ESP8266 Motor Web Control

IoT Hardware Web Controller

Problem:

Controlling DC motors usually needs a wired setup; I wanted to drive them wirelessly from any browser.

Key Decision:

Why ESP8266 in AP mode + async web server: no router needed — the device hosts its own Wi-Fi and serves the control UI directly.

Users:

Makers and hardware tinkerers controlling motors over Wi-Fi.

My Role:

Firmware + web control UI (solo).

Result:

Embedded firmware (C++) that serves a web UI to drive multiple DC motors via PWM in real time.
