IoT Button Counter
Displays · Board: ESP8266 · Day 10 of 100
Three push buttons on the ESP8266 increment, decrement, and reset a counter shown on a live web page. Buttons meet Wi-Fi in a tidy starter project.
How it works
Three buttons feed digital inputs: increment, decrement, reset. The ESP8266 debounces each press in software, updates a counter variable, and serves the current value on a small web page. Physical input, networked output, one tidy loop.
What you'll learn
- Button debouncing
- Pull-up input wiring
- State variables
- Serving live data over HTTP
