Yes ,
first step get a esp8266 , set up arduino for esp , install the espasync tcp and webserver libs and arduinojson too
try the examples, then try this
...
Bluetooth is an option I 've not though to use. Will consider it if it can be used also on iOS.
WiFi is sure more versatile. I guess setting up an ESP needs some knowledge on C, right?
Asking...
something to consider about fonts
it looks like you want 40x22 size font
a pic16 has a flash word size of 14 bits therefore a font that size
will take if encoded horizontally by row take 2x40...
wifi is the easy way , just add an esp module or a socket for one
richard - 30th November 2023, 01:05simple, anything with a browser can set data fields and/or transfer files up or down to an esp8266 module of your choice
the esp can host the server on its own net or on your chosen wifi network...
I'm sure UART over WiFi is possible but if the goal is to use a smartphone with a terminal program then I would think Bluetooth would be easier.
Something like a HC-06 module on the PIC side and...
Thanks Jerson.
I'll grab some of these modules and try :wink:
I wonder if there is a way to setup parameters to a PIC based device.
One way would be to force the user to connect the device to a PC through a serial cable and on the PC a terminal program can...
You could look at a module called the HC05. It will pair with your bluetooth phone and can talk on 5V UART with the PIC.

Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device
about 6 months or a year ago I mentioned an 8266 UART-WIFI bridge. After programming a few files into it, after that it just starts up able to send and receiving at set baud over your wifi settings....
