ESP32 Motor Driver Control via Python

Description

This project allows you to control two DC motors connected to an ESP32 through a web server interface. The computer sends motor control commands to the ESP32 using Python (with the requests library). The ESP32 receives the commands and controls the motors to move forward, backward, or stop.

Requirements

• Hardware:

  • ESP32
  • 2 DC motors
  • Motor driver (L298N, L9110, etc.)
  • Suitable power supply

• Software:

  • ESP32 Arduino code (WebServer)
  • Python 3.x
  • Python library: requests

Usage Instructions

1. Upload code to ESP32

• Use Arduino IDE or PlatformIO.
• Configure the correct motor control pins and WiFi information.
• Upload the code to the ESP32.

2. Install Python library

pip install requests

3. Edit the IP address

• Change the ESP_IP variable in test.py to the IP address of your ESP32 (check Serial Monitor after WiFi connection).

4. Run the Python program

python test.py

• Enter a number as instructed:
  • 1: Move both motors forward
  • 2: Move both motors backward
  • 3: Stop both motors

Notes

• Make sure the ESP32 and your computer are on the same LAN.
• If the ESP32 resets when receiving commands, check the ESP32 code (input parameter handling).
• Ensure the power supply for the motors and ESP32 is sufficient.

Extensions

• Apply image processing for control...
