Creating A Web Server Using Node

The document describes creating a web server using Node-MCU and ESP module that allows controlling GPIO pins through a web interface. It defines functions to connect to WiFi, set up a web server listening on port 80, and handle client requests to turn GPIO pins on and off by parsing the URL and updating the pin states. When a client connects, it sends an HTML page with buttons to toggle the pins and displays their current states.

Creating a Web Server using Node-MCU and ESP Module

Code:

// Load Wi-Fi library


#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

// Replace with your network credentials


const char* ssid = "Domnic";
const char* password = ".007domnic";

// Set web server port number to 80


WiFiServer server(80);

// Variable to store the HTTP request


String header;

// Auxiliar variables to store the current output state


String output5State = "off";
String output4State = "off";

// Assign output variables to GPIO pins


const int output5 = 5;
const int output4 = 4;

// Current time
unsigned long currentTime = millis();
// Previous time
unsigned long previousTime = 0;
// Define timeout time in milliseconds (example: 2000ms = 2s)
const long timeoutTime = 2000;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
// Initialize the output variables as outputs
pinMode(output5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(output4, OUTPUT);
// Set outputs to LOW
digitalWrite(output5, LOW);
digitalWrite(output4, LOW);

// Connect to Wi-Fi network with SSID and password


Serial.print("Connecting to ");

// if the current line is blank, you got two newline characters in a row.
// that's the end of the client HTTP request, so send a response:
