To make a link between the different naming schemes of pins, connectors and logical functions, the [Pin Definition overview](https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Pin-definition) in the esp8266 wiki is quite helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
Don't use GPIO: 0, 1, 2, 6-11, 15, 16 if you can avoid it. 3 is RX, so best to avoid also. That leaves 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 that don't have constraints. The others can be used, but you have to mind the [constraints](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Expanding-Sonoffs/#the-esp8266---hardware-more-info).
|
||||
|
||||
# Examples
|
||||
## Connect switch
|
||||
If you take a Sonoff Basic and connect a switch between pin4 (ground) and pin5 (GPIO14) of the 5 pin programming header you now have a second switch connected to the device. You can set this through the module config page as option ``09 Switch1`` or from the command line with ``gpio14 9``.

# The ESP8266 - Hardware [More Info](https://tttapa.github.io/ESP8266/Chap04%20-%20Microcontroller.html)
|
||||
|
||||
## Digital I/O
|
||||
|
||||
Just like a normal Arduino, the ESP8266 has digital input/output pins (I/O or GPIO, General Purpose Input/Output pins). As the name implies, they can be used as digital inputs to read a digital voltage, or as digital outputs to output either 0V (sink current) or 3.3V (source current).
|
||||
|
||||
## Voltage and current restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP8266 is a 3.3V microcontroller, so its I/O operates at 3.3V as well. The pins are not 5V tolerant, applying more than 3.6V on any pin will kill the chip.
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum current that can be drawn from a single GPIO pin is 12mA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usable pins
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP8266 has 17 GPIO pins (0-16), however, you can only use 11 of them, because 6 pins (GPIO 6 - 11) are used to connect the flash memory chip. This is the small 8-legged chip right next to the ESP8266. If you try to use one of these pins, you might crash your program.
|
||||
|
||||
GPIO 1 and 3 are used as TX and RX of the hardware Serial port (UART), so in most cases, you can’t use them as normal I/O while sending/receiving serial data.
|
||||
|
||||
### Boot modes
|
||||
|
||||
Some I/O pins have a special function during boot: They select 1 of 3 boot modes:
|
||||
|
||||
GPIO15 | GPIO0 | GPIO2 | Mode
|
||||
---------------|-----------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
0V | 0V | 3.3V | Uart Bootloader
|
||||
0V | 3.3V | 3.3V | Boot sketch (SPI flash)
|
||||
3.3V | x| x | SDIO mode (not used for Arduino)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: you don’t have to add an external pull-up resistor to GPIO2, the internal one is enabled at boot.
|
||||
|
||||
We have to be sure that these conditions are met by adding external resistors, or the board manufacturer of your board has added them for you. This has some implications, however:
|
||||
|
||||
GPIO15 is always pulled low, so you can’t use the internal pull-up resistor. You have to keep this in mind when using GPIO15 as an input to read a switch or connect it to a device with an open-collector (or open-drain) output, like I²C.
|
||||
GPIO0 is pulled high during normal operation, so you can’t use it as a Hi-Z input.
|
||||
GPIO2 can’t be low at boot, so you can’t connect a switch to it.
|
||||
Internal pull-up/-down resistors
|
||||
GPIO 0-15 all have a built-in pull-up resistor, just like in an Arduino. GPIO16 has a built-in pull-down resistor.
|
||||
|
||||
### PWM
|
||||
Unlike most Atmel chips (Arduino), the ESP8266 doesn’t support hardware PWM, however, software PWM is supported on all digital pins. The default PWM range is 10-bits @ 1kHz, but this can be changed (up to >14-bit@1kHz).
|
||||
|
||||
### Analog input
|
||||
The ESP8266 has a single analog input, with an input range of 0 - 1.0V. If you supply 3.3V, for example, you will damage the chip. Some boards like the NodeMCU have an on-board resistive voltage divider, to get an easier 0 - 3.3V range. You could also just use a trimpot as a voltage divider.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADC (analog to digital converter) has a resolution of 10 bits.
|
||||
|
||||
### Communication
|
||||
|
||||
### Serial
|
||||
The ESP8266 has two hardware UARTS (Serial ports):
|
||||
UART0 on pins 1 and 3 (TX0 and RX0 resp.), and UART1 on pins 2 and 8 (TX1 and RX1 resp.), however, GPIO8 is used to connect the flash chip. This means that UART1 can only transmit data.
|
||||
|
||||
UART0 also has hardware flow control on pins 15 and 13 (RTS0 and CTS0 resp.). These two pins can also be used as alternative TX0 and RX0 pins.
|
||||
|
||||
### I²C
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP doesn’t have a hardware TWI (Two Wire Interface), but it is implemented in software. This means that you can use pretty much any two digital pins. By default, the I²C library uses pin 4 as SDA and pin 5 as SCL. (The data sheet specifies GPIO2 as SDA and GPIO14 as SCL.) The maximum speed is approximately 450kHz.
|
||||
|
||||
### SPI
|
||||
|
||||
The ESP8266 has one SPI connection available to the user, referred to as HSPI. It uses GPIO14 as CLK, 12 as MISO, 13 as MOSI and 15 as Slave Select (SS). It can be used in both Slave and Master mode (in software).
