ESP8266 based wireless joystick to control relays wirelessly
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2016 6:44 amHi Guys,
I am an Electronics Engineer by profession trying to get to understand the basics of network protocols and communication which I know very little about !
I am working on a wireless remote control project that has two ESP8266 Modules talking to each other at a distance of approximately 10 meters, the purpose being, to control a 12V bidirectional solenoid valve via relay (standalone receiver) by a joystick ( standalone transmitter).
Going for an RF transceiver solution might sound apt for this but unfortunately 433Mhz is not a license free band in India. So I thought Wifi 2.4Ghz is the one to go for ( thoughts & opinions are welcome )
Now I have come across TCP, UDP and Telnet arduino Sketches. Could somebody throw some light on protocol selection for this application. ( See Functional Blocks picture Attached )
Cheers!
Ganesh
