# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## Overview

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/619/medium800/feather_3405_iso_ORIG.jpg?1494445509)

Aww yeah, it's the Feather you have been waiting for! The HUZZAH32 is our ESP32-based Feather, made with the official WROOM32 module. We packed everything you love about Feathers: built in USB-to-Serial converter, automatic bootloader reset, Lithium Ion/Polymer charger, and all the GPIO brought out so you can use it with any of our Feather Wings.

That module nestled in at the end of this Feather contains a dual-core ESP32 chip, 4 MB of SPI Flash, tuned antenna, and all the passives you need to take advantage of this powerful new processor. The ESP32 has both WiFi _and_ Bluetooth Classic/LE support. That means it's perfect for just about any wireless or Internet-connected project.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/621/medium800/feather_3405_quarter_ORIG.jpg?1494445537)

Because it is part of our [Feather eco-system you can take advantage of the 50+ Wings](https://www.adafruit.com/category/814) that we've designed, to add all sorts of cool accessories

The ESP32 is a perfect upgrade from the ESP8266 that has been so popular. In comparison, the ESP32 has way more GPIO, plenty of analog inputs, two analog outputs, multiple extra peripherals (like a spare UART), two cores so you don't have to yield to the WiFi manager, much higher-speed processor, etc. etc! We think that as the ESP32 gets traction, we'll see more people move to this chip exclusively, as it is so full-featured.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/620/medium800/feather_3405_kit_ORIG.jpg?1494445526)

 **Please note: The ESP32 is still targeted to developers**. Not all of the peripherals are fully documented with example code, and there are some bugs still being found and fixed. We got all of our Featherwings working under Arduino IDE, so you can expect things like I2C and SPI and analog reads to work. But other elements are still under development. For that reason, we recommend this Feather for makers who have some experience with microcontroller programming, and not as a first dev board.

## Pinouts

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/133/601/medium800/wireless_Adafruit_HUZZAH32_ESP32_Feather_Pinout.png?1731518773)

[Click here to view a PDF version of the pinout diagram](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-HUZZAH32-ESP32-Feather-PCB/blob/master/Adafruit%20HUZZAH32%20ESP32%20Feather%20Pinout.pdf)

One of the great things about the ESP32 is that it has tons more GPIO than the ESP8266. You _won't_ have to juggle or multiplex your IO pins! There's a few things to watch out for so please read through the pinouts carefully

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/623/medium800/feather_pinouttop.jpg?1494445721)

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/624/medium800/feather_pinoutbot.jpg?1494445728)

# Power Pins
![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/625/medium800/feather_powerpins.jpg?1494446251)

- **GND** - this is the common ground for all power and logic
- **BAT** - this is the positive voltage to/from the JST jack for the optional Lipoly battery
- **USB** - this is the positive voltage to/from the micro USB jack if connected
- **EN** - this is the 3.3V regulator's enable pin. It's pulled up, so connect to ground to disable the 3.3V regulator
- **3V** - this is the output from the 3.3V regulator. The regulator can supply 500mA peak but half of that is drawn by the ESP32, and it's a fairly power-hungry chip. So if you need a ton of power for stuff like LEDs, motors, etc. Use the **USB** or **BAT** pins, and an additional regulator

# Logic pins

This is the general purpose I/O pin set for the microcontroller. All logic is 3.3V

Warning: 

# Serial pins

**RX** and **TX** are the additional Serial1 pins, and are _not_ connected to the USB/Serial converter. That means you can use them to connect to UART-devices like GPS's, fingerprint sensors, etc.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/626/medium800/feather_rxtx.jpg?1494446372)

The **TX** pin is the output _from_ the module. The **RX** pin is the input _into_ the module. Both are 3.3V logic

# I2C & SPI pins

You can use the ESP32 to control I2C and SPI devices, sensors, outputs, etc. If using with Arduino, the standard **Wire** and **SPI** devices work as you'd expect!

