How to Add WiFi Control to Any Project || ESP32 Beginner's Guide

In this project I will show you how easy/difficult it is to use an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE in order to add WiFi control to any electronics project. Along the way I will show you how to use the ESP32 to create a simple WiFi server and how to create a fitting control app for your smartphone. Let's get started!

Step 1: Watch the Video!

The video gives you all information you need to add WiFi control to any of your electronics projects. In the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.

Step 2: Order Your ESP32!

Here you can find suppliers for the ESP32: (Mine is from the Ebay link, affiliate links)

Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dXcHSHv

Amazon.de: http://amzn.to/2fGZBEw

Ebay: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?...

Step 3: Upload the Code!

Here you can find the code/sketch that I created during the video. Feel free to download it and use it for your own projects.

Here are also useful reference sites for the ESP32 that I also partly used in the video:

Step 4: Install the App!

Here you can download the App that I created during the video for Android phones. But you can also easily create your own App with the MIT App Inventor: http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/
