Re: use of LED control for buzzer?
That was measured with a scope with 4kHz signal. There's no negative voltage if I drop the GPIO drive strength to minimum. I would not expect a piezo transducer to work well if it's just in series with the drain of a transistor but that should be OK for the electro-magnetic transducer. Cool, at lea...

Re: use of LED control for buzzer?
Just an FYI, it's not a good idea to drive a piezo electric device via a GPIO pin. Piezo devices can generate negative voltages. I'm getting only -40mV. Is that measured with a scope or meter. You will get much higher voltages than this when you turn a piezo off at the right time. Similar to say wh...

Re: use of LED control for buzzer?
It would help if you provide a link to the type of buzzer you are using. It sounds to me as if it's probably a piezo transducer such as this. If so, drive it directly from a GPIO, not through a transistor. Just an FYI, it's not a good idea to drive a piezo electric device via a GPIO pin. Piezo devi...

Re: use of LED control for buzzer?
ok, cool. what about "Did you look at the pin via a scope to ensure your getting the square wave output ?"

Re: New ESP32-WROVER Ethernet Board
FWIW, prototypes have been send out. Will receive them next week.

Re: use of LED control for buzzer?
Need a little more info.
How are you driving the buzzer? GPIO directly, though a transistor, and if transistor did you add the blocking diode.
Did you look at the pin via a scope to ensure your getting the square wave output ?

Re: Error when flashing gpio example
I just tried this example using mingw32, compiled and ran just fine for me.

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?
Maybe, dedicated pads for PSRAM.The PSRAM is not the best option, since it uses up the precious SPI bus for flash reads.

Re: Wrong ULP Consumption ?
Never hurts to ask. What are you powering the ESP32 with, and what are you measuring the current with.
