 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

There are lots of versions of firmware for the ESP8266 but the simplest is the basic "AT" firmware provided by the chip maker Expressif. The firmware is included in the SDK (1.5.4.1) and can be flashed with their own flash download tool. Details for how to the flash the chip are in the documentation Although there are easier ways of creating a webserver, using for example ESP8266Basic, the AT approach is easy to understand and seems very reliable (tested on Chrome, Edge and IE11). The attached code is for a simple remote controlled thermostat but contains all the elements needed to set up the ESP8266 from "as-flashed" state and connect it to a router.  HTML requests are particularly verbose so I'm using a few of Geoff's excellent long string CFunctions that he includes in the Micromite distribution to allow strings over 255 characters to be parsed and/or printed The key routines in the code are: Command, SendText and EndSend. Command sends an AT sequence to the ESP8266. It includes a timeout and optional search string. In general AT commands indicate success with "OK" and failure with "ERROR". However, some AT commands report OK before completing execution so the optional search string allows you to wait for something other than "OK" to indicate completion. Command returns 1 if successful and 0 if an error or timeout has occurred. An example of using the function is: [code]IF NOT Command("AT+RST", 10000, "WIFI GOT IP") THEN 'reset and check for valid connection[/code] This resets the ESP8266 and waits for up to 10000 msec for the string "WIFI GOT IP" which indicates that the ESP8266 has connected to your network. If this command fails the attached code includes all the commands needed to connect to the network from scratch SendText does what it says. It sends a text string to the network. Typically this would be some HTML. EndSend flushes the output buffer and sends the completion indicator which allows the page on the browser to complete. In the attached code just change the constants CONST SSID$=quote+"mySSID"+quote CONST SSIDPassword$=quote+"mySSIDpassword"+quote to attach to your router. The code also includes a generic HTML request parser which should be generally useful option autorun on Option explicit option default NONE const MaxLen=4096 const max=20 ' Global variables const quote=chr$(34) CONST SSID$=quote+"mySSID"+quote CONST SSIDPassword$=quote+"mySSIDpassword"+quote ' const starttext$="HTTP" const pnf$="<html><body>Page not Found</body></html>" const title$="<html><head><title>Remote Thermostat</title></head><body>" const ending$="</form></body></html>" const form$="<form name='f1' method='get' action='D'>" const h2$="<h2 align='left'>Remote Thermostat V3.0</h2>" const code$="Update Code: <input type='text' name='S' size='6' value='000000'><br>" const tstart$="<p><TABLE BORDER='1' CELLSPACING='0' CELLPADDING='5'>" const heat$="<TR><TD>Heating</TD>" const hon$="<TD BGCOLOR='#ff0000'> On</TD></TR>" const hoff$="<TD BGCOLOR='#00ff00'>Off</TD></TR>" const tend$="</TABLE></p>" const h3$="<TR><TD></TD><TD>Temperature</TD></TR>" const s1$="<TR><TD>Current</TD><TD>" const s2$="<TR><TD>Max</TD><TD>" const s3$="<TR><TD>Min</TD><TD>" const check$="<input name='C' type='checkbox' value='R' onClick='this.form.submit()'> Reset Max/Min" const s4$="<TR><TD>Thermostat</TD>" const s5$="<TD><input name='R' type='radio' checked='checked' value='" const s6$="<TD><input name='R' type='radio' value='" const click$=" 'onClick='this.form.submit()'> " const degree$="°C<br></TD>" const offstr$="Off<br></TD>" const onstr$="On<br></TD>" const ON=1 const off=0 ' ' Set up parameters ' const starttemp=20 'set the lowest temperature on the thermostat select radio buttons const hysteresis=2 ' 2 tenths of a degree either side of the setpoint const waittime=1000 'wait time in readrequest before timeout const password$="123456" 'password to access change mode ' const dspin=26 const relaypin=16 ' Dim arg$(2,max) length 20 DIM FLOAT inbuf(Maxlen\4) 'global input buffer dim string CRLF=chr$(13)+chr$(10) length 2 dim integer IPDno 'global IPD numbers used to ensure transmit is on correct IPD dim integer heater,currenttemp,maxtemp,mintemp,setpoint dim integer nparams dim page$ 'variables used by main loop only DIM obuff$="" 'used to buffer writes to the internet to optimise speed Init: ds18B20 start dspin,3 'measure temp to 0.0625 degree accuracy mintemp=1000 'set to silly value to force reset if not saved maxtemp=-1000 currenttemp=cint(ds18B20(dspin)*10) ds18B20 start dspin,3 var restore 'recover the setpoint and min and max temps if already saved maxmin 'update the maximum and minimum and save them if changed heater=off pin(relaypin)=heater setpin relaypin,dout setpoint=asc("E") pause 2000 'wait for ESP8266 to wake up afer power on open "com1:115200,4096" as #1 close #1 'clear the buffer open "com1:115200,4096" as #1 IF NOT Command("AT",500) THEN END IF NOT Command("AT+RST",10000,"WIFI GOT IP") THEN 'reset and check for valid connection PRINT "Set up WIFI on SSID: ",SSID$ IF NOT Command("AT+CWMODE_DEF=1",5000) THEN END 'set device mode (1=client, 2=AP, 3=both) IF NOT Command("AT+CWLAP",30000) THEN END 'scan for WiFi hotspots printlong(inbuf()) 'output the list of valid networks IF NOT Command("AT+CWJAP_DEF="+SSID$+","+SSIDPassword$,20000,"WIFI GOT IP") THEN END 'connect IF NOT Command("AT+CIFSR",5000) THEN END 'check IP address ENDIF IF NOT Command("AT+CIPMUX=1",5000) THEN END IF NOT Command("AT+CIPSERVER=1",5000) THEN END Print "Connected" main: DO currenttemp=cint(ds18B20(dspin)*10) updateheater ds18B20 start dspin,3 maxmin 'update the maximum and minimum and save them if changed if ReadRequest(waittime) then 'process HTML request page$=ucase$(parsehtmldata$(nparams)) 'parse the html request and get the page requested if page$<>"" then 'real request so do something if page$= "INDEX" then drawpage elseif page$="D" then if nparams<>0 then 'we have parameters to process if arg$(0,0)="S" and arg$(1,0) = password$ then if arg$(0,1)="C" and arg$(1,1)="R" then 'reset the max min to current maxtemp=currenttemp mintemp=currenttemp var save setpoint,maxtemp,mintemp endif if arg$(0,1)="R" then 'change the setpoint and update the heater if applicable setpoint=asc(arg$(1,1)) var save setpoint,maxtemp,mintemp updateheater endif endif endif drawpage else SendText pnf$+crlf+crlf'invalid page endif EndSend 'clear the write buffer and terminate the write endif endif LOOP end ' Function parsehtmldata$(paramcount as integer) local a$,b$ local FLOAT buf(Maxlen\4) local integer inpos,startparam,processargs paramcount=0 inpos=SInstr(inbuf(),"GET /",1) if inpos=0 then parsehtmldata$="" else SMId buf(),inbuf(),inpos+5 inpos=SInstr(buf(),starttext$,1) If inpos>2 Then 'page request found inpos=inpos-2 a$=SGetStr(buf(),1,inPos) inpos=Instr(a$,"?")

