ESP8266 Community Forum

- Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:14 pm #22813 I signed up for an account so I could do just this. If anyone has any progress, I'd love to hear about it.

Also I'm looking for examples but I still can't find one that's satisfactory. I want to be able to control the esp8266 through buttons on a webpage. I've managed to get examples like "192.168.0.1/lightsON" to turn an LED on, but I'd rather the ESP8266 host a page with buttons that I can simply click.

Can anyone point me in the direction of something like this?

Code: Select all<input type="color" name="color" value="#000000"/>

By selecting the exact color, you can dim too...or add +/- buttons to your page to adjust after selecting a base color.

- Thu Jul 09, 2015 6:22 pm #22883 Yeah, I'm actually at a more basic level than this. I have searched (and will search more tonight) but I can't actually work out how to take the output of the HTML colourpicker and turn that into something useful in the ESP8266. Is there an example out there you could point me to?

Hi Chris, I'll see if I can throw something together and post it here. I don't have a ws2812 to play with, but I am sure I can get it to the point that will make it easier for you.
