• Description:
In this video I show you how to get started with WebSockets, one of the latest web technologies for exchanging data between web clients and web servers.
We've seen how to use HTTP requests from a web browser to request data from a web server running on the ESP8266 ( • ESP8266 Web Server HTM... ). A problem is that every time the client sends a request, the entire webpage needs to be reloaded. We saw how using XML HTTP requests and AJAX allowed for dynamically updating parts of the webpage ( • ESP8266 Web Server HTM... ).
With websockets the data exchange between a client and server is much easier, faster, and doesn't need a request to be made by the client.
In this tutorial, I build a webpage that:
1. Allows me to display text data sent from the server using the Serial Monitor for text input.
2. Allows me to send text data to the server using the Serial Monitor as a display output.
3. Allows me to change the value of a slider to set the brightness value of an LED that's controlled by the web server running on the ESP8266.
