Espressif Developer Portal

In this article, we explore how to configure GPIO pins as inputs in ESP-IDF and discuss the importance of pull-up/pull-down resistors. We will try two approaches for reading GPIO values: polling and event-driven interrupts, showing how to implement each method effectively.

This article introduces the ESP DNS component and explains why securing DNS resolution is essential for ESP32-based IoT devices. It shows how DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) can be enabled transparently in ESP-IDF with minimal code changes, using standard DNS APIs. Practical examples and guidance help developers choose the right protocol while balancing security, performance, and resource constraints.

This article walks through Espressif power modes and NuttX power states, then explains how they map to each other. Then it introduces NuttX’s power management system and the concept of governors. The how-to part shows how to control sleep modes from the shell and a custom application. Finally, you will see real power‑consumption measurements across multiple ESP chips to illustrate the practical impact using power states.

This article explains how to configure and control GPIO pins on Espressif SoCs, covering push-pull and open-drain output modes, drive capability, and library usage. It then provides a hands-on example of blinking an LED using gpio_set_direction and gpio_set_level on a ESP32-C61-DevKitC.

This article announces the ESP-IDF port of Amazon KVS WebRTC SDK, featuring memory optimizations, split mode power savings, and a simplified API. We also showcase ESP RainMaker Camera as a production-ready use-case built on this SDK.

This article describes the Matter camera features introduced in Matter 1.5 and discusses camera support for the ESP32 series of SoCs using Espressif Matter SDK
