IOT projects

---

The project consists of three parts

• ESP8266 firmware

  The ESP8266 is a small chip which includes a MCU as well as the wireless module .By connecting to the TCP server , it makes possibility to remote control the MCU through the Web UI

  

  ​

• workerman TCP server

  TCP server serves as the bridge which connects the MCU and the Web UI

  

  ​

• Web UI

  Web UI is a interface that vividly shows the control of the MCU

Setup TCP server with workerman framework

• Download to computer

  

• Start up the TCP server

  

  When it goes successfully ,it will show like this:

  

  • Remember the TCP server port : 8282

---

Upload firmware to ESP8266

• Download

  

• When you download the code ,remember to modify your own TCP server host as well as the TCP server port

  

  • host :host can be read by running cmd.exe and input ipconfig

    

  • port :port can be read on workeman TCP server

    

• Connect ESP8266 to computer COM and open Arduino IDE to upload the firmware

Deploy the Web UI (Mobile version)

• Here I use the phpstudy to setup the server(PHP+NGINX+MYSQL)

• Run the server and view the url

Realize remote controlling

• Let ESP8266 connect to WIFI by smartconfig

  moer information about smartconfig

  

• Power on and control it
