What can you do with an Arduino web server?
With an Arduino web server, you can already store a web page and extend control over your sensors and other connected devices. Things like reading sensor values and toggling relay switches can now be done anywhere via a WiFi connection.
How can I control my Arduino from a web page?
The first thing you need to do, before we even think about controlling an Arduino from a web page is to connect the Ethernet shield to the Arduino. It simple aligns with the pins and presses down. Don’t press it down too far however, or the bottom of the Ethernet shield may make contact with the top of the USB port.
What can an Arduino be used for in a home?
For example a pump in a well house. You could connect lighting for home automation, or control dust collection systems in your wood shop. The ideas for this are almost endless. While we covered the Ethernet shield in this article, is important to note that Wi-Fi shields are available for controlling an Arduino from a web page wirelessly!
How to show Arduino sensor data on a web page?
Open the Arduino IDE. Go to File >> Examples >> Basics >> BareMinimum then upload the sketch. This is to make sure that no program is running on the Arduino board. Next, open the serial monitor. Make sure to set the baud rate to default, which is usually 115200. Then, type the following AT command: AT.
How can I connect my Arduino to the Internet?
If we want anyone, anywhere to have access to the Arduino Web Server we need to setup something called port forwarding. This is an option you can set within your Internet router manager.
Is the Arduino control page on the Internet?
The control page is accessible from both the private and public networks (aka: internet accessible for anyone). The video shows me turning both the servo and LED on and off from my computer and iPhone (with the wireless network turned off so as to force it to access the Arduino from the public network).
