API (ESP32) component
Connects to an ESP32 device running the API Firmware allowing the board to become a slave to the Flowcode Embedded simulation or Flowcode App Developer. Supports: Digital IO / ADC / I2C / SPI / PWM / UART See Flowcode Help Wiki for firmware.

Detailed description
The App Developer (ESP32) component allows an ESP32 board to be controlled from within the Flowcode simulation runtime.
To allow Flowcode to communicate and control the ESP32 hardware the board must first be pre-programmed with dedicated firmware.
The firmware source project can be downloaded from here.
You will need to set your WIFI SSID and Password near the top of Main to allow the ESP module to connect to your network.
More information about the workings of the firmware project can be found on the FiniteStateMachine page.
The IP Address to the ESP32 hardware is selected via the SCADA_ESP32 component IP Address property.
When building the component into a App Developer project remember to expose the IP Address property to allow the end user to select the address for the hardware.
The console window can display data in two modes which is set via a component property.
- fixed statistics showing IO / ADC inputs / PWM
- scrolling log showing all commands and returns
Examples
Pin Mapping
Here is a table showing how the App Developer Slave digital pins are mapped on the device.
Please note pins 34, 35, 36, 39 are only capable of digital inputs and cannot be used as digital outputs.
| App Developer Slave Digital Pin | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 39 |
| Device Port Pin | A0 | A1 | A2 | A3 | A4 | A5 | A12 | A13 | A14 | A15 | A16 | A17 | A18 | A19 | A21 | A22 | A23 | A25 | A26 | A27 | B0 | B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 | B7 |
| GPIO Number | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 39 |
Here is a table showing how the App Developer Slave analogue pins are mapped on the device.
Please note not all analogue input pins are available as peripheral ADC2 is not accesible when WIFI/Bluetooth is active. Only the pins shown are available.
| App Developer Slave Analogue Pin | 0 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Device Port Pin | B4 | B7 | B0 | B1 | B2 | B3 |
| GPIO Number | 36 | 39 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 |
Here is a table showing how the App Developer Slave peripheral pins are mapped on the device.
Please note that PWM channels are tied in pairs and so channel 0 and 1 use the same internal timer peripheral. They will always run at the same frequency and when enabling channel 1 channel 0 duty will be reset to 0% and visa versa.
| App Developer Slave Peripheral Pin | I2C 0 SDA | I2C 0 SCL | I2C 1 SDA | I2C 1 SCL | SPI 0 MOSI | SPI 0 MISO | SPI 0 SCK | SPI 1 MOSI | SPI 1 MISO | SPI 1 SCK | UART 0 RX | UART 0 TX | UART 1 RX | UART 1 TX | PWM 0 | PWM 1 | PWM 2 | PWM 3 | PWM 4 | PWM 5 | PWM 6 | PWM 7 | PWM 8 | PWM 9 | PWM 10 | PWM 11 | OneWire |
| Device Port Pin | A13 | A12 | A15 | A14 | A13 | A12 | A14 | A23 | A19 | A18 | A26 | A25 | B0 | B1 | A0 | A2 | A4 | A5 | A12 | A13 | A14 | A15 | A16 | A17 | A18 | A19 | A21 |

PortA = GPIO pins 0 - 31 : A0 = GPIO 0
PortB = GPIO pins 32 - 39 : B0 = GPIO 32
