ESP8266 + Arduino + database - Control Anything from Anywhere

Make a WIFi connection, uplaod the PHP files and send and get data from an online database and by that control anything from anywhere in the world with WiFi connection. The options are limitless... Just have an idea...

Thank you for properly explaining things from start to end.. Most YouTubers assume people already know about PHP or making a web site, but I do not as I am sure others. So again, thank you for taking the time and doing it properly.

Now I don't know if anyone has spotted this. There is a ***MISTAKE*** in the schematic at 8:11 in the video. The voltage divider is wrongly connected to the Rx pin of the 8266 and pin 11 of the Arduino MEGA. One must disconnect: 1) upper terminal of the 1k resistor from pin 4 of the 8266 and 2) cyan wire from pin 11 of the MEGA and switch them over i.e. the cyan wire goes to the 8266 pin 4 and the upper terminal of the 1k resistor goes to pin 11 of the MEGA. If you leave it as is, no voltage dividing is accomplished and the full 5V level is applied to the Rx pin of the 8266; this can stress the ic to unknown results. Having said that, CONGRATS for one more great video and project!

great video, was able to create the website and uploaded and edited the files and had it working in about a half hour. Your instructions were perfect, thanks. Now I have to do the Arduino stuff.

One of the best channels I’ve ever found. Very grateful for your videos. Greetings from USA.

Thanks for sharing! This project really opens a wide range of possibilities.

this is the needle in the heystack i been searching for! perfect vid!!

Subscribed because finally somebody provided a banana for scale

After that I feel like adding a video on how to host a website on a server and how to make the server in less than ten minutes. But I'd also have to address the firewall and poet forwarding so it was world wide enabled.

Good bit of work there!!!

Hello my friends,
we need to discuss basic website security
please remember that allowing anyone that can see the website access to change it can result in....unexpected consequences
this becomes even more important when you are controlling mechanical items through the website
a basic password will stop the curious, for the determined, more drastic measures are needed
do not rely on obscurity, that is useless for security
that is all.

Seriously your videos really amazed me and I always waiting for your videos...God bless YOU...love from India

Some almost 13 minutes that are very worth it! Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you so much! I am going to make best friends lamp for distance relationships. Your tutorial is the best one I saw on YouTube! I appreciate your work. Good luck with your channel. Subscribed

"Full version" of code will also work on arduino UNO or NANO (ATmega328P) if you store all string in program memory (flash) via "F( )" macro.
e.g.: Serial.println(F("READY TO SEND")); ( or lcd.print(F(...)); )
Like this I reduce the used RAM to 70% (595 bytes left).
Obviously I didn´t test it yet (because I don´t have an ESP Wi-Fi module).

And if it will still cause stability problems you can store other variables (because 45% of program memory are still unused) (e.g.: const char SSID_ESP[] = "..."; const char SSID_KEY[] = "..."; ...) via PROGMEM macro.
e.g.: PROGMEM const char SSID_ESP[] = "...";
but you will need to write a little bit of code e.g.: for(i=0; i<__; i++) or something like this.

Anyway, Electronoobs I really like your awesome videos.

What if the website goes down for some reason or the company shuts or website is hacked that's why I prefer local server over IOT

[fouzaialaa]

Im an embedded systems engineer and i know how much work goes into something like this It would take weeks to do you for your work

[DylanNeo]

Hello Sir, I have been learning arduino lately and I've been lead in my search to this video to try next. I have experience in front and back end web dev (including PHP), so I'm excited to put that knowledge together with Arduino to make something really interesting.

[ochienoeliud]

Great work. Very precise and informative tutorial guides. Lots of thanks

[gregjohnson]

Excellent, works like a charm now I’ll code it for nodemcu and just a couple sensors and home automations is in the bag! Thanks
