GPIO21 - Issues

Postby Foxabilo » Tue May 09, 2017 10:06 am

Hi All,

Having a bit of an Issue with GPIO21

In essence I am setting GPIO21 to Input and attempting to set it floating, no matter what setting I seem to apply to that particular pin I can only get it to read a change in level when using a less than 780 Ohm resistor in series, i.e. GPIO36 will change no problem even with a 50k R in series , all of the other pins seems to be just fine, not sure what I could be doing wrong to make GPIO21 so difficult to change voltage level on.

I have tried setting the pins as a group and setting them individually, same result each time. Any pointers would be great.

These are the different bits of code I have tried.

Code: Select all

#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"

}

}

	io_conf.pull_up_en = 0; 
	gpio_config(&io_conf);
	
	int n;
	
	n=0;
	
	while(n<10)
	{

What hardware are you doing this on? Are you sure there's no external resistor pulling the gpio up or down?

Problem solved.... I had a voltage divider on the pin... just get it to change state for a given input (a power input detector with battery backup) and SOMEONE... who will remain nameless forgot to solder one of the divider resistors on.....

Thanks for the help.... Error between Chair and Keyboard ...
