ESP32 Web page creating and updating

2 роки тому

This video will show how to use your ESP32 for creating and updating web pages. Learn how to 1) create an access point for client connection, 2) serve a web page using HTML, 3) make fast updates of changed data on the page using AJAX and XML, and 4) receive user interactions like buttons and sliders for making settings and changes from the web page.
This video is fairly detailed and long, but hopefully with the included sample code, you will be able to create fancy web pages that let you update data quickly and allow users to makes setting changes from the web page.
Use this technique for home automation systems, control systems, remote monitoring systems, telemetry etc. Send and get data from your web page made easy.
This tutorial uses a standard ESP32 micocontroller and the Arduino IDE. The web page is written HTML, uses CSS styling to make the web page look better, and java script to update portions of the web page from XML sent from the ESP.

Because the grocery puts what you need at the back so you gotta look at everything and up the chances the house wins when you impulse buy some oreos Oreos is like put me in rhe way we gotta be in it to win it. Meanwhile we can't afford nothing so it's a convicting consumer chorus ultimately Ya know everything is baked in. Industry is held up by their seeming inability to know I ain't got money but they advertise anyway. That's a waste and it's priced into valuations down stream Who benefits from me getting laxative ads on the can because I took too long. Nothing about my file should indicate I've ever bought a single thing advertised to me. They have wasted like billions probably I won't break though because I'm BROKE 😂

at 14:06 the 200 is *NOT* a timout/timer/delay, it is the http réponse status code, which tells the client if his request succeeded (200) or not (4xx) or if the server had an error (5xx)... look up "http status codes"

Amazing what you had to go through to just come to grips with the web stuff. Those of us who have been at it since the early 90's can tell you that the learning curve is steep, especially now that there are so many options out there. JSON is pretty easy to use, because XML is not that popular anymore as it used to be decades ago (am I really getting that old?). Your system is just superb and I started this week with ESP32 and I am amazed at it. Never really worked with an MCU before. I knew waht ti was and what it was sued for, but nice to do it hands on. Your type of videos are so invaluable in inspiring and showing those of us with big ideas that our ideas are not silly, because it has been done already. Thanks again.

Great video and very well explained, I've started to study and go through and doing some playing around wit the code to learn and understand HTML coding. I have a question which part of the html code that makes the boxes and color's around the text as I would like to see about removing them to just show plain text or a border box around the text ?

@KrisKasprzak Рік тому

the status bar boxes are classes inside the table, the java script controls the color and width. if you set the class properties to some fixed value and remove the java updated code, you should be able to get a border (or nothing) around the text. note HTML + CSS + JAVA script is a real pain to write in.

@kevin4119817 2 роки тому

Hi Kris, most of the tutorials are done with WiFiServer library, yours has been done with WebServer. I've also read about AsyncWebServer many times and it is pretty confusing. Do you know the differences between these and which one is better in your opinion?

@KrisKasprzak 2 роки тому

I'm using a heavily modified example that came with the ESP32 install. A key reason is the "on" method that will listen to incoming traffic and if a keyword is encountered it will fire a function. For example if the web page button is pressed, the java script will send back a "BUTTON_1" keyword, the library i'm using sees that and can process accordingly. I'm not sure if what you are considering can do that--otherwise you will need to write your own code for listening and processing.

@KrisKasprzak 4 місяці тому

It’s been a while since I looked at the code, but inside the ESP code there is a handleclient function that pings the server. I think you can slow that down, but you’ll have to adjust the time out inside your webpage.
