GR-PEACH Special Project: Graph Indication of a Sensor’s Value

Web Server Part 2

Overview

Let's show the value of the sensor in a graph on a web browser.

Preparation

You will need a GR-PEACH board, USB cable (Micro B type), LAN cable, Micro SD card, illuminance sensor (NJL7502L), and 10kΩ of resistance.

Sample Program for Graph Indication of the Sensor’s Value

First, save the "index.htm" and "mbedrpc.js" file to the Micro SD for browser indication.

Right click the following links and execute “save the object in a file“ for download.

Next, insert the Micro SD into an SD socket on the back side of GR-PEACH and copy to build the following sketch program in gr_sketch.cpp, write it down to GR-PEACH.


#include <Arduino.h>
#include "HTTPServer.h"

Operation Check for the Graph Indication of the Sensor’s Value

After writing to GR-PEACH, start a serial monitor such as Tera Term; then, press the reset button on GR-PEACH. The IP address acquired by DHCP will be shown.

peach-sp-ntsc-serialmonitor

Put the displayed IP address into the URL on the web browser.

The value of the illuminance sensor will be displayed in a graph as shown here; the point where a graph falls down means darkness.
