ESP32-C3 GPIO9

Everything you need to use this pin correctly: status, alternate functions, boot-time cautions and working code.

Alternate functionsStrapping (low = download mode)
ChipESP32-C3 pinout
Watch out:
  • Strapping pin: its level is latched at power-up to configure boot behaviour. Do not attach anything that changes its reset state.

Practical notes

Strapping pin with an internal weak pull-up (default value 1). Pulling it low at reset enters download mode — this is the BOOT button pin. When used as normal IO, add an external pull-up for stability.

Sample code

// Arduino
const int PIN = 9;

void setup() {
  pinMode(PIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(PIN, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(PIN, LOW);
  delay(500);
}
