ESP8266 Static IP Address Using Arduino Example
In this tutorial we will learn how to use static IP address for ESP8266/NodeMCU. We learn with a LED on off control tutorial with simple web server with static IP to our ESP. Follow given below steps. If you are not familiar with Arduino IDE, Visit This : Arduino Support for ESP8266 with simple test code
1- Required Header files
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> #include <WiFiClient.h> //ESP Web Server Library to host a web page #include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
2- WiFi IP configuration variables
Define Device IP address, Gateway (i.e. wifi router ip), subnet mask and dns. You can get this information from your laptops WiFi connection details.
//Static IP address configuration IPAddress staticIP(192, 168, 43, 90); //ESP8266 static ip IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 43, 1); //IP Address of your WiFi Router (Gateway) IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0); //Subnet mask IPAddress dns(8, 8, 8, 8); //DNS const char* deviceName = "iotbyhvm.ooo";
3- Connecting to WiFi Router with Above Configuration
Static IP configuration can be applied to ESP using WiFi.config statement.
WiFi.config(staticIP, subnet, gateway, DNS)
Use this command before WiFi begin. WiFi.hostname is optional, it is used to give name to ESP8266 to identify in WiFi router.
WiFi.disconnect(); //Prevent connecting to wifi based on previous configuration
WiFi.hostname(deviceName); // DHCP Hostname
WiFi.config(staticIP, subnet, gateway, dns);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); //WiFi mode station (connect to wifi router only)
// Wait for connection
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Complete Code of ESP8266 Static IP Address
This code makes a NodeMCU as webserver and controls onboard LED using web interface.
Change the IP settings, SSID and Password as per your WiFi router and upload.
