NodeMCU Based Relay

NodeMCU is an open source IoT platform that allows things to connect to the internet and transfer data using WiFi. It provides functionality like GPIO, PWM, ADC. This project will cover NodeMCU, its communication protocols like UART, I2C, SPI, and how to set up a web server using NodeMCU to build an interactive web page. The web page will accept user input through a form, process the input, and display the output on another page.

What is NodeMCU? Why NodeMCU?
NodeMCU is an open source platform based on • Low cost and high features
the ESP8266 that allows things to be connected • Comes with micro USB Port
and data to be transferred using the Wi-Fi
protocol. Furthermore, it may solve many of the • Having storage upto 4MBytes
project's demands on its own by providing some • Development board is compact in size
of the most important functionalities of
microcontrollers such as GPIO, PWM, ADC, and • Current consumption in deep sleep mode is
so on. lesser in Node MCU

UART

01 02 03 04
Universal Bidirectional, Consist of two 3 ways to operate
Asynchronous asynchronous data lines, TX for  Simplex,
Reception and (No Clock), and transmitting and Half-duplex,

transmission. Receiving.
UART (continued)
Transmitting UART converts parallel
data from master device into serial data
to receiving UART.

Receiving UART then converts it back


into parallel form.

UART data transmission rate is known


as BAUD rate, and it should be same
for both UART devices.
UART (continued)
Advantages Disadvantages
• Simple operation • Cannot Use Multiple masters and
• No Clock Needed slaves.
• Low Transmission speed.
I2C SPI
•  Inter-Integrated-Circuit (I2C) • Serial Peripheral Interface
• Not used for PC-device • Uses four lines – MOSI, MISO, NCLK,
communication but instead with NSS
modules and sensors. • Used in places where speed is
• I2C uses an address system and a important. (eg. SD cards, display
shared bus modules or when info updates and
• Has a low pin/signal count even with changes quickly like thermometers)

Pin
Configuration
Pin Category Name Description

Power Micro-USB, 3.3V, GND, Micro-USB: NodeMCU can be powered through the USB port
Vin  
3.3V: Regulated 3.3V can be supplied to this pin to power the board
 
GND: Ground pins
 
Vin: External Power Supply

Control Pins EN, RST The pin and the button resets the microcontroller

Analog Pin A0 Used to measure analog voltage in the range of 0-3.3V

GPIO Pins GPIO1 to GPIO16 NodeMCU has 16 general purpose input-output pins on its board

SPI Pins SD1, CMD, SD0, CLK NodeMCU has four pins available for SPI communication.

UART Pins TXD0, RXD0, TXD2, NodeMCU has two UART interfaces, UART0 (RXD0 & TXD0) and UART1
RXD2 (RXD1 & TXD1). UART1 is used to upload the firmware/program.

I2C Pins   NodeMCU has I2C functionality support but due to the internal functionality of
these pins, you have to find which pin is I2C.
