Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, we will create a web server with ESP8266 microcontroller to control the activation of an LED. The goal is to understand how the ESP8266 connects to a WiFi network, how it sets up a web server, and how it is possible to exchange information between the browser and the esp8266.
Components Required
1x Computer/notebook with Arduino
1x Mini-USB cable.
1x NodeMCU (ESP8266 Breakout Board)
Internet Browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE…)
ESP8266 Libraries for Arduino IDE
For this project, we will use two libraries:
ESP8266WiFi: This library carries all the functions necessary for the ESP8266 to connect to a wifi network.
ESPAsyncWebServer: This library carries the functions needed to create an ...
