Blink LED Example on an ESP32 Using MicroPython and ROS2

@ncmncm Thx for the comment. Yes ROS 2 is the robot operating system v2 - www.ros.org - which is historically a challenge to interface with uC's, hence the post share. I'm trying to build a cheap platform for people to learn ROS (2) and robotics hence the interest in using cheap (yet capable) uC's like the ESP32.

The example actually does use HW timers to blink the LED from a ROS message.

Let me know if you have other suggestions.

Thank you, I did not pick up that the example used HW timers. That alone makes it much better than typical tutorials.

This is really a very helpful document, and not just for setting up an ROS controller.
