I am trying to send to send data from a SparkfunWifiShield to a arduino webserver that is created with a ethernet shield. I used this code: Arduino - Webserver with an Arduino + Ethernet Shield | Random Nerd Tutorials
I am now trying to send some kind of POST data with the wifishield. Eventually I want to use a button that can control the led.
Current code of WifiShield:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> // Include software serial library, ESP8266 library dependency
#include <SparkFunESP8266WiFi.h> // Include the ESP8266 AT library
ESP8266Client client; // Create a client object
int x = 1;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
if (esp8266.begin()) // Initialize the ESP8266 and check it's return status
Serial.println("ESP8266 ready to go!"); // Communication and setup successful
else
Serial.println("Unable to communicate with the ESP8266 :(");
int retVal;
retVal = esp8266.connect("****", "****");
if (retVal < 0)
{
Serial.print(F("Error connecting: "));
Serial.println(retVal);
}
retVal = client.connect("***", 80); // Connect to sparkfun (HTTP port)
if (retVal > 0)
Serial.println("Successfully connected!");
}
void loop() {
/*client.print("data" + String(x) + "\n\n");
Serial.println(x);
delay(1000);
x++;*/
/*client.print("POST /?buttonScoreThuisPlus=1");
delay(1000);*/
}
Code of webserver:
