HTTP embedded web server and its application for air parameters monitoring

Abstract

Embedded systems find extensive applications in various aspects of daily life and their presence in the highly connected world of today is growing. With a large number of remote devices and sensors, there is a growing need for remote data processing. Microcontrollers, often integral components of such devices, can enable remote data manipulation through the implementation of a web server called embedded web servers. The implementation of a server on such a system poses challenges, such as limited resources, so it is crucial for the web server implementation to be compatible with the available resources. This paper focuses on the requirements for the implementation of a web server. Also, an embedded web server has been designed for specific application of monitoring air parameters. The implementation utilizes the LwIP stack and allows for remote access to measurement results within a local network. The paper will delve into the operational principles of both the web server and the entire system.
