I'm working on a project and am looking for a way to connect with ESP8266 via WiFi module on ESP8266. I have to build use this method, through the windows desktop I can control the movement of robot. From C# to ESP just like remote control project. I have a lack of knowledge of C# same as basics of servers/internet but I have everything done in Arduino IDE code and control the robot through web browser but I'm stuck on Communication Wifi between C# and ESP866. I need some help. Thanks in advance

You can host a REST API Server in the ESP8266 with the using the ESP8266WebServer and use your usual REST Programming in C# like RestSharp or Flurl.

  • REST API to control a robot? – Juraj Nov 23 '20 at 06:03
  • You can expose the robot control via the REST, right? – Sathish Guru V Nov 23 '20 at 06:14

    but the speed of text processing for xml or json on a MCU will make the robot reactions too slow. TCP/IP is already slow for this – Juraj Nov 23 '20 at 06:17

  • @Juraj, Yes, but the OP wanted it for his ESP8266 based Robot. This is one of the way. Else he can use a better base controller and hookup the ESP8266 through Serial and only for WiFi connectivity. – Sathish Guru V Nov 23 '20 at 09:20
  • @Adeline, there is beautiful interface SO offer to include code, please use the SO to share the code instead of pastebin. – Sathish Guru V Nov 23 '20 at 09:21
