- Fri Sep 30, 2016 5:55 am #55906 Hello everyone!

I'm an old hand with Arduino, but very new to the ESP8266. I would like to integrate it into an existing circuit to solve a problem as follows:

I have a timeout set from a variable held within the IDE. This is read from a mechanical input (i.e button/slider/potentiometer) which has to be manually adjusted. I would like to be able to connect directly to the arduino using a WiFi hotspot (i.e. the ESP in access point mode), open a browser, and enter a new variable.

Can someone tell me if this is possible, and if so whether there is an exsiting tutorial or other resource that might be able to help me out?

Thank you in advance!

Joe

@Joe
A somewhat extended example of reading A0 and sending to the browser and reading a slider control and sending that 0-255 value back to the ESP8266.
