ESP32 devkit v1 pinout
ESP32 devkit v1 also known as the ESP-WROOM-32, is a development board based on the ESP32 microcontroller.
Power & Control
ESP32 DevKit V1 has two positive power input pins and one control pin on the development board.
| Pin Name | Function |
|---|---|
| VIN | The input of the 3.3V positive voltage regulator. you can input a voltage supply range of 4 to 12V. |
| 3.3V | Output from the voltage regulator. You can input 3.3V to this pin if you have one. you should not supply both input pins at a time. |
| GND | Ground (Negative) pins. |
| ENABLE | Enable the reset pin. Connecting this pin to GND (ground) will reset the ESP32 devkit v1 board. This pin is normally pulled-up. The EN (ENABLE) button pulls it LOW when you press it. |
GPIO pins of esp32 devkit v1
ESP32 Devkit v1 has 34 GPIO pins on the chip. The no of these is written on the board from 0 to 39. You can not count these pins to 40 because GPIOs 20, 24, 28, 29, 30, and 31 are not accessible. GPIP Pins of ESP32 can perform many peripheral functions on any of the GPIO pins using the GPIO Mux block of the devkit v1.

Strapping Pins of ES32 DevKit V1
All ESP32 microcontroller chips have a bootloader inside the ROM that monitors the state of the chip when powered in. The bootloader checks for all inputs and puts the chip into different configurations. The pins are monitored by the bootloader called strapping pins. ESP32 has five strapping pins on the chip. These strapping pins perform other behaviors during the booting process.
| Pin Name | Function |
|---|---|
| GPIO0 | Devkit esp32 will enter the serial bootloader when GPIO0 is held low on reset. Otherwise program flash memory. This pin is pulled up internally. |
| GPIO2 | This pin must also be left floating or driven LOW in order to enter the serial bootloader. In normal boot mode (GPIO0 = HIGH), GPIO2 is ignored. on board, LED is connected to this pin. |
| GPIO12/MTDI | This pin selects the flash voltage during boot. |
| GPIO15/MTDO | This pin is used to mute the debug messages printed by the chip during booting. |
| GPIO5 | This pin along with the MTDO pins determines the bus timing of the SDIO peripheral. This is internally pulled up. |
Pull-Up & Pull-Down
All GPIO pins have pull-up and pull-down configurations, as well as a high-impedance state. This makes the pin tristate compatible.
LED
GPIO2 is connected to the onboard LED which can be used for debugging. In the Arduino environment, you can invoke this pin as LED_BUILTIN.
