ESP8622 Webinterface for Local Variables

This manual will show you how you can edit ( get /set) local variables and local values , from a browser.

benefit : no need to use uart and change the lua-code to change parameters , like eg : ssid pasword , or whatever you want to edit , in real time..

Tools needed.

Hardware :

• ESP8622-01
• usb to TTL adaptor

Software :

• ESPlorer link
• nodemcu firmware : lua firmware
• code lua : download

Testmovie :

here : youtube

1. download the code: here :
2. open ESPlorer
3. open the code
4. edit your SSID and SSID pasword to yours
5. press :"save to esp"
6. hard reboot , restart your ESPmodule

In the ESPLORER window you get the DHCP IP address from the ESP.

use this ip into your browser.

press GET , to see the initial values from the ESP to the browser.

press SET , to change the local values from the browser to the ESP

code is written to use with firefox

i tested also in chrome , but chrome did 2times a get request. , so tweak the code to use with chrome.

or download firefox here.

the local value is sended to the html-page , parsed out , and stored in the local.

also

the local is send in the ESP webserver , via a form-tag

local var1 = "initvar1"

the value is set into a input textform :

input type=\"text\" name=\"p1\" value=\"".. var1.."\"

parsed out

positiep1 = string.find(req_data, "p1")

valuep1 = (string.sub(req_data, positiep1+3, positiep2-2))

and saved to the ESP memory as local variable

var1 = valuep1
