Can you also show how we can put the ESP8266 in AP-Mode (that's access point right?) so that we can connect directly to the micro controller rather than needing a home router. Than could you create a second video on creating a remote from another ESP8266 that connects and speaks to the server? I like the router examples but I'm trying to find ways to take things off my home router and controlling them. I've tried this a few times and can't seem to get it to work :-( I've been able to create the server ESP8266 and can connect and speak to it from my computer or phone but cannot seem to get a second ESP8266 to act as a client and be a remote. You're videos are very helpful and I have been following you for quite some time now! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge with us beginners :-) !!!!!!
@@idukunda_lengo Thank you for sending your code! I replied with another email because I was also hoping you might have an example of not only a D1 acting as a server but a second one make requests to the first one. It was very kind of you to send over your example code and I thank you!
Hey, Boss! Have you tried my two vids on those topics (they're a bit old, so maybe I'm forgetting something): Communication between a client and server (ESP8266): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gZhUi24_qms.html Setting up AP mode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uFjWKhScnVY.html Let me know, thanks as always for watching all of my videos!
Thanks Lengo, I'm glad you liked it! Also, a massive thanks for sharing your wemos code with RGMB. It makes me happy to see our little community that we've built in this channel!
Is there any detailed document available showing the Code for the Web Sockets Robot? The video seems to just provide an overview of generally how the Web Sockets work but there is not enough information to show anyone how to duplicate your project. Maybe that is your intent....to not give away any secrets? I'm afraid I don't see the usefulness of this (and your other videos) other than to show how smart you are. I don't see any way to learn from your work. Am I just not looking in the right place? If I new how to do this stuff already why would I want to watch your videos? Please explain, or point me in the right direction. Thanks
hey, al. thanks for watching the vid. indeed, this video builds on a few others i've made on covering websockets. here's the in-depth explanation about how they work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ROeT-gyYZfw.html hth!
@@datasith Thanks Cisco. I watched some of your other videos on Web Sockets and am now much more enlightened! Wow! WOW! I am amazed at your knowledge of Web Sockets and realize that I was getting in "way over my head"! My "little mass of gray cells" is just not up to the task. I had better stick with things like "blinking LEDs", "turning relays on and off", "reading and printing sensor outputs". I had hope of doing something like "Regular Guy Mountain Biking" below, i.e., transfering data from one ESP to another without a router but am fairly certain I will never be able to comprehend how to do that with Web Sockets, although I am sure that is theoretically possible. just not for a dabbler like me! Thanks for your kind response and good luck with your future RU-vid related "business efforts"!
