
||
of the ESP32 as an output component.
|
||
|
||
The frequency range of LEDC is from 10Hz to 40MHz - however, higher frequencies require a smaller
|
||
bit depth which means the output is not that accurate for frequencies above ~300kHz.
|
||
|
||
Example Usage For a Light
|
||
*************************
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
# Example configuration entry
|
||
output:
|
||
- platform: ledc
|
||
pin: GPIO19
|
||
id: gpio_19
|
||
|
||
# Example usage in a light
|
||
light:
|
||
- platform: monochromatic
|
||
output: gpio_19
|
||
name: "Kitchen Light"
|
||
|
||
Example Usage For a Piezo Buzzer

********************************
|

|
||
|

# Configure the output
|
||
output:
|

- platform: ledc

Configuration variables:
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin to use LEDC on. Can only be GPIO0-GPIO33.
|
||
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this output component.
|
||
- **frequency** (*Optional*, float): At which frequency to run the LEDC
|
||
channel’s timer. Defaults to 1000Hz.
|
||
- All other options from :ref:`Output <config-output>`.
|
||
|
||
Advanced options:
|
||
|
||
- **channel** (*Optional*, int): Manually set the `LEDC
|
||
channel <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/ledc.html#configure-channel>`__
|
||
to use. Two adjacent channels share the same timer. Defaults to an automatic selection.
|
||
|
||
Recommended frequencies
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
To get the highest available frequency while still getting the same bit depth it is
|
||
recommended to pick one of the following frequencies.
|
||
|
||
Higher bit depth means that the light has more steps available to change from one
|
||
value to another. This is especially noticeable when the light is below 10% and takes
|
||
a long transition, e.g. turning slowly off.
|
||
|
||

**Frequency** **Bit depth** **Available steps for transitions**

The ESP8266 for instance has *usually* a frequency of 1000Hz with a resolution of 10 bits.
|
||
This means that there are only 4 steps between each value.
|
||
|
||
.. _output-ledc-set_frequency_action:
|
||
|
||
``output.ledc.set_frequency`` Action
|
||
------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` allows you to manually change the frequency of an LEDC
|
||
channel at runtime. Use cases include controlling a passive buzzer (for pitch control).
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
on_...:
|
||
- output.ledc.set_frequency:
|
||
id: ledc_output
|
||
frequency: 100Hz
|
||
|
||
Configuration variables:
|
||
|
||
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the LEDC output to change.
|
||
- **frequency** (**Required**, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`, float): The frequency
|
||
to set in hertz.
