Code example: Controlling the outputs

The Mercury has a high current output on board which you can use to power external devices. Short term it can handle 10-12 amps and continuously 2-3 amps. It does also have a LED attached to the output, so to test the output and flash a LED on the board we can use this example code.

/*
 * Mercury V1 (ESP32-C6) Output example 
 * Flashes the output LED and turns the high current output on/off.
 */
#include "Mercury_Pins.h"

void setup() {
    pinMode(OUT1, OUTPUT);     // You need to pullup the BUTTON input, it will be 1 when NOT pressed and 0 when pressed.
    digitalWrite(OUT1, LOW);   // Always turn the output off when starting is good practise
}
void loop() {
    digitalWrite(OUT1, HIGH);
    delay(500);
    digitalWrite(OUT1, LOW);
    delay(500);
}
