From the Forums: Simple Web-Enabled On/Off Switch for #Arduino
Inspired by the Lockitron door lock, this web switch connected to some Arduino somewhere is as simple as it gets: it’s either on, or it’s off. (Funny too, someone else was playing with the switch while I was grabbing a screenshot!)
Basically this is a switch that uses AJAX to submit data to a PHP file every time that its clicked, and if someone else opens the button in their browser and clicks it, it will also move on your browser (open it on your phone and desktop at the same time to see it working).
I have an arduino turning an LED on and off in sync with this switch but for more important operations you might want to add a password
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
