We did some exercises to connect a µ-controller to the internet via Eblocks.
But I don't have the examples from that workshop any more.
Now that I have my ESP8266 running with the Flowcode component I think it's time to gather more examples that I can use to make my Eblocks communicate with the outside world.
I'm not looking for connections to the internet, if I can get stuff running in my own house this would be great.
In the ESP8266 examples I used the TCP-IP server that contains an example to switch a IO via a HTML page.
This works.. but not that great. The "processing" page keeps reloading and nothing else happens.
Now I want to gather examples that I (and other users) can use to connect the µ-controller to the outside world.
A few things I'm searching:
- How can I show an variable from the controller in a webpage (how do I emmbeded a variable in a HTM page).
- How can I make a page with several switches in 1 HTM page and make the controller to set the IO's to these switches. (how can I switch multiple lights via a HTM-page)
- Is it possible to send an email when an event occurs? (if a button is pressed, I receive an email)
- Can I receive the time from a NIST server?
- How can I show the current status of some inputs on the controller into a webpage?
And so on.
If these things work in my own network I can export these to the outside world and view them on the internet.
Please share all your thoughts and examples in this post so everybody can make use of them
