Topic: Dual Webpage and App controlled RGB LED
Sometimes (OK, lots of times) I do silly and mostly meaningless things just to see if I can. This is one of those times.
After playing around with a Webserver/client sketch for ESP32, I figured I would try to see if I could integrate RemoteXY into the sketch as well.
As the Webserver was using the WiFi, I setup RemoteXY with BLE... I wasn't sure if both would work at the same time or not... yes, I could have Googled that, but just jumping in was more fun.
Short answer... yes, but you may need to connect the App very shortly after restarting the ESP32, else it sometimes seems to have problems grabbing the GUI info. This is most likely due to the shared radio between WiFi and BT... At bootup, and because it starts first in the code, the BLE has time to send the GUI prior to the WiFi taking over. And since after the GUI, the BLE commands are short and sweet, they get through in between WiFi timing.
In this forum, I am only including my Arduino sketch... you will need to go to this (unaffiliated with me) site to figure out the rest of the needed files for the SPIFFS, if you so chose such silliness as duplicating this project https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-w … et-sliders
Meanwhile, what I did (and was what much of the challenge for me) was figure out how to write code that mixed and merged the incoming and outgoing processes so changes made on a web client or on the RemoteXY App, simultaneously updated each other, and of course both the physical LED and virtual one match colours, as shown here...
FYI, for the curious, long ago I made myself that RGBW test rig from a common anode RGB LED, a white LED (you can't see those wires) a dead household LED bulb casing and an empty wire spool. Sometimes I just have too much time on my hands
Anyhow... Most of the input/output merger code is in the void loop() but a few lines that update the App sliders are in the rest of the code...and I commented those as needed.
Enjoy!
PS. I found I needed to set the Partition Scheme to "Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)" with my particular MCU WEMOS LOLIN32 in order to get it to fit when flashing.
