T8 and T9 touch pins reversed?

Q&A Forum › Category: ESP32 › T8 and T9 touch pins reversed?

Steve asked 7 years ago

I am using the
JZK® ESP-32S ESP32 Development Board

which looks like the DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1, 30-GPIO pin version.
Trying out the touch example sketch, it seems that T8 is on D32 and T9 is on D33.
Also, D2 is not touch-sensitive. It was supposed to be T2. It has the built-in Blue LED.
T0 does indeed work in D4.
I am wondering if there are other differences in the pinouts from the authentic DOIT board.

Hi Steve.
You are right. Other members have also reported those problems before.
I’ll have to add a note about that in the Touch Sensor Unit.

32 is swapped with 33
The touchRead() function is always reading 0 on the Touch 2 (GPIO2) pin. So, it seems it is not working properly.

Here are the threads that reported those problems:

Thanks, Sara. The best place to put a note about these trouble pins would be on the pinout diagram (including the printable PDF) since that is what we refer to when deciding which pins to use for what.

Yes, that’s a better idea.
We’ll do that in the next course update.
Thank you.
