Study Notes

Arduino Program Structure

The setup() function is executed once at the beginning of an Arduino program.
The loop() function is the heart of an Arduino program, running repeatedly until the Arduino is powered off or reset.

Variables and Functions

LEDpin and delayT are integer variables used in the program.
The delay() function accepts values in milliseconds.

Components Required

1 X LED
1 X Resistor, 330 Ohm
1 X Breadboard
1 X Arduino UNO R3 or Arduino UNO SMD (or any other Arduino Boards)
Jumper wires

Components Description

LED: controlled by the program.
Resistor: used for current limiting for each LED.
Breadboard: used for building and testing circuits without soldering.
Arduino UNO R3 or Arduino UNO SMD: used as the microcontroller board.

ESP8266 Web Server

ESP8266WebServer is used to create a web server on the ESP8266 board.
The server object is used to handle HTTP requests and responses.
handle_OnConnect(), handle_led1on(), handle_led1off(), handle_led2on(), and handle_led2off() are functions used to handle specific HTTP requests.
