Combination of live streaming and HTTP request for ESP32
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:23 pm
Hello,
I have the problem that I already got 2 individually working codes but I don't know how to put them together.
Each of them uses the same soft-AP so I will be able to connect to the ESP32-CAM.
Code 1 creates a video-live-stream that can be seen via URL "192.168.4.2":
Code 2 allows me to process HTTP-requests that I send to the ESP32.
I use this to regulate the brightness of a LED/a small laser via PWM output in 256 steps (8 bit).
for example: "192.168.4.2/LED/value127" -> sets brightness to 127/255 = about 50%
As I said before: both codes are working fine for me individually.
Now I would like to see the video live stream AND being able to control the LED brightness simultaneously.
Can anybody please help? I am quite new to this and still learning. Thank you!

Can anybody please help? I am quite new to this and still learning. Thank you!
