Hosting And Accessing Websites from the Raspberry Pi Pico W

@raspberrypi just released the new Wifi enabled version of the Raspberry Pi Pico! This tutorial will show you how to access websites from the Pico, and even host your own!

You should implement HTTP status code 418. Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

Pretty cool!😎 Capturing the MAC of previous connected items would be kind of cool.😎

Very nice so joined your channel, thanks for the intro to pico on the web, and I am looking forward to more as I am new to the Pico.

[FunKingd]

Very cool. The visitor count was funny. I remember in the EARLY days of the public internet that every site had one. That was the current day like button. Speaking of... I clicked the like button. ;)

So fun! Can't wait to see what you build with it 😁

For IoT devices it is convenient to be able to connect them dynamically to the network without having to change the code. I was thinking about a Setup page which is shown when connecting to the pico network, where a simple network selection and Password prompt allows any user to connect it to their own network. Is that possible with the pico? And if, how?

[mtbevins]

Great video! Thank you for this to get me started.

[adambrassard]

Great video! Seems like there will be lots of IoT options for this model!

[MitchD]

I really wish they were in stock locally. I wonder what the limitation is on simultaneous connections since I know it's not that powerful.

[zhouyu]

fantastic!! Can this page hold buttons hook up with code to turn GPIO on and off? that would be awesome!

[gandalfsVater]

How can i adjust the code, so i can simply only show a website without buttons, leds or anything else

[Sportmatchsummary]

Do have any idea, about the power consumption for the module with Wireless on, when using a battery??

Would be great to show the electricity generated from the Solar Power roof.
Access the Growatt cloud and take it from there to Report that constantly in the OLED once a movement had been detected

I've tried many videos and followed the same instructions but for me the code compiles fine but the browser is not able to connect to the server address. I've tried changing the port but no luck. I'm able to get the IP address for my pico w but for some reason the server is not responding. I've tried to ping the ip as well but again no luck.
If someone could suggest something, it will be of great help. Thanks.

Would I be able to use a Raspberry Pi Pico W as a Backup DNS Server to keep my Internet Online if my Raspberry Pi 4 goes Offline? My problem is my Router makes me put in two DNS Addresses so I set them both as the PiHole DNS Addresses I've tried setting the Secondary DNS as Google's DNS but if I do that and turn off my Raspberry Pi 4 it doesn't allow me to connect to the Internet unless I turn the Raspberry Pi 4 back on and with the Prices of Raspberry Pi 4 and even the Raspberry Pi 3 right now I don't really want to spend that amount of money on another one right now if I don't have to?

Is there a way to connect from a different network

[The_Prince]

Greetings. For some reason, whenever I attempt to use port 80 for data transfer with my Pico w, it gives the EADDRINUSE error. However, when I try any other port number, it doesn't recognize the client attempting to connect to it. Are there any alternate port numbers that one could use to avoid such an error?

[duowienermelange]

great stuff, any idea how we can use the second core for background tasks while waiting for incoming connections? I couldn't solve this issue. It seems that s.accept somehow conflicts with multithreading.

Can you drive a unicorn hat HD with this?

Your soldering skills are 733T. You should do a full video on that for guys like me that keep ruining devices.
