Wireless Arduino Serial over Wi-Fi using a Web Browser

A quick video on how I built a device to access serial ports over a browser using Wi-Fi on an ESP8266 board ( Wemos D1 Mini)

very cool.. thanks for sharing that with the world!

[@jameszahary]

Excellent program - ideas for rev 2 (or i can do them after you publish)
1. autoscroll, clear, timestamps like arduino
2. automatically record before web is attached and give you access to that when you attach
3. store that recording in spiffs or littlefs on the 8266

[@jameszahary]

Also, you can just add another wire to +5 to power 8266 from your device if it has power available

[@danialothman]

awesome stuff!

[@er.jugalmandal7736]

Love it your project and wanted to work with you as your help . Even though I have little bit of knowledge about Arduino. Could you please suggest and material where I can get complete learning that you are using on your projects.

[@azbesthu]

Did you see the news about ESP32-S3 that has native usb and linux kernel that supports CH340 device on that usb port? With that, you would be able to create an usb dongle for the 3d printer that can expose serial over wifi without soldering.

Source code not available? I won't flash a bin file on a device on my private network where i don't know what is inside the firmware.

[@MrDIYca]

It will be available sometime in the future. I offer the source code first to my TH-cam members and Patreons as a perk and to thank them for their support, but eventually I release it :)

@@MrDIYca Hello from the future. Has it been enough time?

[@xbox360Rob]

[@vegeto9092]

I need help - my unit keeps having GND and TX connected. This only happens when the mini is given power when off they do not have continuity. Do you know how to fix this?

[@raymondmichael4987]

Updates on this 😊

[@thenextproblem8001]

Can we use it to program Arduino or esp?

[@drtgadgets]

could you update the code for ESP32?

[@handdancin]

how do send hex data via the console

[@science4allworld587]

Can you also share actual code.. apart from bin firmware. So that if we want to modify code if needed?
Great idea and thanks...

[@MrDIYca]

I will soon.

[@Rees3901Gmail]

@@MrDIYca anytime soon would be good 👍🏻

[@andrewsmarchisio2243]

@@MrDIYca Yes Please! I cant get it to work and perhap looking at code will assist! Subscribed as well!! Thank you

[@knowledge_seeker80]

@MrDIY
is there a way to disable auto refresh to check previous data?

[@MrDIYca]

I am not sure what auto refresh you are referring to but the source code is public if you want to do any changes

[@knowledge_seeker80]

@MrDIY
1 autoscroll enable / disable
2 clear data
3 add timestamp

[@toddharris2935]

Can you please post the source code? Up loading a bin file without knowing what it contains is not in the cards for me.... Thanks

@@MrDIYca do you offer the source code for the chanel members?.

[@croatiax6977]

Hello, will the project work on ESP-01? 🙂

[@MrDIYca]

Yes

[@dannewcomb8810]

Did I miss the password for the ap this bin creates somewhere?

[@MrDIYca]

the AP password is "mrdiy.ca"

[@JuanCarlos-ff6vp]

do you offer the source code for the chanel members?. Please confirm to join the subcription. Greetings.

[@MrDIYca]

Yes, if asked I do share them.

[@ttownnife]

Is the source code available for non-members/patreons?

[@MrDIYca]

Yes

[@dablet]

I wish you had shown a clear step by step instruction on how to do it. this video was basically a show off. absolutely no detailed instruction whatsoever for anyone, especially noobs, to follow along.

[@MrDIYca]

The only thing you need to do is solder/connect Tx,Rx,V,G and flash the code I wrote. If you are new and getting started with ESP8266, you can watch this video th-cam.com/video/dGrJi-ebZgI/w-d-xo.html & learn how to solder here th-cam.com/video/6rmErwU5E-k/w-d-xo.html
