Hello, i have code here that activated an LED and a servo through a webpage on my home network.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
const char* ssid = "TJnew";
const char* password = "benjamin9163";
int ledPin = 13; // GPIO13---D7 of NodeMCU
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(10);
myservo.attach(2);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
// Connect to WiFi network
Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("");
Serial.println("WiFi connected");
// Start the server
server.begin();
Serial.println("Server started");
// Print the IP address
Serial.print("Use this URL to connect: ");
Serial.print("http://");
Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());
Serial.println("/");
}
void loop() {
// Check if a client has connected
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (!client) {
return;
}
// Wait until the client sends some data
Serial.println("new client");
while(!client.available()){
delay(1);
}
// Read the first line of the request
String request = client.readStringUntil('\r');
Serial.println(request);
client.flush();
// Match the request
int value = LOW;
if (request.indexOf("/LED=ON") != -1) {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
myservo.write(5);
value = HIGH;
}
if (request.indexOf("/LED=OFF") != -1) {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
myservo.write (83);
value = LOW;
}
// Set ledPin according to the request
//digitalWrite(ledPin, value);
// Return the response
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println(""); // do not forget this one
client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
client.println("<html>");
client.print("Led is now: ");
if(value == HIGH) {
client.print("On");
} else {
client.print("Off");
}
client.println("
");
client.println("<a href=\"/LED=ON\"\"><button>On </button></a>");
client.println("<a href=\"/LED=OFF\"\"><button>Off </button></a>
");
client.println("</html>");
delay(1);
Serial.println("Client disonnected");
Serial.println("");
}
I want to know how to make this page accesible from an outside network like my Work.
I understand the threats of oppening up a port to an outside user but i want to know if it is possible and how to do it.
