ESP32-C3 GPIO8

Everything you need to use this pin correctly: status, alternate functions, boot-time cautions and working code.

Watch out:
  • Strapping pin: its level is latched at power-up to configure boot behaviour. Do not attach anything that changes its reset state.

Practical notes

Strapping pin controlling ROM log printing and part of the boot configuration. It floats by default; add external pull resistors if you need a specific value. Do not attach anything that alters its level at reset.

Sample code

// Arduino
const int PIN = 8;

void setup() {
  pinMode(PIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(PIN, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(PIN, LOW);
  delay(500);
}
