Cytron esp8266 Wifi Shield connect and transmit data to xampp localhost wirelessly - arduino

I have a project about the automated gate. I'm using Cytron ESP8266 Wifi Shield. I'm using it to transmit and store the ultrasonic data to my xampp localhost port 80.
But there is an error in my code on the client side.

Hello sorry again. I'm going to update the progress here can?
I have updated the code. Please correct me if I'm able or not to do this
Okay, the shield is connected to wifi. However, still cannot connect to database xampp localhost.
I have searched many on Google but most os the solutions are using ethernet shield and to webpage, not localhost.
Im stuck here. Any help is really appreciated.

You didn't declare a (global) variable server, like
const char server[] = "www.adafruit.com";
(Like you did in void clientTest() )

But I did something else. I made my wifiShield a server itself. I am able to control led from there and monitor the data from there. Unfortunately no data storage but as long as I can monitor it from distance I am happy lol

Universal Telegram Bot library doesn't work with Arduino nano 33 iot but it doesn't show an error

I've tried for the first time the example echobot using an arduino nano 33 iot and the classical arduino ide.
I have created a bot using botfather.
I have uploaded the code of the example on the board.
The serial monitor tells me that it's connected to the wifi and shows me the SSID the IP address and the signal strenght but when I try to write something using the telegram bot, nothing happens: I don't receive the echo message in the bot chat.
Can anybody help me?

You need to add the Telegram root certificate to the Wifi Module.
Use the Wifi101/WifiNINA Firmware updater.

Wemos D1 ESP8266, ioBroker (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B) MQTT connection failed

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with ioBroker (Raspbian light Stretch) as an MQTT broker and Wemos D1 ESP 8266 with a test script. Both devices are connected to the network via Wi-Fi.
Good news:
1) I can send the MQTT signal from the phone (myMQTT apps) and it will be displayed in the ioBroker logs (the phone is connected to Wi-Fi, MicroTik).
I can send an MQTT signal from my laptop (connected to Wi-Fi or ethernet).
I can send a successful MQTT signal from a Debian virtual server (on vmware).
2) Wemos D1 successfully connects to the test server test.mosquitto.org.
The bad news:
Wemos D1 does not want to connect to ioBroker on the local network and reports the error "Attempting MQTT connection ... failed, rc = -2 try again in 5 seconds".
Why all devices except Wemos D1 ESP 8266 successfully connect to mqtt broker?
Could it be the case in the firewall?
Tell me, please, what should I do to solve this problem.
/*
Basic ESP8266 MQTT example
This sketch demonstrates the capabilities of the pubsub library in combination
with the ESP8266 board/library.
It connects to an MQTT server then:
- publishes "hello world" to the topic "outTopic" every two seconds
- subscribes to the topic "inTopic", printing out any messages
it receives. NB - it assumes the received payloads are strings not binary
- If the first character of the topic "inTopic" is an 1, switch ON the ESP Led,
else switch it off
It will reconnect to the server if the connection is lost using a blocking
reconnect function. See the 'mqtt_reconnect_nonblocking' example for how to
achieve the same result without blocking the main loop.
To install the ESP8266 board, (using Arduino 1.6.4+):
- Add the following 3rd party board manager under "File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs":
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
- Open the "Tools -> Board -> Board Manager" and click install for the ESP8266"
- Select your ESP8266 in "Tools -> Board"

UPDATE:
I did not find where you can change or disable listen port 1883 tcp6.
But I managed to establish a connection between the devices by replacing the Mikrotik router with Keenetic.
Now we need to figure out what's wrong with the settings of the router.
Your screenshot:
shows that ioBroker is listening on the IPv4 loopback interface (127.0.0.1) for ports 9000 and 9001, and on a tcp6 (IPv6) interface for ports 8081, 8082 and 1883.
That means it's only reachable via IPv4 from programs running on the same server as it, or from programs running on computers capable of speaking IPv6.
The ESP8266 is not capable of speaking IPv6.
You need to reconfigure ioBroker to listen on 0.0.0.0:mqtt so that IPv4 software can reach it.

