Cannot reconfigure certain pins for GPIO usage
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:00 pm
I have been using both the ESP32-C3 Devkit and a custom board using the ESP32-C3FN4 (which has the SPI pins attached)
I am attempting to use pins 19-24 (GPIO 12-17) as simply GPIO. Whenever I run my code to reconfigure the pins as GPIO, I get a looped boot with the serial output shown below. What baffles me is that I ran this same code but on pins 25-26 (GPIO 18,19 the USB pins) and it works without issue.
All the code is as simple as shown below. What is to be noted is that GPIO is not the default function for GPIO 12-17 (and others). Which means I need to change the function, but this is not clearly communicated how to do so. Even when I run Espressif's code, it throws the same error. For example, the Blink example they provide crashes when you set the pin to 12-17, so they are not checking to configure it in their own code.
