NodeMCU as Server


NodeMCU as Server

Create A Simple ESP8266 NodeMCU Web Server

A web server is a place where web pages are stored, processed, and served to web clients. A web client is just a web browser that we use on our computers and phones. A web client and a web server communicate using a special protocol known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

ESP8266 Operating Modes

One of the most useful features of the ESP8266 is its ability to not only connect to an existing WiFi network and act as a Web Server, but also to create its own network, allowing other devices to connect directly to it and access web pages.

This is possible because the ESP8266 can operate in three modes: Station (STA) mode, Soft Access Point (AP) mode, and both simultaneously.

Station (STA) Mode

In Station (STA) mode, the ESP8266 connects to an existing WiFi network (the one created by your wireless router).

In STA mode, the ESP8266 obtains an IP address from the wireless router to which it is connected. With this IP address, it can set up a web server and serve web pages to all connected devices on the existing WiFi network.

Soft Access Point (AP) Mode

In Access Point (AP) mode, the ESP8266 sets up its own WiFi network and acts as a hub (just like a WiFi router) for one or more stations.

However, unlike a WiFi router, it does not have an interface to a wired network. So, this mode of operation is called Soft Access Point (soft-AP). Also, no more than five stations can connect to it at the same time.

In AP mode, the ESP8266 creates a new WiFi network and assigns it an SSID (the network’s name) and an IP address. With this IP address, it can serve web pages to all connected devices.

A loan of $10,000 is to be repaid over a period of eight years. During the first four years, exactly half of the loan principal is to be repaid (along with accumulated compound interest) by a uniform series of payments of A1 dollar per year. The other half of the loan principal is to be repaid over four years, with accumulated interest, by a uniform series of payments of A2 dollar per year, If i=9% per year, what are A1 and A2?

Testing servo motor with arduino

  Testing servo motor with arduino  Components Needed: Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno) Servo motor Jumper wires Steps for Connection: Servo Motor Pins: Ground (GND): Usually the brown or black wire of the servo motor. Power (VCC): Usually the red wire of the servo motor. Control Signal (PWM): Usually the yellow, orange, or white wire of the servo motor. Connecting to Arduino: Ground (GND): Connect the ground wire of the servo motor to one of the GND pins on the Arduino. Power (VCC): Connect the power wire of the servo motor to the 5V pin on the Arduino. Control Signal (PWM): Connect the control signal wire of the servo motor to digital pin 9 on the Arduino, as specified in the code by myservo.attach(9); Connection Arduino  Servo motor  VCC/ 5V Red wire  GND Black Wire  9  Yellow wire Explanation: Ground (GND): This connection ensures that the servo motor and the Arduino share a common ground, which is necessary for proper operation. Power (VCC): The servo motor needs a power supply t

CanSat

  CanSat is a type of small satellite that is designed to fit inside a soda can. These miniature satellites are used for a variety of purposes, including educational projects, scientific research, and commercial applications. The CanSat concept was first developed in 1998 by Bob Twiggs, a professor at Stanford University, and Jordi Puig-Suari, a professor at California Polytechnic State University. They wanted to create a low-cost, hands-on way for students to learn about satellite technology and space science. Since then, CanSats have become a popular platform for educational projects around the world. They are often used in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education programs, where students are tasked with designing, building, and launching their own CanSats. A typical CanSat consists of a soda can-sized container that houses a variety of sensors, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and acceleration sensors. It also includes a small computer, a radio tran