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/627/medium800/feather_i2cspi.jpg?1494446471)

Note that the I2C pins **do not have pullup resistors** already! You must add them if you want to communicate with an I2C device

# GPIO & Analog Pins
![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/041/628/medium800/feather_gpio.jpg?1494448163)

There are tons of GPIO and analog inputs available to you for connecting LEDs, buttons, switches, sensors, etc. Here's the remaining pins available.

Bottom row:

- **A0** - this is an analog input A0 and also an analog output DAC2. It can also be used as a GPIO #26. It uses ADC #2
- **A1** - this is an analog input A1 and also an analog output DAC1. It can also be used as a GPIO #25. It uses ADC #2
- **A2** - this is an analog input A2 and also GPIO #34. Note it is _not_ an output-capable pin! It uses ADC #1
- **A3** - this is an analog input A3 and also GPIO #39. Note it is _not_ an output-capable pin! It uses ADC #1
- **A4** - this is an analog input A4 and also GPIO #36. Note it is _not_ an output-capable pin! It uses ADC #1
- **A5** - this is an analog input A5 and also GPIO #4. It uses ADC #2
- **21** - General purpose IO pin #21

Top row:

- **13** - This is GPIO #13 and also an analog input A12 on ADC #2. It's also connected to the red LED next to the USB port
- **12** - This is GPIO #12 and also an analog input A11 on ADC #2. This pin has a pull-down resistor built into it, we recommend using it as an output only, or making sure that the pull-down is not affected during boot.
- **27** - This is GPIO #27 and also an analog input A10 on ADC #2
- **33** - This is GPIO #33 and also an analog input A9 on ADC #1. It can also be used to connect a 32 KHz crystal.
- **15** - This is GPIO #15 and also an analog input A8 on ADC #2
- **32** - This is GPIO #32 and also an analog input A7 on ADC #1. It can also be used to connect a 32 KHz crystal.
- **14** - This is GPIO #14 and also an analog input A6 on ADC #2

There's also an external analog input

- **A13** - This is general purpose input #35 and also an analog input A13, which is a resistor divider connected to the **VBAT** line

Note you cannot read analog inputs on **ADC #2** once WiFi has started as it is shared with the WiFi module.

Warning: See the page ESP32 F.A.Q on limits to use of certain pins while WiFi is on.

Info: Per the datasheet (linked in Downloads), the maximum current output from each output pin is 1.1 mA.

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## Assembly

We ship Feathers fully tested but without headers attached - this gives you the most flexibility on choosing how to use and configure your Feather

# Header Options!

Before you go gung-ho on soldering, there's a few options to consider!

The first option is soldering in plain male headers, this lets you plug in the Feather into a solderless breadboard

![feather_3010-05.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/192/medium640/feather_3010-05.jpg?1454100293)

![feather_3010-01.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/201/medium640/feather_3010-01.jpg?1454100690)

Another option is to go with socket female headers. This won't let you plug the Feather into a breadboard but it will let you attach featherwings very easily

A few Feather boards require access to top-side components like buttons or connectors, making stacking impractical. Sometimes you can stack in the opposite order—FeatherWing underneath—or, if _both_ Feather and Wing require top-side access,&nbsp;place the boards side-by-side with a [FeatherWing Doubler](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2890) or [Tripler](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3417).

![feather_2886-01.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/195/medium640/feather_2886-01.jpg?1454100431)

![feather_2886-02.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/196/medium640/feather_2886-02.jpg?1454100477)

![adafruit_products_2890-02.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/300/medium640/adafruit_products_2890-02.jpg?1672855047)

We also&nbsp; have 'slim' versions of the female headers, that are a little shorter and give a more compact shape

![feather_2940-01.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/197/medium640/feather_2940-01.jpg?1454100533)

![feather_2940-04.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/198/medium640/feather_2940-04.jpg?1454100544)

Finally, there's the "Stacking Header" option. This one is sort of the best-of-both-worlds. You get the ability to plug into a solderless breadboard _and_ plug a featherwing on top. But its a little bulky

![feather_2830-01.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/199/medium640/feather_2830-01.jpg?1454100588)

![feather_2830-00.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/200/medium640/feather_2830-00.jpg?1454100660)

# Soldering in Plain Headers
## Prepare the header strip:

Cut the strip to length if necessary. It will be easier to solder if you insert it into a breadboard - **long pins down**

![feather_headers.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/183/medium640/feather_headers.jpg?1454099573)

## Add the breakout board:

Place the breakout board over the pins so that the short pins poke through the breakout pads

## And Solder!

Be sure to solder all pins for reliable electrical contact.

# Soldering on Female Header
## Tape In Place

For sockets you'll want to tape them in place so when you flip over the board they don't fall out

![feather_taped.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/030/203/medium640/feather_taped.jpg?1454101091)

## Flip & Tack Solder

After flipping over, solder one or two points on each strip, to 'tack' the header in place

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## Power Management

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/113/530/medium800/wireless_feather_3405_iso_demo_ORIG.jpg?1658859963)

# Battery + USB Power

We wanted to make our Feather boards easy to power both when connected to a computer as well as via battery.

There's **two ways to power** a Feather:

1. You can connect with a USB cable (just plug into the jack) and the Feather will regulate the 5V USB down to 3.3V.
2. You can also connect a 4.2/3.7V Lithium Polymer (LiPo/LiPoly) or Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery to the JST jack. This will let the Feather run on a rechargeable battery.

**When the USB power is powered, it will automatically switch over to USB for power, as well as start charging the battery (if attached).** This happens 'hot-swap' style so you can always keep the LiPoly connected as a 'backup' power that will only get used when USB power is lost.

Danger: 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/113/531/medium800/wireless_feather_HUZZAH32_charge.jpg?1658860008)

The above shows the Micro USB jack (left), LiPoly JST jack (top left), as well as the 3.3V regulator (to the right of the JST jack), changeover diode+transistor (below the JST jack) and the LiPoly charging circuitry (right below the regulator).

There's also a **CHG** LED next to the USB jack, which will light up while the battery is charging. This LED might also flicker if the battery is not connected, it's normal.

Info: 

# Power Supplies

You have a lot of power supply options here! We bring out the **BAT** pin, which is tied to the LiPoly JST connector, as well as **USB** which is the +5V from USB if connected. We also have the **3V** pin which has the output from the 3.3V regulator. We use a 500mA peak regulator. While you can get 500mA from it, you can't do it continuously from 5V as it will overheat the regulator.

Please budget 250mA for the WROOM32 module. We use this to power the ESP32 which draws about 200mA continuous. The good news is you can put the ESP32 into sleep and low-power modes much easier.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/113/532/medium800/wireless_feather_HUZZAH32_powerpins.jpg?1658860079)

# Measuring Battery

If you're running off of a battery, chances are you wanna know what the voltage is at! That way you can tell when the battery needs recharging. LiPoly batteries are 'maxed out' at 4.2V and stick around 3.7V for much of the battery life, then slowly sink down to 3.2V or so before the protection circuitry cuts it off. By measuring the voltage you can quickly tell when you're heading below 3.7V.

Since the ESP32 has tons of ADC pins, we 'sacrifice' one for Lipoly battery monitoring. You can read half of the battery voltage off of&nbsp; **A13 also known as GPIO 35**. Don't forget to double the voltage you read, since there is a divider.&nbsp;

Note this pin is&nbsp;_not_ the same as the D13 available as a pin on the header: the ADC is 'internal' to the board and not exposed.

# ENable pin

If you'd like to turn off the 3.3V regulator, you can do that with the **EN** (able) pin. Simply tie this pin to **Ground** and it will disable the 3V regulator. The **BAT** and **USB** pins will still be powered.

This will turn off the ESP32 processor as well as all onboard circuitry except the USB-Serial converter.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/113/534/medium800/wireless_feather_HUZZAH32_en.jpg?1658860275)

# Alternative Power Options

The two primary ways for powering a feather are a 3.7/4.2V LiPo battery plugged into the JST port _or_ a USB power cable.

If you need other ways to power the Feather, here's what we recommend:

- For permanent installations, a [5V 1A USB wall adapter](https://www.adafruit.com/product/501) will let you plug in a USB cable for reliable power
- For mobile use, where you don't want a LiPoly, [use a USB battery pack!](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1959)
- If you have a higher voltage power supply, [use a 5V buck converter](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=5V%20buck) and wire it to a [USB cable's 5V and GND input](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3972)

Here's what you cannot do:

- **Do not use alkaline or NiMH batteries** and connect to the battery port - this will destroy the LiPoly charger
- **Do not use 7.4V RC batteries on the battery port** - this will destroy the board

The Feather _is not designed for external power supplies_ - this is a design decision to make the board compact and low cost. It is not recommended, but technically possible:

- **Connect an external 3.3V power supply to the 3V and GND pins.** Not recommended, this may cause unexpected behavior and the **EN** pin will no longer work. Also this doesn't provide power on **BAT** or **USB** and some Feathers/Wings use those pins for high current usages. You may end up damaging your Feather.
- **Connect an external 5V power supply to the USB and GND pins.** Not recommended, this may cause unexpected behavior when plugging in the USB port because you will be back-powering the USB port, which _could_ confuse or damage your computer.

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## CircuitPython

[CircuitPython](https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython) is a derivative of [MicroPython](https://micropython.org) designed to simplify experimentation and education on low-cost microcontrollers. It makes it easier than ever to get prototyping by requiring no upfront desktop software downloads. ESP32 CircuitPython firmware is uploaded to the board via the USB serial port.

Follow this step-by-step to get CircuitPython running on your board.

## Driver Install

If this is your first time using an ESP32 board on Windows or MacOS, you may need to install the USB to serial drivers. There are two options for the USB to serial chipset on your board. If you are unsure which one you have, install both drivers.

For instructions and more information regarding the CH9102F chip and driver install, please visit the [How To Install Drivers for WCH USB to Serial Chips guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-install-drivers-for-wch-usb-to-serial-chips).

For driver downloads for the CP2104 and CP2012N, please visit the [Silicon Labs Downloads page](https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads).

For those running Linux, the drivers are already included.

## CircuitPython Download
[Download the latest version of CircuitPython for this board via circuitpython.org](https://circuitpython.org/board/adafruit_feather_huzzah32/)
 **Click the link above to download the latest CircuitPython .bin file.**

Save it wherever is convenient for you.

![install_circuitpython_on_esp32_ESP32_CircuitPython_bin_downloaded.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/114/559/medium640/install_circuitpython_on_esp32_ESP32_CircuitPython_bin_downloaded.png?1661800263)

## Connecting to the Web Flasher

To begin,&nbsp; **plug your board into your computer via USB, using** &nbsp; **a known-good data-sync cable** , directly, or via an adapter if needed.

**You will have to use Firefox 151 or later, Chrome or a Chromium-based browser to install CircuitPython.** &nbsp;[For example, Edge and Opera are Chromium based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)).

Safari and some other browsers etc. are&nbsp;_not_&nbsp;supported -&nbsp;[they have not implemented Web Serial](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Serial#browser_compatibility)!

In the&nbsp; **Chrome browser** &nbsp;visit&nbsp;[https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit\_WebSerial\_ESPTool/](https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_WebSerial_ESPTool/)

The main page of the ESP Web Flasher should look something like this.

Note: The site now displays an alert that it is no longer maintained, and suggests using a different option. The ESP Web Flasher has still proven to be more consistent and easier to use, so it is highly suggested that you continue with this version.

![install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_web_flasher_main_page.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/114/594/medium640/install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_web_flasher_main_page.png?1661892930)

 **You should remove all other USB devices so**  **_only_ the target board is attached.** This eliminates confusion over multiple ports!

Press the&nbsp; **Connect** button in the top right of the web browser. You will get a pop up asking you to select the COM or Serial port. Look for **USB Single Serial**.

On some systems, such as MacOS, there may be additional system ports that appear in the list (as shown in the image).

![install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_connect_and_ports.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/114/595/medium640/install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_connect_and_ports.png?1661893121)

The Javascript code will now try to connect to the board. It may timeout for a bit until it succeeds. On success, you will see that it is **Connected** &nbsp;and will print out a unique&nbsp; **MAC address** identifying the board along with other information that was detected.

![install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_flasher_connection_success.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/114/596/medium640/install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_flasher_connection_success.png?1661893862)

Once you have successfully connected, the command toolbar will appear.

![install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_command_tool_bar.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/114/597/medium640/install_circuitpython_on_esp32_with_boot_button_ESPCP_command_tool_bar.png?1661893964)

## Erasing the Board Contents

If you would like to erase the entire flash area so that you can start with a clean slate, you can use the erase feature. We recommend doing this every time before installing or updating CircuitPython.

To erase the contents, click the **Erase** button. You will be prompted as to whether you want to continue. Click **OK** to continue. If you do not wish to continue, click Cancel.

As the ESP32 does not have native USB, no USB drive will show up on your computer when you reset. With CircuitPython firmware loaded, the REPL can be accessed over a serial/COM port.

For more details on installation, how to configure your ESP32, and info on getting started with CircuitPython on your ESP32 using the Web Workflow, check out the [CircuitPython on ESP32 Quick Start guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-with-esp32-quick-start).

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## Using with Arduino IDE

We primarily recommend using the ESP32 Feather with Arduino.

[Check out the Espressif Arduino repository for details on how to install it](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32#using-through-arduino-ide)

Don't forget you will also need to install the SiLabs CP2104 Driver on Windows. Linux, and macOS 10.15 and later [include a built-in](https://adafruit-playground.com/u/danhalbert/pages/macos-built-in-support-for-usb-serial-chips) CP2104 driver.

[Click here to download the CP2104 USB Driver](http://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers)
Once installed, use the **Adafruit ESP32 Feather** board in the dropdown

For **Upload speed** we've found **921600** baud works great.

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## WipperSnapper Setup

Warning: 

Danger: The Feather ESP32 Huzzah32 V1 (USB Micro-B socket) doesn't like using esptool with serial port baud rates above 115200bps, and the installer defaults to trying higher speeds. 

 As a result you will need to download the offline bin file when offered, then use an offline version of esptool, or the official web-serial esptool (esptool-js which requires a chromium based browser like Chrome/Edge or Opera) to flash the board. URL: [https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/](https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/)

 Use the connect button in the Program section of the page after selecting the correct baud rate (speed - 115200), then select the file browse button and point to the combined.bin (extracted from inside the compressed zip file), and update the flash memory address to 0x0 (instead of the default 0x1000 on the page), then click program. You may need to come back and use the Erase button before programming if you experience weird issues later running WipperSnapper.

## What is WipperSnapper

WipperSnapper is a firmware designed to turn any WiFi-capable board into an Internet-of-Things device without programming a single line of code. WipperSnapper connects to [Adafruit IO](https://io.adafruit.com/), a web&nbsp;platform designed ([by Adafruit!](https://www.adafruit.com/about)) to&nbsp;_display_,&nbsp;_respond_, and&nbsp;_interact_&nbsp;with your project's data.

Simply load the WipperSnapper firmware onto your board, add credentials, and plug it into power. Your board will automatically register itself with your Adafruit IO account.

From there, you can add&nbsp;_components_&nbsp;to your board such as buttons, switches, potentiometers, sensors, and more! Components are&nbsp;_dynamically&nbsp;_added to hardware, so you can&nbsp;immediately start interacting, logging, and streaming the data your projects produce without writing code.

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## LED Blink

Info: This demo shows controlling an LED from Adafruit IO. The same kind of control can be used for relays, lights, motors, or solenoids.

One of the first programs you typically write to get used to embedded programming is a sketch that repeatably blinks an LED. IoT projects are&nbsp;_wireless,_&nbsp;so after completing this section, you'll be able to turn on (or off) the LED built into your board from anywhere in the world.

