Port to ESP32 #5

Hi All,

I'm not much of a programmer but I was wondering if anyone knew how much work would be involved in porting this from a Particle Photon to an ESP32 dev board based system?

This would allow you to have a webpage running locally on the ESP32 that you could connect too and not have to rely on the Blynk app or the Particle Cloud

Hello Bananaman,

Although it may not look like it, I myself don't know a whole lot of programming. This sounds like a great idea. I have studied using an Arduino as a web server for a different project. I don't think it would be too hard, all the data is pretty simple. It would be time consuming switching out all of the blynk communication code for server data. It could definitely be done. I'm just not exactly sure how much time would be involved.

It actually sounds great to have it host the data to get around using blynk. Initially with the project, a big barrier was the phone app. I didn't have enough interest to learn how to create my own app. I never actually thought of using a simple webpage to host the interface.

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

That was a very quick response. Well based off this I think you know more about programming than I do. I've used a couple of other systems that are controlled via a simple webserver on an ESP8266 (links below) and it works quite well. You might be able to copy some segments of their code to make it easier?

With the newer ESP32 you'll get bluetooth as well.
