After going through at least 30 tutorials on UA-cam, yours was the first one that went step by step and made me understand a bit what each of these commands do, thank you very much Cisco!!
after many other UA-cam videos i though i have to ready full books myself to understand .. till i got to your videos (calm and step by step) ... now i understand everything.... you are the EVER BEST ... thanks bro
Wow! A really excellent video. I really liked your technique of building and testing your code one step at a time, to incrementally verify that each feature you added was working correctly. Bravo!
Very nice video!!! Works with an ESP32 (specifically, I have the ESP-WROOM-32 ESP-32s board) with the only changes being the library names. I had to change ESP8266WiFi.h to WiFi.h and ESP8266WebServer.h to WebServer.h. Thank you so much for the time you take to share this information! The audio is very crisp and clear in this, which makes following along easy. As a bonus, now that I have it working, the family is impressed and excited for it's applications (remote control custom lights / remote cat treat dispenser). Thanks once again!
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you found the content useful! Thanks so much for sharing details about your project, it makes me happy that you got it done as well as gathered interest in your project from the fam. If you ever post projects online, let me know and I'd be happy to take a look!
Thanks for the kind words, Stephen! We're working hard on producing content that's useful for people interested in DIY Electronics. Glad to hear that our efforts are paying off :)
Yes, it's definitely the best ESP8266 video I've seen. And, trust me, I've seen nearly every one of them and none of them are this helpful and easy to understand. LOL! :-)
As instructional videos, yours are great! While a lot of other videos assume that the viewer already knows the basics, you took a different and the correct approach of explaning every single necessary detail. I cannot thank you enough!
Great tutorial! Just annoying how when you're typing code, the camera keeps cutting to you... hard to stop at the right moment and copy your code. When you're typing code, keep the camera on the screen! :D
Best video ever...thank you so much. 1million times better than any other wifi module type tutorial video. Clear, simple, and easy to follow along with. Definitely subscribing to you.
I think your playlist for "tips and tricks for ESP8266" contains videos in reverse order. Do change it so that complete beginners can easily understand the order👍. After seeing the description of the NEO project video,only I got to know that this one is actually the previous one to be seen first.
Sweet!!!, on/off code trick using "!" in digitalWrite(pin_led, !digitalRead(pin_led)); I came across this in another snippet of your code and was scratching my head about it's purpose. Really helped to have you confirm what it was doing. Thanks!!!
WOW, I have tried other tutorials and had no success, but this has been explained clearly, now it WORKS and i understand it. Fantastic well done. Thank you
Great tutorial, thank you so much for your videos. You really explain all of the functions and jargon in the code and make it much easier to learn. I like your esp8266 OTA video very much also. In that video you referred to your next video being able to send code via OTA at any time without needing to reset. I'm struggling to figure out how to update code. For example I'd like to add new firmware to update my led controllers to change virtual pin settings etc.
Thanks so much for the kind comment. It makes me really happy that you find the content useful! Funnily enough, I'm working on the second OTA video right now, and should have it published next week-a few viewers are waiting for it, so I'll put in my best effort and hope you all like it!
Thanks for the videos. They are very helpful. The use of 204 response code instead of 200 was very useful. The logic in your script is by far the easiest to understand. What I need now, though, is a way to have a html link or button trigger the toggleLED function instead. I want the page to offer the same functionality, but without typing into the URL or having to build a client side phone app. I only need about 10 buttons and it seems I can reuse whatever logic is needed. Thanks!
Sorry I missed this comment, UA-cam finally lets us sort by "Comments I haven't responded to" so I'm going through the list. Have you looked at the Websockets videos? It's by far the easiest way to get data back and forth from a web client and the ESP8266 (ua-cam.com/video/ROeT-gyYZfw/v-deo.html). Let me know if you can adapt the code to your needs, or otherwise I can give you a better example. Feel free to ping me on Patreon any time!
great tutorial for learning esp8266. Thumbs up thumbsup. I just got stuck by playing your tutorial from 1-9... lol . But it was fine when i tried to see the last video.
