![]() We will be using the GPIO Pins as digital input and as digital output pins in our ESP boards this time when connecting the push button and the LED respectively. GPIO pins act as both input and output pins with an exception for few. ![]() Using GPIO Pins of ESP32/ESp8266 as Digital Input/Output Getting Started with Thonny MicroPython IDE for ESP32 and ESP8266.We will be using the same uP圜raft IDE as we have done previously when we learned how to blink and chase LEDs in micro-python. Push Button Interfacing MicroPython Tutorial Prerequisitesīefore we start this lesson make sure you are familiar with and have the latest version of Micro-python firmware installed in your ESP boards and have a running Integrated Development Environment(IDE) in which we will be doing the programming. Push Button Interfacing with ESP32 using Arduino IDE.You may like to check our similar article in which we have learned to control LED with Push button using Arduino IDE: We will be reading the value from the Push Button and lighting up the Led consequently. Accordingly, we will also show how to interface the Led with our ESP32/ ESP8266 boards. Previously we learned how to use GPIO pins for the ESP modules as output pins but in this tutorial, we’ll see how the same GPIO pins can also be used to acquire the digital inputs from the modules. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 6.0.1 Mobile rv:51.0) Gecko/51.0 Firefox/51.0Īccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,*/* q=0.8Īccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,*/* q=0.In this tutorial, we will learn how to use a push button in order to turn a led on and off. Using Firefox on an Android mobile phone, when I connect to the ESP8266 using address 192.168.4.1 the request contains: The request is in plain text and can contain various types of information. When a web browser contacts a web server it makes a request. If we have “LEDON” we turn the LED on with “digitalWrite(LED_Pin, HIGH) ” and if we have “LEDOFF” we turn the LED on with “digitalWrite(LED_Pin, LOW) ” This means if the result is > 0 we know we have a match. Indexof returns the position of the search text or 0 if it is not found. String body2 = “this is going to change at some point. I try to separate the text in to parts to make this easier to organize and will often have things like:Ĭonst char body1 = “body text that does not change” I use string constants for text that does not change and Strings for text that will change at runtime. In practice I freely mix strings and Strings. They should be used sparingly where possible though. This means I am happy using Strings (big S) if they offer a quick solution and I don’t mind suggesting to other people that Strings can be OK. The ESP8266 has a lot more memory than a regular Arduino and allows for some flexibility and my take on this is to use the tool or command that allows you to get the job done. If you search the Arduino forums nearly all comments advocate using char arrays (strings with a small s), of course nobody ever offers to teach string manipulation using char arrays. This means, after connecting to the ESP8266 I set a browser to go to 192.168.4.1.Ī typical Arduino has very limited memory and due to how Strings (with a capital S) eat and corrupt memory using Strings is, at best, frowned upon, and at worst, seen as pure evil. In the following examples I will be using the default IP address of 192.168.4.1. To view a web page you need to enter it’s url or IP address. ![]() I won’t go in to detail about creating web pages, if you are new to this there are many other sites to help you. Since this is a first example of a web control the actual web page should be as simply as possible. Something like “LED is on” and “LED is off”. It would be nice if it also showed the current LED status. The web page will need 2 buttons, one for on and one for off. I still have the LED connected to pin D1 but now I want to turn it on and off from a web page viewed on a mobile device. The ESP8266 will then serve a small web page which we can view on a mobile device or any web enabled device such as a laptop. This means the ESP8266 will create its own little network which we can connect to. ![]() I will start with a basic web page and then slowly refine it so we end with a simple but elegant control panel.įor this example I will be using the ESP8266 as an access point (AP Mode). Here I go through building a web page control panel to control the LED remotely. ![]() In the first part I explained how to set up the IDE and got the basic blink sketch working. ![]()
