We all love Microcontrollers and Smartphones. Unfortunately, they do not work well together because not everybody can create Smartphone apps and connect them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to an ESP32. Arduinos are even more complicated because they do not offer communication. This is why I like the project I will show you today: Its name is RemoteXY. Of course, it uses the Arduino IDE!

I love ESP32 RemoteXY projects. One project was to make a remote loadcell calibration test meter located in a hazard room. Then display the 0 to 25,000lbs readings on a smart-phone at the operator station to compare the HMI touch-screen readings for accuracy. Omega DPS20-HV-RTU 6 digit panel meter with Modbus RTU output was used. The esp32 read the Modbus values and transmitted the Bluetooth results to the free RemoteXY smart-phone app. It worked very well. The project price was much cheaper than other professional wireless systems. After working it seemed simple with a learning curve. 😎 Thank you so much for this very interesting video. I am still learning.

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

@gamerpaddy Год назад

a long while ago, before the esp8266 days i used a hc05 bluetooth serial module on the arduino site and a android app made in app inventor (its free and doesnt have limits like remotexy), its a like lego building blocks, visual programming, no code needed and can be debugged in realtime on the phone. worked quite well.

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

I heard of app inventor a few years ago. But recently no more. Is it still up-to-date? I liked that the BLE stuff on the ESP32 is properly handled by this app because I found it not easy to program.

@gamerpaddy Год назад

its still working, my old projects (2015) are even still there and seem to work. just logged in, they seem to have added quite a bit more blocks by now. not sure if it can do BLE, ive used normal bluetooth serial for this. but only the sending part, havent tried the receiving end. but Appinventor fails at very complex things, like i tried to build an app that loads an image, scales it down and converts its pixels to bytes and sends it over bluetooth to a esp32 that saves it on a sdcard to display later. couldnt figure out how to do this with the available blocks.

An Excellent presentation, as always! I am using a very similar product called GUI-O, which appears at first glance to work in a similar way. My project involves collecting data from ground-based magnetometers and GNSS devices to capture Ionospheric disturbances and shifts in total electron content (TEC) due to solar emissions. Using this product allows me to configure and collect data from my instruments either locally or using MQTT communications relayed by a simple broker running on my own Virtual Private Server (VPS - Akamai/Linode) running in the cloud. The pricing model is slightly different but modest. It requires very little in the way of development/startup cost. This approach allows me to expand the user base at little more than $10/user (paid by the user) and allows almost unlimited expansion.

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

You have a cool project! I hardly understand what your project does. But it seems to be a perfect fit for a local project where you want to influence the ESP with a Smartphone. I will have a look at GUI-O. Thanks for the hint.

@Zeusbeer Год назад

A really simple solution is to use a usb-c to usb-a adapter and you can use your phone as a serial monitor (I think android has an app, I am not sure about Apple), I have used that in the past and it worked quite amazingly although its a bit cumbersome. Its not the same as remote controlling the Arduino obviously, however it can be useful for quickly testing something outside without requiring a battery.

Great app and video. I've always been looking for an app that makes controlling an ESP32 as easy as demonstrated in this video. This would really improve my teaching at school since the daunting task of programming a web server is no longer necessary. The only real downside is the 5 item limit and the pricing. In public education it is always a great advantage to be able to use an app without any incentive to buy additional features, especially since the students in my case are minors. If there is a similarly easy-to-use free alternative, I would be very grateful for any recommendation...

Very cool tool/app, which I'm looking at for use in a class project (or at least something in the toolbelt)! The bluetooth connection with my cheap esp32 board is quite flaky, but as I've only used these boards for wled through wifi in the past, I'm inclined to blame the board. One unfortunate thing about the lib is servo support. While the site has projects that show use of servos, the code provided isn't clear to me how to integrate. For anything non-servo, this is amazing out of the box!

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

I assume you have to write the integration, which seems to be simple to me. A servo only needs a number passed from the app to the servo function. I am sure you will find it out.

