This repository contains an Arduino code for a simple click counter using the ESP8266 microcontroller. The code includes a web server that displays the current click count and updates it in real-time.
- ESP8266 microcontroller
- Momentary push button (connected to pin D1)
- (Optional) EEPROM for storing click count persistently
- Clone this repository to your local machine.
- Open the Arduino IDE and load the
click_counter.inofile. - Configure the Arduino IDE for the ESP8266 board.
- Upload the code to your ESP8266 device.
- Connect the ESP8266 to power.
- Press the momentary push button to increment the click count.
- Access the click count through a web browser by navigating to the ESP8266's IP address.
The ESP8266 hosts a simple web interface accessible at the root ("/"):
- Count: Displays the current click count.
- Real-time Update: The page dynamically updates the count without manual refresh.
A dedicated API endpoint is available at "/counter" to retrieve the click count programmatically.
The ESP8266 sets up a WiFi access point with the following credentials:
- SSID: ESP8266
- Password: 12345678
The serial port communicates at a baud rate of 57600. Check the serial monitor for additional information.
The click count is stored persistently using the EEPROM library. The count is read from EEPROM on startup and updated whenever the button is pressed.
