RGB strip WiFi server

This server has been tested with:

• ws2812b LED strip
• WeMos ESP8266 board

Instructions

The first time it boots, the board will create its own access point so you can configure the SSID and password. To configure it, just connect to the led network and access the board either using its IP (it is the default gateway for the network) or its MDNS name (esp8266.local):

curl http://esp8266.local/credentials?ssid=mywifi&pass=mypassword

The board will then reboot and try to log in with the given credentials. If the credentials were correct, the led network should have disappeared. If it hasn't, try rebooting the board or debugging.

Once the board is connected to your router, you can start using the API of the board.

API

• /clear clear WIFI credentials
• /credentials?ssid=<SSID>&pass=<PASSWD> Set the
• /color?r=<R>&g=<G>&b=<B> Set
• /off turn off the lights
• /on turn on the lights (using the last color and value)
• /toggle turn the lights if they are off, and vice versa
• /white set the color to white
• /brightness?value=<VALUE> set the brightness value (0-255)
• /brightness/up turn up the brightness (up to 255)
• /brightness/down turn down the brightness (down to 255)

Debugging

You can use a serial monitor (e.g. in the Arduino IDE) to connect to the board.

Over-the-air updates

You can connect to your board wirelessly and update its firmware using OTA updates. To do so, follow this instructions: http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.0.0/doc/ota_updates/ota_updates.html
