In this tutorial we are going to control "Servo Motor using Wifi microcontroller ESP01"

Controlling servo motors with different controllers and circuits is quite an easier thing which we have discussed in our various articles. However, controlling the same Servos using a web server might be a new thing for you. Thus, trying new things is always fun. So, here we are with the project ESP01 Servo Motor Control using a Web Server. Hence for making this project we are using the esp01 wifi module.
