- Fri Apr 03, 2020 1:41 am #86320 Hi All,

Here is another sketch for ESP8266 for a javascript based self-updating temperature gauge. It is a modified version of the one @ https://circuits4you.com/2018/02/03/esp8266-nodemcu-adc-analog-value-on-dial-gauge/. Thanks guys.

The hardware is to be used for controlling the hot water system in our off-grid home. The instant code would become part of a Hot Water Management System that includes:

1. electric geyser control;
2. periodic flushing/recycling the hot water feed line into the main overhead tank;

3. control of 2 pressurizing pumps to maintain system pressure at around 2.2 bars.
(required because single storey house has very little head for water for showering)


THE CODE

Code: Select allconst char* htmlfile = "/index.html";
int a;
//WiFi Connection configuration

const char* ssid      = "ZONG MBB-E5573-E9A6";      // WiFi SSID
const char* password  = "07237750";  // WiFi Password
 
ESP8266WebServer server(80);
 
 
void handleADC(){
 
  /*
 int a = analogRead(A0);
  a = map(a,0,1023,0,100);
  String adc = String(a);
  Serial.println(adc);

*/
   ReadADC();
   String adc = String(a);
  server.send(200, "text/plane",adc);
}
 
void handleRoot(){
  server.sendHeader("Location", "/index.html",true);   //Redirect to our html web page
  server.send(302, "text/plane","");
}
 
void handleWebRequests(){
  if(loadFromSpiffs(server.uri())) return;
  String message = "File Not Detected\n\n";
  message += "URI: ";

  server.onNotFound(handleWebRequests); //Set setver all paths are not found so we can handle as per URI

  Tot_Current = (3.26 - average)/100;
  Tot_Current =  Tot_Current - (average/320);
  steinhart = average/Tot_Current;
 
  steinhart = steinhart / 100;                // (R/Ro),THERMISTORNOMINAL 100000
  steinhart = log(steinhart);                  // ln(R/Ro)
  steinhart /= 4100;                           // 1/B * ln(R/Ro), BCOEFFICIENT 4250
 
  steinhart += 1.0 / (25 + 273.15);              // + (1/To), TEMPERATURENOMINAL 25   
  steinhart = 1.0 / steinhart;                 // Invert
  steinhart -= 273.15;                         // convert to degC

 
  a =  steinhart;       
  return a;
 
}

The hardware uses a 100K NTC resistor for sensing temperature of water in the electric geyser. The function ReadADC() manages reading and converting the 100K NTC resistor value to Temperature.

Additionally the javascript, css and jquery files are to be placed into a separate folder named <data>, and loaded into the 8266's SPIFF. A zipped version (C4u.rar) of the sketch and associated folder is attached.

Please try it out and comment if you find it useful.

It would have been safer not to publish your WiFi credentials.
