ESP32 GPIO15

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.
  • This is an ADC2 channel, which becomes unavailable while Wi-Fi is running — use an ADC1 channel for reliable sampling.

Practical notes

Strapping pin (MTDO), also HSPI CS0 / ADC2_CH3 / TOUCH3. It must be high at power-up and also gates ROM boot-log printing. Verify its power-on state before using it as an SPI chip select.

Sample code

// Arduino
const int PIN = 15;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  analogReadResolution(12);
  // set attenuation before measuring higher voltages
  analogSetAttenuation(ADC_11db);
}

void loop() {
  int raw = analogRead(PIN);
  Serial.println(raw);
  delay(1000);
}
