ESP8266 - PULLUP resistor using Arduino code

Question

I'm having some trouble with this ESP8266, to switch UP, DOWN, OFF dual relay, using Arduino code and a physical 3 states switch.

The code defines input GPIOs 12,14 as INPUT_PULLUP to avoid cases that from time to time ( say once a day ), I get a phenomena that is typically for not using a pull-up resistor.

What can cause such a thing? Can it be that GPIO12, GPIO14 does not HAVE a pull-up resistor on-board?

Relevant code (that defines inputs and outputs):

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
 pinMode(switchUpPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
 pinMode(switchDownPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
 pinMode(relayUpPin, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(relayDownPin, OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(relayUpPin,HIGH);
 digitalWrite(relayDownPin,HIGH);

Answer 1

No, GPIO12 and GPIO14 have internal pull-up resistors (see table below). If they are properly setup in software I would suggest looking at the output (relay control circuit). Since you provided no information about the relay or how you control it I can't give a better answer.

• guyd: thank you. Dual relay link added to Q, and piece of the code.
• yurenchen: seems no document tell the internal pull-up resistor value. some blog says it about 40~60 KΩ: rayshobby.net/wordpress/tips-and-tricks-for-using-esp8266/….

Answer 2

The NodeMcu has no pull-up on pins 12 and 14. The esp8266 has internal pull-up and you activate it with pin mode INPUT_PULLUP. Without activated internall pull-up, there is no pull-up for this pns.

• guyd: As you can see in my code, it IS initiated with INPUT_PULLUP but the behaviour, scarcely, seems it does not have any.
• Juraj: you say that the internall pullup doesn't help?
• guyd: I say that, I had some occurrences that erratic triggering happened ...
• Juraj: ...while already using internal pull-up. I was not sure how to understand the question. So voltage drops while WiFi consumes too much power?
• guyd: you know I have my language limitations :) - Yes, it happened when PULLUP was already defined in code. I'm using a 2A DC adaptor, I doubt if the esp8266 consumes power in that scale.
