ESP32, UART2 uart_write_bytes, no serial output
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:18 am
Hi
I'm using ESP32-WROOM-32U. I'm new to ESP-IDF and so decided to learn how to write a simple uart echo program.
I used the following resources,
to write a program below
I started out with simply sending uart data from ESP32 (no uart_read_bytes; no echo yet). The program worked fine for UART_NUM_0 and the corresponding TX (GPIO 1) and RX (GPIO 3) pins. When I would use a serial communication program, like minicom,
(same settings as in the program: baud rate is 115200 by default, no HW/SW flow control, etc.) the test_str got output as expected.
However, when I decided to try UART_NUM_2, with TX (17) and RX (16), no test_str was output.
I'm not sure what is wrong with the program. I can only suspect that the program is fine, but maybe when I'm running sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 or the ESP-IDF monitor command (aka idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 monitor), I'm still accessing UART0 output, and so should use something else to access UART2?
I have ESP32 connected via USB only.
