How to create a wireless notice board project using a display and ESP32 module.

 To create a wireless notice board project using a display and ESP32 module, you can follow these steps:

  1. Gather the necessary materials - an ESP32 module, a display (such as an OLED or LCD), a breadboard, jumper wires, and a USB cable for programming.

  2. Set up your development environment - install the Arduino IDE and the necessary ESP32 board files, as well as any additional libraries you may need.

  3. Connect the ESP32 module to the display and breadboard using jumper wires.

  4. Write the code for the project using the Arduino IDE, making use of the ESP32's WiFi capabilities to connect to a network and receive updates to display on the notice board.

  5. Upload the code to the ESP32 module using the USB cable.




Here is an example code for the project:

#include <WiFi.h>

#include <Wire.h>

#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>

#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>


// Replace with your network credentials

const char* ssid = "your_SSID";

const char* password = "your_PASSWORD";


// Initialize the OLED display

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(128, 32, &Wire, -1);


void setup() {

// Initialize the serial port for debugging

Serial.begin(115200);


// Initialize the display

display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);

display.clearDisplay();

display.setTextColor(WHITE);

display.setTextSize(1);

display.setCursor(0, 0);

display.println("Wireless Notice Board");

display.display();


// Connect to WiFi network

WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

Serial.println("");

Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi");

while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {

delay(1000);

Serial.print(".");

}

Serial.println("");

Serial.println("WiFi connected");

Serial.println("IP address: ");

Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

}


void loop() {

// Check for incoming data

if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED) {

WiFiClient client;

if (client.connect("example.com", 80)) {

client.print("GET /data HTTP/1.1\r\n");

client.print("Host: example.com\r\n");

client.print("Connection: close\r\n\r\n");

while (client.connected()) {

String line = client.readStringUntil('\n');

if (line == "\r") {

// Display the data on the OLED display

display.clearDisplay();

display.setCursor(0, 0);

display.println("New Notice:");

display.setCursor(0, 10);

display.println(client.readStringUntil('\n'));

display.display();

break;

}

}

client.stop();

}

}

delay(1000);

}

This code sets up the OLED display, connects to a WiFi network, and checks for incoming data from a web server. When new data is received, it is displayed on the OLED display. You can modify the code to suit your specific requirements.
