-# LEDC (LED PWM Controller) Example
+# _LEDC Example_
+
+(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
 
 This example shows how to control intensity of LEDs using ESP32's on-board hardware LED PWM Controller module.
 
-## Functionality
+## How to use example
 
-Operations performed by example:
+### Hardware Required
 
-* Configuration of two timers (one high speed and the other low speed) that will be clocking four LEDC channels.
-
-* Configuration of four channels of LEDC module, two channels will operate in high speed mode and two in low speed mode. Each channel will drive one GPIO / LED.
-
-* Initialization of fade service to fade / gradually change intensity of LEDs.
-
-* Operation of channels in a loop by cycling through four steps that will drive LEDs as follows:
-
-  1. Fade up / increase intensity
-  2. Fade down / decrease intensity (down to zero)
-  3. Set steady intensity
-  4. Set intensity to zero
-
-## Hardware Setup
+* A development board with ESP32 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
+* A USB cable for power supply and programming
 
 Connect four LEDs to the following LEDC channels / individual GPIOs:
 
-  * Channel 0 - GPIO18
-  * Channel 1 - GPIO19
-  * Channel 2 - GPIO4
-  * Channel 3 - GPIO5
+|ledc channel|GPIO|
+|:---:|:---:|
+|channel 0|GPIO18|
+|channel 1|GPIO19|
+|channel 2|GPIO4|
+|channel 3|GPIO5|
 
+### Configure the project
+
+```
+make menuconfig
+```
+
+* Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options.
+
+### Build and Flash
+
+Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
+
+```
+make -j4 flash monitor
+```
+
+(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
+
+See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
+
+## Example Output
+
+Running this example, you will see each ledc's brightness changes differently
+
+* LEDC 1: Fade up / increase intensity
+* LEDC 2: Fade down / decrease intensity
+* LEDC 3: Keep a stable intensity
+* LEDC 4: LED is not on
+
+you can also see the following output log on the serial monitor:
+
+```
+1. LEDC fade up to duty = 4000
+2. LEDC fade down to duty = 0
+3. LEDC set duty = 4000 without fade
+4. LEDC set duty = 0 without fade
+...
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+* Programming fail
+
+    * Hardware connection is not correct: run `make monitor`, and reboot your board to see if there are any output logs.
+    * The baud rate for downloading is too high: lower your baud rate in the `menuconfig` menu, and try again.
+
+For any technical queries, please open an [issue] (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues) on GitHub. We will get back to you soon.
