# Example: Blink C++ example (See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.) This example demonstrates usage of the `GPIO_Output` C++ class in ESP-IDF. In this example, the `sdkconfig.defaults` file sets the `CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS` option. This enables both compile time support (`-fexceptions` compiler flag) and run-time support for C++ exception handling. This is necessary for the C++ APIs. ## How to use example ### Hardware Required Any ESP32 family development board. Connect an LED to the corresponding pin (default is pin 4). If the board has a normal LED already, you can use the pin number to which that one is connected. Development boards with an RGB LED that only has one data line like the ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02 and ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 will not work. In this case, please connect an external normal LED to the chosen pin. ### Configure the project ``` idf.py menuconfig ``` ### Build and Flash ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output ``` ...

I (343) gpio: GPIO[4]| InputEn: 0| OutputEn: 0| OpenDrain: 0| Pullup: 1| Pulldown: 0| Intr:0 LED ON LED OFF LED ON LED OFF LED ON LED OFF LED ON LED OFF LED ON LED OFF ```
