Pushing an Arduino Uno to its limits by having it act as a web server capable of handling 8 simultaneous clients and performing (very) basic method and path handling.
There was no HTTP library or framework used, and the server exposed almost certainly is not the best behaved, but you can point your browser at it and have it display a basic web page. This is, by all accounts, a toy project that was done for fun (and maybe to win a bet) and really shouldn't be used in any serious context.
Assuming the Arduino hasn't given up, it can be accessed here: https://arduino.b3dy.io/
All that is really needed is:
- Arduino Uno
- Ethernet shield
Plug the shield into your Arduino and you're setup
- Plug the Arduino Uno into your computer
- Open this project in the Arduino IDE
- Flash the Arduino
- Point your computer's web browser to your Arduino's local IP
- Realize your new found power
Lets see this lil Arduino flex:
A basic benchmark was run with oha:
$ oha -z 60s http://<arduinos-ip>/and the results:
