  • Page 49 CHAPTER 6. CONTROL THE BRIGHTNESS OF LEDS (1).Description A “breathing LED” is a phenomenon where an LED’s brightness smoothly changes from dark to bright and back to dark, continuing to do so and giving the illusion of an LED“breathing. Thus how to control LED’s brightness? We need to use the PWM of ESP32 to achieve it.
  • Page 50 WiKi PWM, Pulse-Width Modulation, is a very effective method for using digital signals to control analog circuits. Common processors cannot directly output analog signals. PWM technology makes it very convenient to achieve this conversion (translation of digital to analog signals).

    CHAPTER FOURTEEN 10. COMMON PROBLEMS 1. Select the wrong development board. Many ESP32 series are compatible but the internal library files are different. For example, when uploading the video car code, the development board selects “ESP32 Dev Module”, then you can upload the code successfully, but the code does not run.
