Circuit Diagram
The ESP8266 doesn’t require additional components for this experiment; it uses its built-in Wi-Fi functionality.
Steps for the Experiment
- Write a program to configure the ESP8266 as an HTTP server.
- Upload the program to the ESP8266 and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
- Access the server via a browser using the ESP8266's IP address.
- Observe the response from the server.
Explanation
The ESP8266 can act as an HTTP server, responding to HTTP requests from a client (like a web browser), and providing an interface for controlling or monitoring devices.
Results and Observations
- The web page hosted by the ESP8266 should display content or provide control options.