## Where is the LED on my board?
The Adafruit HUZZAH 32's LED (highlighted in red) is located next to the micro-USB connector.

![wireless_esp32-led.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/118/015/medium640/wireless_esp32-led.png?1675283671)

### Filtering and searching for components

Since WipperSnapper supports such a large number of components, there is keyword filtering. Try searching for various keywords, like:

- component names:&nbsp;`aht20`,&nbsp;`servo`,&nbsp;`buzzer`,&nbsp;`button`, `led`, etc
- sensor types:&nbsp;`light`,&nbsp;`temperature`,&nbsp;`pressure`,&nbsp;`humidity`, etc
- interface:&nbsp;`i2c`,&nbsp;`uart`,&nbsp;`ds18x20`,&nbsp;`pin`, etc (also I2C addresses e.g.&nbsp;`0x44`)
- vendor:&nbsp;`Adafruit`,&nbsp;`ASAIR`,&nbsp;`Infineon`,&nbsp;`Bosch`,&nbsp;`Honeywell`,&nbsp;`Sensirion`, etc

There are also product and documentation links to every component. Follow the links beneath the component descriptions to be taken to the appropriate product page or Learn Guide

Select the **LED** from the list of components.

![led_blink_LED_select.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/127/429/medium640/led_blink_LED_select.png?1706755753)

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## Analog Input

Your microcontroller board has both digital and analog signal capabilities. Some pins are analog, some are digital, and some are capable of both. Check the **Pinouts** page in this guide for details about your board.

Analog signals are different from digital signals in that they can be _any_ voltage and can vary continuously and smoothly between voltages. An analog signal is like a dimmer switch on a light, whereas a digital signal is like a simple on/off switch.&nbsp;

Digital signals only can ever have two states, they are either are **on** (high logic level voltage like 3.3V) or **off** (low logic level voltage like 0V / ground).

By contrast, analog signals can be any voltage in-between on and off, such as 1.8V or 0.001V or 2.98V and so on.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/102/411/medium800/analog_in_Analog_Template_analog.jpg?1622144011)

Analog signals are continuous values which means they can be an _infinite_ number of different voltages. Think of analog signals like a floating point or fractional number, they can smoothly transiting to _any_ in-between value like 1.8V, 1.81V, 1.801V, 1.8001V, 1.80001V and so forth to infinity.

Many devices use analog signals, in particular sensors typically output an analog signal or voltage that varies based on something being sensed like light, heat, humidity, etc.

## Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)

An analog-to-digital-converter, or ADC, is the key to reading analog signals and voltages with a microcontroller. An ADC is a device that reads the voltage of an analog signal and converts it into a digital, or numeric, value. The microcontroller can’t read analog signals directly, so the analog signal is first converted into a numeric value by the ADC.&nbsp;

The black line below shows a digital signal over time, and the red line shows the converted analog signal over the same amount of time.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/102/412/medium800/analog_in_Analog_Template_ADC.jpg?1622144080)

Once that analog signal has been converted by the ADC, the microcontroller can use those digital values any way you like!

## Potentiometers

A potentiometer is a small variable resistor that you can twist a knob or shaft to change its resistance. It has three pins. By twisting the knob on the potentiometer you can change the resistance of the middle pin (called the wiper) to be anywhere within the range of resistance of the potentiometer.

By wiring the potentiometer to your board in a special way (called a voltage divider) you can turn the change in resistance into a change in voltage that your board’s analog to digital converter can read.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/102/413/medium800/analog_in_Analog_Template_potentiometer.jpg?1622144123)

To wire up a potentiometer as a voltage divider:

- Connect **one outside pin** to **ground**
- Connect **the other outside pin** to **voltage in (e.g. 3.3V)**
- Connect **the middle pin** to **an analog pin (e.g. A0)**

![analog_in_Analog_template_pot_voltage_divider.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/102/481/medium640/analog_in_Analog_template_pot_voltage_divider.jpg?1622481955)

On the device page, click the New Component (or "+") button to open the component picker.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/118/245/medium800/wireless_esp32-create-component.png?1675792932)

Search for the component name by entering `potentiometer`&nbsp;into the text box on the component picker, the list of components should update as soon as you stop typing.

