• Description:
In this video I show you how to send data to, and process it on, a web server running on the ESP8266. I start with the web server code that was set up in another video (youtu.be/m2fEXhl70OY), and add a route where to send the data. When the JSON-formatted data is received, it's sent to a callback function, which processes it and extracts the included parameters. The JSON-formatted data specifies the pan and tilt of a servo-powered USB camera mount. I go over the process, step-by-step, of how to write code using the Arduino IDE.
One of the most common tasks when using the ESP8266 is setting it up as a device that connects to a network and responds to traffic on it (i.e., a web server). I wanted to show you, in detail, how to take things further by using the web server to receive custom data formatted in JSON and included inside of a POST request.
