Simple Relay Control with ESP32, Smartphone, and Netconn (Explained) | #IoT #IoTuesday
Installment #14 from lucadentella’s ESP32 tutorial repository on GitHub shows how to control a relay from a web page interacted with via a smartphone touchscreen. Luca does a brilliant job on his blog of explaining netconn and the breakdown of how the webserver operates on the ESP32.
One of the most popular projects among the ones included in my tutorial about the enc28j60 chip is fore sure WebRelay. This project allows to control an output pin of Arduino using a simple web page, designed to be accessed also using your smartphone. Today I’m going to show you how to implement a similar project with the esp32 chip; it’s also the opportunity to teach how to write a TCP server, especially a web server.

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, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, 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.