Excellent tutorial but because I am a greenhorn you caught me up on one thing and it took me a day of searching to find my mistake. The mistake was that in order to get the "toggle" to work one has to enter the ip address/toggle on the browser and not just the ip address alone. Nonetheless keep up the great tutorials!
Thank you for this tutorial! Its like you read my mind and told me only what i needed to know lol, the wifes oven is going to be wifi controlled now, the control board went bad, way cheaper to use one of these than a new board.
Really Awesome video, man. Subbed! I've picked up two ESP8266 to help me control my garage door via wifi and to show me the status of my garage doors whilst I'm away. (to my phone). Still need to get the fundamentals down though.
Thanks Vik, glad our team's effort has been useful to you! Fun projects like those you mention are definitely in the queue. As you've realized though, we're making sure we post stuff that covers the fundamentals first :)
github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/esp8266wifi/server-examples.md The link above will explain all you need for this project. Just change the String(analogRead(A0)) to a pin input for status of your garage door limit switch. Function below is the response of the ESP8266 as server to the client. String prepareHtmlPage() { String htmlPage = String("HTTP/1.1 200 OK ") + "Content-Type: text/html " + "Connection: close " + // the connection will be closed after completion of the response "Refresh: 5 " + // refresh the page automatically every 5 sec " " + "" + "" + "Analog input: " + String(analogRead(A0)) + "" + " "; return htmlPage; }
I love your videos you talk at a good speed with a good description of the code you are writing but I don't know if it is me but your text is blue on a black background and it is very hard to see so it makes it hard to follow your code? thanks, Bob
thanks for your clear tutorials! I'm trying to add web functionality to my ESP8266 and these videos help a lot. However, I have noticed that I don't need to add the ESP8266WiFi.h to my sketch, only adding ESP8266WebServer.h works too. Do I really need the ESP8266WiFi.h?
Good video , well explained. I have a problem, I can control the esp8266 only if my phone or pc is connected to the same wifi network .How can i control the esp8266 out of the wifi network. please advise.
Hey, Mikko. Using a full-feature editor can be useful when writing longer programs, but it's only a matter of preference. I like *Vim* because all editing operations can be done using keystroke combinations, and I've been using it for a looooong time. These days, a popular one to try is *Sublime Text* if you'd like. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the informative video, May i know why do you have to use Terminal Vi to write the coding ? Why can't just directly type into the Arduino IDE ?
Heya! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. It's a matter of preference. We use Vim for a lot of different tasks (e.g., when working on our remote servers) so we're very familiar with it. Other popular text editors for programmers/developers include Sublime Text. However, the Arduino IDE's built-in editor works great too! Note that as your programs become more complex, the external editors have functionality that makes life a lot easier.
Hi, very nice tutorial. You mentioned that we can connect an other hardware and I wonder if there is a chance to connect USB laser printer, so I can use it as a network printer? If so, what is need it, how exactly it can communicate? Thank you very much for your tutorials and looking forward to see more.
For this, the easiest way would be to use a Raspberry Pi, which gives you an entire Operating System for high level operations like network sharing and such. Best of luck!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! Could you please also let me know where I can find documentation on ESP8266WebServer? (because Arduino IDE doesn't have autocomplete, I need to now which functionality I'm able to use and how)
Good tutorial but I have a problem. It connects to the wifi and prints an IP address, but when I plug it into my browser it never loads. Do you know why this is happening?
Thanks! Are you using the browser on mobile or a computer? Make sure the ESP8266 and other device are on the same network. Also, make sure you call the server.begin() method. HTH!
I tried this and everything seem to have gone very well and i see the ip address on the serial monitor. However, when i goto IE and Chrome and type the ip adress it is not responding. wondering what i am doing wrong.... Thanks
Hmm that's strange. In your computer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you should be able to navigate to esp8266.ip.address/ using the ip address you're seeing and the browser should display the "Hello World" message. If you try the /toggle path, then nothing occurs on the browser, but the LED should toggle on and off. Hope that helps!
