To host an HTML website on an ESP32, you can use the ESPAsyncWebServer library, which allows you to set up a web server on the ESP32. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through the process:
Install the ESPAsyncWebServer library:
Open the Arduino IDE.
Go to Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries.
Search for "ESPAsyncWebServer" and install the library.
Set up the basic HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello from ESP32!</h2>
<p>This is a simple HTML page hosted on the ESP32 web server.</p>
</body>
</html>
Use the following code as a basic example to host the HTML file on the ESP32:
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
const char* ssid = "your_SSID";
const char* password = "your_PASSWORD";
AsyncWebServer server(80);
void notFound(AsyncWebServerRequest *request) {
request->send(404, "text/plain", "Not found");
}
void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
server.onNotFound(notFound);
server.on("/", HTTP_GET, [](AsyncWebServerRequest *request){
request->send(200, "text/html", "<h1>Hello from ESP32!</h1><p>This is a simple HTML page hosted on the ESP32 web server.</p>");
});
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
}
Connect your ESP32 to your computer and upload the code.
Open the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor to check the ESP32's IP address once it connects to the Wi-Fi network.
Open a web browser and type the IP address of the ESP32 into the address bar. You should see the HTML page displayed.
Make sure to replace "your_SSID" and "your_PASSWORD" with your actual Wi-Fi credentials. This basic example demonstrates how to host a simple HTML page, but you can extend it to serve more complex web content or dynamic web pages from the ESP32.
