uart2 pinouts

[ArminArmin]

Hi,

I am following this page of documentation for setting communication pins:
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ation-pins

why it is like this:

Code: Select all

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_set_pin(UART_NUM_2, 4, 5, 18, 19));

insterad of this:

Code: Select all

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(uart_set_pin(UART_NUM_2, 17, 16, 18, 19));

?

Since we are defining the pin numbers of the second uart, it make sense to use the pins that are allocated to uart_2.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

It doesn't really matter. The pins can be anything (well, anything sensible) and the GPIO matrix will route the signals there. There are no pins 'allocated' to any UART; the pins indicated in the datasheet are simply the default pins for it.