Hey matherp. So that web session I see above is that what you are accessing on the ESP8266 unit. Gee I might skip straight to that instead all these other crazy things I had in mind. It looks alot simpler for remote access of my controlled resources. Might take me a bit to learn those CFunctions though. :) Cool Richard |

Here is the latest version with a BME280 used for inside temp/pressure/humidity and a DS18B20 used for the outside temperature  I've also connected the reset line on the ESP8266 to the Micromite to hold it in reset while the power stabilises. Code attached 2016-11-08_110612_ATWIFI.zip They act just like normal Basic functions and are fully documented by Geoff in the PDF in the Micromite distribution |

@matherp Excellent code once again from you which I have got my head round (most of it). Not yet tried it out for real so sorry if the following is a 'silly' question: Can you enlighten me as to the functionality of the 'Update Code' input box on the browser end - thanks |

It is a security feature. Without knowing the 6 digit code you can't reset the max/min temps or change the thermostat setting. In the supplied code it is set to "123456" but should of course be changed before use. |

Just do it all in the esp8266. You shouldn't need the maximite at all. Plenty of examples out there. |

In trying this very nice piece of software I was stumped for a while with this error while running on an Explore64 with MMBasic 5.3b: Page$=UCase$(parsehtmldata$(nparams)) Error: Invalid syntax I finally figured out that "Page" is now a command. Changing all instances to "pageX" fixed that. Now I have an error sending the html back to the browser.

Other than removing the calls to the BME280 (and setting appropriate values for data from it), I didn't make any changes to the parsing code. I'm connecting with a ESP-001. The program says it has connected. In response to my browser request of http://192.168.1.201:1234/INDEX (which the line after "Connected" indicates id being received), I get "The 192.168.1.201 page isn’t working".

Ok, it was a rendering issue. Firefox considered the page to be text, and showed the raw html. Chrome sent back to the ESP8266 that what had been sent to it was invalid, so I got the messages, "ERROR : AT+CIPSEND=0,239". IE, Opera, and Safari figured it out and rendered the raw html appropriately. Adding this line at the beginning of sub drawpage made it so that it works in all 5 browsers: sendText "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"+crlf+"Content-type: text/html"+crlf+"Connection: close"+crlf+crlf PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Looks like they have changed something on Chrome. I did all my development using it and had no issues. Anyway, very well diagnosed  - sorry I couldn't help  |

I note your use of these CSUBs and CFUNCTIONs: CSub SAddStr float, string CFunction SGetStr(float, integer, integer) string CSub SClear float CSub SMid float, float, integer, integer CFunction SInstr(float, string, integer) integer CFunction SLen(float) integer They appear to use arrays of float to hold characters (bytes), and these functions operate in a similar manner to the similarly-named string functions. Where are these CSUBs and CFUNCTIONs described? PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
