ESP Web Console

ESP Web Console is simple, standalone, customizable web, realtime control/monitor with WebSocket.

In this demo we use ESP-01S, but the firmware of core can be use on ESP8266 series.

This firmware is mainly for someone who want to upgrade your device(Arduino) with ESP8266, Control and Monitor everything on the Web !

Make your own IoT project with Web App, and share your ideas to everyone on the gitter!

Features

• Create your own styled web.
• Baud setting on the web.
• Max connection of 3~4 devices on the same time.
• Use WebSocket to control instead of AT-command.
• Provide AP/AP+STA WiFi Mode, free to switch standalone/internet usage.
• Actively send data to taget server.
• RealTime transfer data with serial port(TX/RX) between ESP8266 and other device like Arduino.

Restriction

These problem will be optimized in the future!

• Recommend File size of each static files(js,css,html...) after gzip are <7KB.
• Too much js files request on the same time are not recommend.
• Input command too fast will lost sometimes.
• In AP+STA Mode, if the target server not response, the connection will be unstabled.
• Not allowed local network to access ESP8266.

Installation

We provide some combinations to use, Basic and Custom firmware is for ESP-01S.

For other modules you can use the core and upload web files.

Note: make sure of your Module's FS size are enough.

• Connect ESP8266 to computer.(Connection Diagram from google)
• Open Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Port check the serial port of ESP8266.
• Use esptools.py to burn.

  Default SSID:PASSWORD is WEBCOM:12345678 (ESPWC_ModbusRTU SSID: Modbusx)

Initial

esptools.py --port <Serial Port> erase_flash

Basic(For ESP-01S)

esptools.py --port <Serial Port> write_flash 0x0 ESPWC_Main_Simple_1MB_FS192KB.bin

How to use?

simple usage(ESPWC_Main_Simple)

• Connect ESP8266 to computer, open Arduino IDE > Tools > Serial Monitor, you'll see output like this.

  

• Connect ESP8266 WiFi, open browser on http://10.10.10.10

  

• Send @bps: 115200 to set ESP8266 baud(Default), test communication between ESP8266 and Arduino IDE.

  

• Send @AP scan to get WiFi List.

  

• Send @AP connect to connect to the WiFi.

  

• Send @AP connect reset switch to standalone, @AP connect reconnect to reconnect WiFi.

  

• Send @set recv IP:ws.sgiot.com.tw:10000 to set the server address.(ws.sgiot.com.tw is for data transfer test)

Note: In this Demo, ESP8266 send Data per 10 sec

• Test on NEO-6M
