Gpio noob

Post by LukeVideo » Thu May 09, 2019 4:07 pm

Hy all,
I'm brand new to esp32. I noticed that different builds have different gpio layout. But does it mean that the pins have different labels and different values. Or maybe even if not at the same place on the board a gpio 2 will have the same property on different board's.
Not sure if I'm making any sense... But if you think you can help me please fell free to answer !

Luke.

A pin labeled gpio2 on a board (or sometimes only 2) will always have the same property. The GPIO naming scheme is that of the ESP32 CPU.

Good to know !
Thank you very much. I was confused a I bought 2 different kind of esp32 but the schematics don't match (some pins are on different side of the board on one board and so on).So I just wanted to be sure that the underlying property of a pin was consistent with the number of the pin. I didn't did to deep yet but that means pin 34 and 35 are input only on any esp32 board if it's on the left the right, top or bottom.

Now the question is where do I find a guide to what all the information on a pinout schematics means ?
