New book release: “ESP32 Control Relay from Anywhere Using Micropython and Tunnelling Software”
Paperback and eBook available.
In this book we are going to; Build a breadboard circuit using the ESP32 microcontroller board, combined with a Relay and some jumper leads.
Install & set-up the Thonny Python IDE
Install MicroPython Firmware on your ESP32 microcontroller board.
Make a MicroPython Web Server program to run on the ESP32 that will allow us to switch the Relay On/OFF when we want, using a Web Browser connected locally via Wi-Fi.
Finally, we will install & set-up ngrok Secure Tunnels.
Using ngrok Tunnelling Software, we will make our ESP32 Web Server available from anywhere that has an internet connection.
All developed under Windows 11, with the code available for download.
ESP32 Web Server Monitor Temperature and Control a Relay over local Wi-Fi
In this book we are going to;
Build a breadboard circuit using the ESP32 board,
a DHT22 Sensor, and a Relay.
Install & set-up the Arduino IDE & Libraries.
Prepare and upload ESP32 code and support pages,
for a Web Server program serving an HTML page broadcasting,
temperature and humidity value to clients as well as allowing,
control of Relay, via any Web Browser on local Wi-Fi network.
All development under Windows 10/11, downloadable code.
Amazon KDP Printed Book: “Raspberry Pi PicoW Webserver Relay Control from Anywhere Using MicroPython and Tunnelling Software”
In this book we are going to;
Build a breadboard circuit using the Raspberry Pi PicoW low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board, combined with a Relay and some jumper leads.
Install & set-up the Thonny Python IDE
Install MicroPython Firmware on your Raspberry Pi PicoW
Make a MicroPython Web Server program to run on the Raspberry Pi PicoW that will allow us to switch the Relay On/OFF when we want, using a Web Browser connected locally via WiFi.
Finally, we will install & set-up ngrok Secure Tunnels.
Using ngrok Tunnelling Software, we will make our Raspberry Pi PicoW Web Server available from anywhere that has an internet connection.
All developed under Windows 11 but should work on win 10 OK, with the code available for download.
Sounds like it might be fun, let’s go.

ESP32 Web Server control a relay from anywhere using Tunnelling Software
In this book we are going to
• build an ESP32 web server
• serve HTML and CSS files (pages) from SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System)
• control a relay from those pages via tunnelling software from any location with an internet connection and web browser.
• Setup and coding using Arduino IDE on Windows 10.
