c3 super mini adaption for version 2

[dtashmore547]

I have updated my super mini boards to the current dev version and everything is working fine, I still have a desire to see the led in operation as it gives a useful indication of the state of the device.
I am lost as to why the led should interfere with the gyro as I have the gyro on gpio6 and gpio7 whereas the blue on-board LED is on gpio8. I would love to see the LED operating the same as the on-board LED of the esp8266 mini. is this possible? could I define the super mini as a separate device place this definition in all the places where the esp32c3 definition is used except the led.hpp and led.cpp and place the gpio8 as LED_INBUILT in the main.hpp folder or would that cause conflicts?

On the esp32 c3 mini from wemos the LED is tied to PIN 7 so thats where the conflict comes from. If you board uses a different GPIO then the led can be used but that would require a specialized target to be added to support both boards.

what is the board defintion you are using in arduino ?

hi
this is the board info I get from arduino.

I gotta this helps. all the info I can find on the esp32c3 super mini claims the inbuilt led is on gpio8

Doesent really help, do you have a link to the manufacturer?

this is the link to the item I am using, there are a lot of these devices on aliexpress, have you never seen them before, they are very small and compact.

This board is not yet supported in the arduino for esp32. Its on the todo-list which means it will be included in arduino 3.x which gravitymon don't use yet. So we just have to wait and see when this board is supported on how to proceed.

This surprises me as it is just the basic esp32C3 chip on a small form factor board there is very little added to it, as far as i can make out the only real difference is that the rgb LED is replaced with a single blue led. i would expect the device to work exactly as the other board with the exception of the LED. my build so far is working fine with the exception of the LED.

Well, it there are changes then there needs to be a separate board definition file, if there is a similar board definition then most of the features will work. In your case everything expect the led since the pin for controlling that is different. It's possible to patch the framework if one creates a board definition.

[dtashmore547]

that is what I thought, I shall see what I can do, I was just unsure if I would be conflicting with something else.
thanks

You can start with changing the LED_PIN in the arduino_pins.h for your board, should be in the framework_dir / variants / board_name / pins_arduino.h.

I've just added a script in the dev branch that patches the definition for the s3 mini since that config is wrong and they only fixed that in 3.x