Hello, I've been having some trouble getting things working on my ESP. I have a version 1 board connected to an arduino that is connected to the USB port. Is there anyway around this? Will I need to get some other form of USB connection to the ESP Module so that I can upload this to it directly? and if I do will I be able to control my arduino with the functions in the same way? The reason I'm using an arduino uno is because I have a motor shield attached and my final goal will be to control a stepper motor from a remote location. Thank you, awesome video... one of the clearest I've found on explaining the ESP Module and the Wifi library.
Thanks for the kind words! The ESP-01 doesn't have a built-in USB-to-Serial chip so you'll always need either an Arduino or a dedicated board for this functionality. Alternatively you could use Over-The-Air (OTA) programming for loading your sketches to the ESP-01 without a wired connection. If instead of using an Arduino Motor Shield you switch to a standard Motor Controller breakout board you can wire it to the ESP8266 and eliminate the need for the Arduino altogether. There's nothing wrong with your current setup, but our suggestion will simplify things a bit, having to worry only about a single microcontroller!
Hi Cisco... Your tutorals are best and on point. Easy to understand. I want to know if we can send an empty response in this method" server.send(200, “text/plain”, “Other URL”); " I do not want to take client to anyother page but to keep on the same. Your help will be really appreciated.
Really didn't see the point of making directories and writing code in a terminal window. Why not just do it through the OS and the Arduino IDE? Or is this some weird Apple limitation? Also, as a drinking game, take a shot every time he says "go ahead". You won't last very long.
Hi Cisco, first of all thank you for making very informative videos. I am trying to connect my NodeMCU 0.9 to my mobile hotspot but not able to connect, I am following all the steps and used the same code that you have used for your case. Please help me in this regard.
Excellent video. Your video has led me to buy a module for experiment. Now the question comes, for working in Arduino environment, what firmware or bootloader that I need to install to the ESP8266 board? Where could I download the bootloader and firmware file for this purpose? TYIA...
The Arduino IDE allows you to upload your own firmware (the code that you write). You don't need a bootloader or a pre-compiled firmware file. Check out our other videos for how to get started. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful, thanks so much a very good tutorial, very helpful and well explained. Today I try to do it with my esp8266 Thanks a lot I have subscribed the channel
If we are in a building where they have a network name and each individual has their own username and password to log in to the network, what would be the ssid? Would there be another variable?
I am a great Fan of your videos, especially 8266. Would you please, do some videos on interfacing CCTV cams with 8266, so it can stream videos. One more project would be play from 8266 12E, internal 4M memory mp3 or wav files without using external active components. (No TF cards, and serial players) Any help would be welcome.. Please do some video on Range testing inside buildings... Regards
Thank you for this very nice and clear video. When I tested the WiFi connection, on the serial monitor, i could see the dot point endlessly showing up but no IP adress appearing, could it mean a problem with the WiFi on my nodeMCU?
Yup, that usually means that there was something wrong with your credentials (ssid/password). That's not the only reason, but definitely the lack of IP address indicates that the ESP8266 hasn't connected to the router yet!
After going through at least 30 tutorials on UA-cam, yours was the first one that went step by step and made me understand a bit what each of these commands do, thank you very much Cisco!!

Hello, I've been having some trouble getting things working on my ESP. I have a version 1 board connected to an arduino that is connected to the USB port. Is there anyway around this? Will I need to get some other form of USB connection to the ESP Module so that I can upload this to it directly? and if I do will I be able to control my arduino with the functions in the same way?
The reason I'm using an arduino uno is because I have a motor shield attached and my final goal will be to control a stepper motor from a remote location.
Thank you, awesome video... one of the clearest I've found on explaining the ESP Module and the Wifi library.
Thanks for the kind words!
