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?

IOT based Weather monitoring system

IOT based Weather monitoring system Introduction In today's world, the importance of accurate and real-time weather monitoring cannot be overstated. Weather conditions significantly impact various aspects of life, from agriculture and transportation to disaster management and daily activities. With the advancement of technology, it is now possible to develop sophisticated yet affordable weather monitoring systems that can provide real-time data and alerts. One such innovative approach involves using the NodeMCU microcontroller and the DHT11 sensor. This project aims to design and implement a weather monitoring system that leverages these technologies to measure and report environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity. Objectives The primary objectives of this project are as follows: Design and Implementation: To design and implement a reliable weather monitoring system using the NodeMCU microcontroller and the DHT11 sensor. Real-time Data Acquisition: To acquire...

An apartment complex wishes to establish a fund at the end of 2004 that, by the end of the year 2021, will grow to an amount large enough to place new roofs on its 39 apartment units. Each new roof is estimated to cost $2,500 in 2019, at which time 13 apartments will be reroofed. In 2020, another 13 apartments will be reroofed, but the unit cost will be $2,625. The last 13 apartment will be reroofed in 2021 at a unit cost of $2,750. The annual effective interest rate that can be earned on this fund is 4%. How much money each year must be put aside (saved), starting at the end of 2005, to pay for all 39 new roofs? State any assumptions you make.
