Is there an 8266 ESP.getVcc() equivalent on the ESP32

Anyone know if is there an 8266 ESP.getVcc() equivalent implemented on the ESP32 platform yet? This would, I think, be helpful in letting me know if I am drawing too much current lighting ws2811s

The ESP8266 API, API Reference — ESP8266 RTOS SDK Programming Guide documentation should have the deets if there is a thing.

yes, the 8266 has it but I wondered if there is one for the 32.

what is the ESP.getVCC() supposed to do?

Did you search the ESP32's documentation?

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/search.html?q=getvcc()&check_keywords=yes&area=default

tells you the VCC voltage. handy if you are using power off the 3.3 pin.

on the 8266 you can add
ADC_MODE(ADC_VCC);<--pre setup

     double voltsd = static_cast<double>(ESP.getVcc()) / 1000;
      float volts = voltsd;
      char v[8] = {0};
      dtostrf(volts, 4, 3, v);//4 is   width,  precision
      strcat(html, "Current voltage ");
      strcat(html, v);

and it will display it somewhere

The ESP32 does not have the thing, as per the documentation.

I can't find it either, but there are a lot of things 32 does not have that 8266 does and that seems odd.

It seems for you the ESP32 is the wrong chip to use, sorry.

With esp32, a simple voltmeter using a voltage divider is not that hard to do.
https://github.com/G6EJD/ESP32-DC-Voltage-Measurement/blob/master/ESP32_DC_Voltage_Measurement.ino

so instead of 15v you use a 3.3 pin with:


void loop() {
  //                     Add a voltage divider to the ADC input channel R1 is typically 100K and R2 calculated to achieved 3.3v output as the input to the ADC
  //                     analogRead(ADC pin) / ADC resolution * Voltage Range * Required Value of R2 / Preferred Value of R2
  //                     In this example the input voltage for measurement is 15v
  //                     15v----100K+--to ADC Input GPIO36
  //                                |
  //                               27K
  //                                |
  //                               Gnd
  float voltage = (float)analogRead(36) / 4096 * 15 * 28205 / 27000;
  Serial.print(voltage,1);
  Serial.println("v");
  delay(200);
}

Here is the task I use for measuring V's with an ESP32.

  const float r1 = 50500.0f; // R1 in ohm, 50K
  const float r2 = 10000.0f; // R2 in ohm, 10k potentiometer

  float    adcValue = 0.0f;
  float    Vbatt = 0.0f;
  int      printCount = 0;
  float    vRefScale = (3.3f / 4096.0f) * ((r1 + r2) / r2);
  uint64_t TimePastKalman  = esp_timer_get_time(); // used by the Kalman filter UpdateProcessNoise, time since last kalman calculation
  SimpleKalmanFilter KF_ADC_b( 1.0f, 1.0f, .01f );
  TickType_t xLastWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
  for (;;)
  {
    adc1_get_raw(ADC1_CHANNEL_0); //read and discard
    adcValue = float( adc1_get_raw(ADC1_CHANNEL_0) ); //take a raw ADC reading
    KF_ADC_b.setProcessNoise( (esp_timer_get_time() - TimePastKalman) / 1000000.0f ); //get time, in microsecods, since last readings
    adcValue = KF_ADC_b.updateEstimate( adcValue ); // apply simple Kalman filter
    Vbatt = adcValue * vRefScale;
    xSemaphoreTake( sema_CalculatedVoltage, portMAX_DELAY );
    CalculatedVoltage = Vbatt;
    xSemaphoreGive( sema_CalculatedVoltage );
    
      printCount++;
      if ( printCount == 3 )
      {
      //log_i( "Vbatt %f", Vbatt );
      printCount = 0;
      }
    
    TimePastKalman = esp_timer_get_time(); // time of update complete
    xLastWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
    vTaskDelayUntil( &xLastWakeTime, xFrequency );
    //log_i( "fReadBattery %d",  uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark( NULL ) );
  }
  vTaskDelete( NULL );

probably better in that it includes the resistor values I could try that, thanks. also is there a pin on the esp32 that has simply the voltage from the usb+ wire? That would be handy for other reasons.

Last, I don't know anything about the free OS thing, in brief, what does it give you that you don't already have?

freeRTOS which is included with a ESP32 is a Multi-processing, multitasking operating system. For me, it gives me skills.

yes, I know what that is, but what does it do in a 32 module. does it check execution to stop crashes or something. I really don't know.

Is what freeRTOS does.