The ESP-01 doesn't have a built-in USB-to-Serial chip so you'll always need either an Arduino or a dedicated board for this functionality. Alternatively you could use Over-The-Air (OTA) programming for loading your sketches to the ESP-01 without a wired connection.
If instead of using an Arduino Motor Shield you switch to a standard Motor Controller breakout board you can wire it to the ESP8266 and eliminate the need for the Arduino altogether. There's nothing wrong with your current setup, but our suggestion will simplify things a bit, having to worry only about a single microcontroller!
Good one man... thanks
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
Hi Cisco... Your tutorals are best and on point. Easy to understand.
I want to know if we can send an empty response in this method" server.send(200, “text/plain”, “Other URL”); "
I do not want to take client to anyother page but to keep on the same.
Your help will be really appreciated.
Yes you can, you can use the HTTP code 204 for an empty response "". Thanks for watching, and for the kind words!
Really didn't see the point of making directories and writing code in a terminal window. Why not just do it through the OS and the Arduino IDE? Or is this some weird Apple limitation?
Also, as a drinking game, take a shot every time he says "go ahead". You won't last very long.
Nice video great background music in the intro part which one is that?
Can't remember the exact name of the track, but it's made by the awesome audionautix.com/. Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
well understand suitable for beginner, thanks for this video .
where i can learn the codes you mentioned "eg: web server library "
harish kk thanks for watching! All the links are in the description of videos. Let us know if we missed anything.
Hi Cisco, first of all thank you for making very informative videos. I am trying to connect my NodeMCU 0.9 to my mobile hotspot but not able to connect, I am following all the steps and used the same code that you have used for your case. Please help me in this regard.
Hmm, strange, I'm not sure why. I'm always able to connect to mobile hotspots running on either iOS or Android. Double check your credentials!
organised work
good, keep up
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful.
Excellent video. Your video has led me to buy a module for experiment. Now the question comes, for working in Arduino environment, what firmware or bootloader that I need to install to the ESP8266 board? Where could I download the bootloader and firmware file for this purpose? TYIA...
The Arduino IDE allows you to upload your own firmware (the code that you write). You don't need a bootloader or a pre-compiled firmware file. Check out our other videos for how to get started. Thanks for watching!
Gotcha. Thanks...
How to do the same thing when my system and esp8266 are not connected in same network??
See our other videos, such as the one where we use Cayenne:
ua-cam.com/video/6YAnqHTm7_o/v-deo.html
Excellent. I should have started here instead of the other one I commented on. +1
👍
Wonderful, thanks so much a very good tutorial, very helpful and well explained.
Today I try to do it with my esp8266
Thanks a lot
I have subscribed the channel
hey! thanks for the subscription, i'm glad you find the video useful!
If we are in a building where they have a network name and each individual has their own username and password to log in to the network, what would be the ssid? Would there be another variable?
Nah, the security of those networks (WPA2 Enterprise) is currently not supported. Maybe in the future.
How can we make this server public so we can access it from all over the world?
I am a great Fan of your videos, especially 8266. Would you please, do some videos on interfacing CCTV cams with 8266, so it can stream videos.
One more project would be play from 8266 12E, internal 4M memory mp3 or wav files without using external active components. (No TF cards, and serial players)
Any help would be welcome..
Please do some video on Range testing inside buildings...
Regards
We'll add the range testing to our queue, thanks for watching!
Thank you for this very nice and clear video. When I tested the WiFi connection, on the serial monitor, i could see the dot point endlessly showing up but no IP adress appearing, could it mean a problem with the WiFi on my nodeMCU?
Yup, that usually means that there was something wrong with your credentials (ssid/password). That's not the only reason, but definitely the lack of IP address indicates that the ESP8266 hasn't connected to the router yet!
I know I'm late to the party but why use an external editor? It looks like your just using the equivalent to a Windows command prompt window?
I just asked the same question. Seems dumb and more potential for typos.
I can't seem to get this code to work. The only thing I needed to change was ssid and password, correct
double-check your code.
