Happy Saturday first.
I'm currently trying to set up a web server with a Wemos D1 mini module.
Actually, I have a clone from Amazon: IZOKEE ESP8266 ESP-12F.
But that shouldn't be the problem, should it?
Well, anyway, I downloaded one or two sample sketches from the Internet and tried them out with both.
I manage to load the sketch onto the board, i.e. Via micro USB connection, not yet connected to the Arduino.
I can load the sketch. My network data is stored in the sketch. I have created a hotspot on the laptop, in which the esp 8266 appears. The serial monitor indicates that the chip is connected to the network and that the web server is now accessible. However, if I then copy the ejected IP address, which matches the one displayed in the laptop, the page does not load. I copy the IP into Chrome and after a short loading time I get the message that the page is not accessible.
I don't know what to do now that I've played around with pretty much every shot and watched pretty much every tutorial.
Vlt. Does anyone know the solution here or has suggestions that I could still try. If you have any questions, please contact me.
So when this error comes up, it can mean that the web server is not working or that it is not reaching the esp itself. I don't know how that works with the hotspot, so whether you can communicate with a device that is connected to the hotspot of your laptop via the laptop.
Can't you connect the esp to the same network your laptop is connected to? Otherwise you can connect your cell phone to the hotspot on your laptop and enter the IP address on your cell phone
I hope you understand what I want to tell you. If it still doesn't work, feel free to ask me
Thanks for the answer.
Yes, that's an idea I'll try first. So also go to the hotspot of the laptop with the mobile phone. If that doesn't improve, I'll integrate the esp directly into the network, vlt. That helps.
Okay, I have now registered with the mobile phone in the hotspot and now it works. Thanks for the help.
Next I want to output sensor data from the Arduino via the web server. I fox myself into the whole thing, if I have any questions, I'll get in touch.
Great project, you are welcome to ask me or send me a friend request.