![analog_in__pot___N0AyUqauwx.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/128/616/medium640/analog_in__pot___N0AyUqauwx.png?1709746646)

### Filtering and searching for components

Since WipperSnapper supports such a large number of components, there is keyword filtering. Try searching for various keywords, like:

- component names: `aht20`,&nbsp;`servo`,&nbsp;`buzzer`,&nbsp;`button`,&nbsp;`potentiometer`, etc
- sensor types:&nbsp;`light`,&nbsp;`temperature`,&nbsp;`pressure`,&nbsp;`humidity`, etc
- interface:&nbsp;`i2c`,&nbsp;`uart`,&nbsp;`ds18x20`,&nbsp;`pin`, etc (also I2C addresses e.g.&nbsp;`0x44`)
- vendor:&nbsp;`Adafruit`,&nbsp;`ASAIR`,&nbsp;`Infineon`,&nbsp;`Bosch`,&nbsp;`Honeywell`,&nbsp;`Sensirion`, etc

There are also added product and documentation links for every component, follow the links beneath the component descriptions to be taken to the appropriate product page or Learn Guide.

Select the&nbsp; **Potentiometer** &nbsp;from the list of results to go to the component configuration page.

There will be a back button if you select the wrong component, and you can use the Edit component icon (⚙️) on the device page to update the component configuration in the future.

![analog_in__pot___N0AyUqauwx.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/128/617/medium640/analog_in__pot___N0AyUqauwx.png?1709746737)

On the _Create Potentiometer Component_ form:

- Set&nbsp; **Potentiometer Pin** &nbsp;to&nbsp; **A2**

- Select **"On Change"** as the **Return Interval**
- Select **Raw Analog Value** as the **Return Type**

Then, click Create Component

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/118/269/medium800/wireless_analog_in__pot___pot-pin-form.png?1675798788)

The potentiometer component appears on your board page! Next, learning to read values from it.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/118/247/medium800/wireless_esp32-huzzah-pot.png?1675792980)

## Read Analog Pin Values

## I2C Sensor

Info: 

Inter-Integrated Circuit, aka **I2C** , is a two-wire protocol for connecting sensors and "devices" to a microcontroller. A large number of sensors, including the ones sold by Adafruit, use I2C to communicate.&nbsp;

**Typically, using I2C with a microcontroller involves programming. Adafruit IO and WipperSnapper let you configure a microcontroller to read data from an I2C sensor and publish that data to the internet without writing code.**

The WipperSnapper firmware supports a number of I2C sensors,&nbsp;[viewable in list format here](https://github.com/adafruit/Wippersnapper_Components/tree/main/components/i2c).

- If you do not see the I2C sensor you're attempting to use with WipperSnapper,&nbsp;[Adafruit has a guide on adding a component to Adafruit IO WipperSnapper here](https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-add-a-new-component-to-adafruit-io-wippersnapper).&nbsp;

On this page, you'll learn how to wire up an I2C sensor to your board. Then, you'll create a new component on Adafruit IO for your I2C sensor and send the sensor values to Adafruit IO. Finally, you'll learn how to locate, interpret, and download the data produced by your sensors.

### Filtering and searching for components

Since WipperSnapper supports such a large number of components, there is keyword filtering. Try searching for various keywords, like:

- component names:&nbsp;`aht20`,&nbsp;`servo`,&nbsp;`buzzer`,&nbsp;`button`,&nbsp;`potentiometer`, etc
- sensor types:&nbsp;`light`,&nbsp;`temperature`,&nbsp;`pressure`,&nbsp;`humidity`, etc
- interface:&nbsp;`i2c`,&nbsp;`uart`,&nbsp;`ds18x20`,&nbsp;`pin`, etc (also I2C addresses e.g.&nbsp;`0x44`)
- vendor:&nbsp;`Adafruit`,&nbsp;`ASAIR`,&nbsp;`Infineon`,&nbsp;`Bosch`,&nbsp;`Honeywell`,&nbsp;`Sensirion`, etc

There are added product and documentation links for every component, follow the links beneath the component descriptions to be taken to the appropriate product page or Learn Guide.