@McTroyd Год назад

Pretty neat. Hopefully the revenue from those subscriptions will make it possible for them to add additional support for boards. I've never been part of the Espressif ecosystem -- went straight from the ATmega328 to the RP2040. Would love the latter to be supported.

It works well right now, but I'm a little worried about the dashboard app (closed source, no custom widgets) limitations for the future.

Also is it possible to make an led blink on and off a couple times when a push button is pressed because as of now, it just turns on and then off.

Great to see another video and one about something i already know!! hahah... I am trying to get RemoteXY setup so i can congifure the wifi settings on my esp32 via bluetooth.. having some issues, are you able to help with that??

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

WiFi and BLE on one ESP are not easy. I would expect problems (and probably would go the WiFi way in your case)

@dans-designs Год назад

@@AndreasSpiess thanks for the recommendation.. after a few day of searching it seems the esp32 doesnt like having wifi and ble on at the same time. I have found a method of using one at a time by turning the other one off first.. this kind of works but i was hoping to use a text field entry on the RemoteXY app to store the wifi credentials on the ESP32 in variables and then switch to wifi but the variables are not getting the right info for the credentials..

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

Bluetooth and WiFi use the same internal radio...

Hi Andreas, do you know if RemoteXY can do a one-to-many (one ESP32 to a mix of Android(s) and iPhone(s) devices). We have a long driveway and I'm setting up a motion detection system PIR sensors. I would like to notify each phones from my ESP32 app. Thanks, Jim.

Interesting video, as always, thank you. I suppose the core of the library/app combination is really pretty simple and allows you to really quickly put something together in ways that would be very difficult if you weren't already into NodeRed or, as many of us are, thanks to your long line of videos, producing acceptable JS http pages from the ESP. I think you are right that it would be great for education, as proof of principle can be built really easily with the teaching emphasis being on the code logic and not all bound up in why the UI elements don't quite work. A really good idea. A long time ago now I used the MIT AppInventor to build two Android apps to control my central heating (ESP8266) and an array of 433.92MHz wireless mains switches, also ESP 'hubbed'. That handled the http aspects for me (at the phone end) with the ESP hosting a simple endpoint and that gave me the simple UI I wanted. It must be what, 5-7 years ago now and I wonder how much the AppInventor has grown since.

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

Others also compared it with App Inventor. I think they has somehow similar goals. This one is probably better integrated into the Arduino IDE.

@iantill Год назад

@Andreas Spiess I agree completely, AppInventor doesn't have any linkage whatsoever to Arduino, the delta between them is that integration, which looks very simple in the app you demonstrated.

@steveyoutube1709 Год назад

this is EXCELNT!, as a novice i pounded out my first project.... i do have 1 problem, my inputs are analog (0-5v) pressures, by the esp32s3 is 0-3.3v... resistor divider? what about the limits .5v and 4.5v does that scale too?

@AndreasSpiess Год назад

Yes, you need a voltage divider (in: 5 volts, out 3.3volts. And you can create one that creates output voltages up to 4.5V. The ESP will not love this one ;-) I do not think it is easy to create one that starts at 0.5 because of ground reference.

@steveyoutube1709 Год назад

i figured out the scaling (bidirectional level shifter boards.. has 4 channels of resistors ).. note, i had to use 12v supply so the regulated 5v is correct (not 4.8v using usb) can't figure out how to pass data from my iphone (accelerometer, and gps data) to the ESP32... any hints?

Any chance to get some sensors connected to esp32 and be able to use android apps to read these sensors? For example Raspberry Pi 4 Android 14 has no sensors, but I need GPS and 9dof and BME680, is it possible to use remotexy to connect to other android apps? If so, how?

@AndreasSpiess Месяц назад

If you use Android on the Pi, I assume you have to use python or c to read the sensors.

@michaelksiezopolski Месяц назад

@@AndreasSpiess I can use C or C++, but there are no drivers for android to run sensors, I was wondering if I could create like esp32 sensor box and connected it to raspberry and provide streaming of sensor data to applications on raspberry pi
