New to ESP32 / Auduino IDE cant get output from PWN possible config error

Postby michpic » Mon Jun 26, 2023 5:34 pm

Hi I used some example code from a tutorial for the ESP32 CAM robot with video and web interface. I have this working fine by just turning the I/O pins off on to my motor speed controller, but wanted to use PWM mainly because one motor runs a little faster than the other so I was going to use PWM to slow one down so when it goes Forward / Backwards is goes in a straight line not a curve. Unfortunately nothing happens when I connect to the web page - I see the video, but the buttons have no function. I wonder others use int PIN_NAME where the tutorial I used has a 'Define for the pin names. But other than that I have no idea whats up.

I heard PWM 1 was shared by the camera? So I have used 2,3,4,5 - 2 and 3 for motor 1 and 4/5 for motor 2.

Instead of setting a pin on, I set it on, then set the PWM on to the set value but no movement, I also moved the int declarations from setup at the end to where the other variables are deffined.

When just using Digital IO its fine and works so the hardware is sound. I spent a long time googling so thought it was time to post my first ESP32 issue....

Thanks in andvance!

I will try include my code if I get the quotes right:

Code: Select all