Select the&nbsp; **MCP9808** &nbsp;from the list of results to go to the component configuration page.

There will be a back button if you select the wrong component, and you can use the Edit component icon (⚙️) on the device page to update the component configuration in the future.

![i2c__external__ARROW_YHKeButdWT.png](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/127/457/medium640/i2c__external__ARROW_YHKeButdWT.png?1706830625)

On the component configuration page, the MCP9808's I2C sensor address should be listed along with the sensor's settings.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/981/medium800/i2c__external__mcp9808-form.png?1675199307)

The MCP9808 sensor can measure ambient temperature. This page has individual options for reading the ambient temperature, in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. You may select the readings which are appropriate to your application and region.

The&nbsp; **Send Every** &nbsp;option is specific to each sensor measurement. This option will tell the board how often it should read from the sensor and send the data to Adafruit IO. Measurements can range from every 30 seconds to every 24 hours.

For this example, set the&nbsp; **Send Every&nbsp;** interval for both seconds to&nbsp; **Every 30 seconds.&nbsp;** Click&nbsp; **Create Component**.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/982/medium800/i2c__external__mcp9808-form-2.png?1675199314)

The board page should now show the MCP9808 component you created. After the interval you configured elapses, the WipperSnapper firmware running on your board automatically reads values from the sensor and sends them to Adafruit IO.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/118/040/medium800/wireless_esp32-mcp.png?1675360147)

## Read I2C Sensor Values

Now to look behind the scenes at a powerful element of using Adafruit IO and WipperSnapper. When a new component is created on Adafruit IO, an&nbsp;[Adafruit IO Feed](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-io-basics-feeds)&nbsp;is also created. This Feed holds your sensor component values for long-term storage (30 days of storage for Adafruit IO Free and 60 days for Adafruit IO Plus plans).

Aside from holding the&nbsp; **values** &nbsp;read by a sensor, the component's feed also holds&nbsp; **metadata** &nbsp;about the data pushed to Adafruit IO. This includes settings for whether the data is public or private, what license the stored sensor data falls under, and a general description of the data.

Next, to look at the sensor temperature feed. To navigate to a component's feed, click on the chart icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the component.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/984/medium800/i2c__external__chart-icon.png?1675199374)

On the component's feed page, you'll each data point read by your sensor and when they were reported to Adafruit IO.

# Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather

## ESP32 F.A.Q

Some pins are special about the ESP32 - here's a list of 'notorious' pins to watch for!

- **A2 / I34** - this pin is an _input only!_ You can use it as an analog input so we suggest keeping it for that purpose
- **A3 / I39** - this pin is an _input only!_ You can use it as an analog input so we suggest keeping it for that purpose
- **A4 / I36** - this pin is an _input only_! You can use it as an analog input so we suggest keeping it for that purpose
- **IO12** - this pin has an internal pulldown, and is used for booting up. We recommend not using it or if you do use it, as an output only so that nothing interferes with the pulldown when the board resets
- **A13 / I35** - this pin is not exposed, it is used only for measuring the voltage on the battery. The voltage is divided by 2 so be sure to double it once you've done the analog reading

### Why does the yellow CHARGE LED blink while USB powered?

The charging circuit will flash when there is no LiPoly battery plugged in. It's harmless and doesn't mean anything. When a LiPoly battery is connect it will stabilize the charger and will stop flashing

### Why can I not read analog inputs once WiFi is initialized?

Due to the design of the ESP32, **ADC2** is not available once WIFi has started. You can still use **ADC1** even if WiFi is in use.

### Why is Serial.read() not working as expected on ESP32 Breakout? 

This is a minor design issue with the initial version of the Breakout (does not apply to Feather version). If you are having issues similar to the [discussion here](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=153553), try the trick of enabling the internal pull-up as [described here](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=153553#p769168).