esp8266 relay read relay status in real-time

I made a simple script to control a relay via local web server. It works, but I just want to read the "real" relay status, if it is on or off.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
const char* ssid = "myssid";
const char* password = "mypwd";
#define RELAY 0
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(RELAY,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(RELAY, LOW);
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (!client) return;
while(!client.available()) delay(1);
String request = client.readStringUntil('\r');
int value = LOW;
if (request.indexOf("/RELAY=ON") != -1){
Serial.println("RELAY=ON");
digitalWrite(RELAY,LOW);
value = LOW;
}
if (request.indexOf("/RELAY=OFF") != -1){
Serial.println("RELAY=OFF");
digitalWrite(RELAY,HIGH);
value = HIGH;
}
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println("");
client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
client.println("<html>");
client.println("<head><title>Test RELAY</title></head>");
client.print("Relay is now: ");
if(value == HIGH)
client.print("OFF");
else
client.print("ON");
client.println("<br><br>");
client.println("Turn OFF RELAY<br>");
client.println("Turn ON RELAY<br>");
client.println("</html>");
delay(1);
}
With this code, when I start the esp, the relay status is off by default.
Then, I reach the web page with my desktop pc at the local ip address of the esp, and what I see is:
Relay is now: OFF
Turn OFF RELAY
Turn ON RELAY
This is correct, then I click on "Turn ON RELAY", and I see:
Relay is now: ON
Turn OFF RELAY
Turn ON RELAY
At this point the relay is really ON, but I close my browser and I reach the web page from my phone. It say:
Relay is now: OFF
Turn OFF RELAY
Turn ON RELAY
This is incorrect, because the relay is ON... How can I read the real value? I also tried with digitalRead(RELAY), but it always return 0.
It's a silly bug it took me a while to spot it. The reason is int value = LOW; in your loop method. The best way to fix that is to put it as a global var on top. That way it will not get pre-set to LOW on every request.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
const char* ssid = "myssid";
const char* password = "mypwd";
int value = LOW;
... // Rest of the code
and remove the declaration of int value from your loop method.
As a side note, I would suggest you to use server.on(route, httpMethod, arduinoMethod);
to handle to request rather than putting it in your loop method. That way it has better performance and the code is 10 times more clear.

simple web server nort working with arduino wifi shield

I have recently bought an arduino wifi shield(Atmal chip 32UC3A1512-U), which I connected with
my Arduino Mega ADK R3 board)...It is getting connected to my wifi network, But when I run the
SimpleWebServer Example provided in the library to on/off the LED is not working. The code is given below...
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>

}
// attempt to connect to Wifi network:
while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {

client.println("Content-type:text/html");
client.println();
// the content of the HTTP response follows the header:

// break out of the while loop:

}
else { // if you got a newline, then clear currentLine:

}
}
else if (c != '\r') { // if you got anything else but a carriage return character,

}
// Check to see if the client request was "GET /H" or "GET /L":
if (currentLine.endsWith("GET /H")) {
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); // GET /H turns the LED on
}
if (currentLine.endsWith("GET /L")) {
digitalWrite(9, LOW); // GET /L turns the LED off
}
}
}
// close the connection:
client.stop();
Serial.println("client disonnected");
}
}
void printWifiStatus() {
// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your WiFi shield's IP address:

The result that I am getting in the serial monitor is
Attempting to connect to Network named: belkin.E33
SSID: belkin.E33
IP Address: 192.168.2.5
strength (RSSI):-56 dBm
To see this page in action, open a browser to http://192.168.2.5
But When I am opening the browser with the specified IP address, It is showing
Could not Connect to 192.168.2.5
I have tried this in mozilla and chrome from my ubuntu machine...also tried from some other machines in the same network but with the same result. But when I am pinging to 192.168.2.5 it is pinging...What went wrong??? . My friend adviced to change the firmware...Is it an issue,bcas as told earlier simple examples for establishing the connection are working...Please guide me
I've got the same problem after upgrading Arduino IDE to lastest version (v2) from v1.0.8 which is doing fine with the wifi shield tests (client and server).
Going to try the nightly build now and see if it's fixed.
Edit: Yeap, Nightly build solves this issue.

Cosm has a debug page which might give you a clue as to what's going wrong.
This is currently located at: https://cosm.com/users/YOURUSERNAME/debug and it lists all incoming requests in real time as they come through. If your device works initially, you should see it start making requests successfully, and depending on how long it takes till it flatlines you might be able to keep this page open and hopefully see when it starts failing.
Do you see anything in the Arduino serial output when it seems to stop working, or does it seem like the Arduino is still happily sending data?
The other thing you could try is using Wireshark to inspect network traffic over the wire. Setting this up is slightly more involved however, so I'd suggest trying the other approaches first.
If none of this seems feasible I'd suggest mailing Cosm support with your feed details and have them look into it.
Seconding smulube's suggestion to monitor the serial output. Additionally, eliminate the variable of the COSM code & Ethernet: start debugging the issue with a sketch that is just taking readings from the DHT11 and monitor what's going on in the Arduino's serial output on your computer (in the Tools dropdown menu).
I just received my DHT22 (RHT03) from Sparkfun last night and tried several samples that wouldn't compile (my fault, I'm sure). The sample that worked "out of the box" for me with my Arduino Uno came from Tom Boyd's page (be sure to scroll to the bottom for the most recent code): DHT11 / Aosong AM2302 humidity and temperature sensor
I'm curious: how long did it take for your sensor to flatline? I integrated the code from Tom with the Cosm code and it's been running without interruption for me for an hour now.
Cheers,
Reeves
