Simple Arduino Web Server on ESP-07/ESP-12 Tutorial

This simple tutorial shows how to program a common ESP module with a Arduino sketch providing a simple web server to you local network.

ESP Arduino SDK:

Links to the parts (I get small cut at no extra cost for you):

after many hours of websearching and troubleshooting, this video FINALLY got me able to do something with this module. THANKS!

I was up to buy the NodeMCU model but then found this video and literally saved my life <3 Thank you so much, bro!

I tried many tutorials. but without success. Your tutorial is very great!!! and it works. Thank you so much! Currently you are my Hero. :)

This video is a really good one, you showed exactly, what I need for my ESP-12-F, I always forgot to pull-down/GND the GPIO15 as I thought, this has no real importance, but grounding it and pulling-up Reset solved my issue to finally enter the bootloader-flash-mode, when grounding GPIO0. So now it's up and running and I'm so happy and can proceed now :-)!
So good video, well filmed, thank you very much!

...many thanks. Simple concise explanation of how to get quickly up and running, now to enhance the sketch to do the necessary. Very useful, greatly appreciated, bravo!

Very well done. I've seen other videos on how to wire this, but, that all had additional component, like resistors, capacitors, etc. I will DEFIANTLY give you example a try first!

Mas de una hora buscando, el tuyo va perfecto, gracias

[hyrolution]

Thank you soo much! The wiring diagram was exactly what I needed. Working like a charm :)

I have a serious problem with this board because I see my target but once and the other times that I try I failed, I try to build a web server and control 4led matrix with esp 8266 e12 and then just 2 of4 led matrix is on. Can you tell me some clue to solve this problem?

[erikjorpes]

As usual very good stuff, though I prefer not having the music. Thanks!

[DarrenHedlund]

Perfect! Worked the first try. thank you

i have an esp 8266 and a i2c 16, 2 lcd, i have made a text box thats
suppose to display the user input to lcd screen but i dont know how to
grab that user input and put that data inside a variable for displaying
on lcd with the lcd command, it sais filenot found on the actual lcd
display so im half way there how do i use the posted user data? without
using any sd card!

Hi Mr Loony....I realy need to get up to speed on this stuff so checking out your earlier vids !

[marcodatola]

Hi i'm getting espcomm_upload_mem_fail error. does anyone know why?

[KararEsamAkram]

thank you very much ... that was very helpful
i hope you can make more tutorial videos about ESP

Great video, easy to understand and follow.
I am able to upload the HelloServer.ino sketch, but on removal of the gpio0 -> GND connection, does not work as intended. I see no debugging information in the serial window. Any idea on why that may be happening?

[Stav_Bodik]

The blinking led not working to you because this example is for esp 01, for esp 12 please use pinMode(2, OUTPUT) GPIO2 led pin

while trying to read the page details from a local server using GET everytime a problem "busy s...." is returned to the COM.... do you have any solution to this?

[williamquigley]

Great work...this really helped me out! Danke!
