Step 1: What You Will Need

1 / 2

Step 2: Start Visuino, and Select the Arduino Nano ESP32 Board Type

1 / 2

Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "Arduino Nano ESP32" as shown on Picture 2

Step 3: In Visuino Add Components

1 / 4

  • Add "Pulse Generator" component
  • Add "Digital Multi Source" component
  • Add "Counter" component
  • Add "Digital Demux(Multiple Output channel Switch)" component

Step 4: In Visuino Set Components

1 / 3

  • Select "Counter1" and in the properties window set "Max" > "Value" to 2 and "Min" > "Value" to 0
  • Select "DigitalDemux1" and in the properties window set "Output Pins" to 3
  • If you want to increase the speed of the blinking select "PulseGenerator1" and in the properties window change the "Frequency" value

Step 5: In Visuino Connect Components

1 / 2

  • Connect "PulseGenerator1" pin [Out] to "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [In]
  • Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [0] to "Counter1" pin [In]
  • Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [1] to "DigitalDemux1" pin [In]
  • Connect "Counter1" pin [Out] to "DigitalDemux1" pin [Select]
  • Connect "DigitalDemux1" pin [0] to Arduino Nano ESP32 > RGB > Red pin [Digital]
  • Connect "DigitalDemux1" pin [1] to Arduino Nano ESP32 > RGB > Green pin [Digital]
  • Connect "DigitalDemux1" pin [2] to Arduino Nano ESP32 > RGB > Blue pin [Digital]

Step 6: Generate, Compile, and Upload the Project

  • In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.

Step 7: Play

After uploading the project to the Arduino Nano ESP32 the internal RGB LED will blink.
