Luck of example how to connect mesh network to wifi-router and internet

[Oleksii]

I was able to run mesh network. But I do not see example(s) or information which will explain how at least one of nodes of this mesh network can connect to Internet (trough wifi-router) and send/receive requests to Internet resource(s) like:

http.begin("http://google.com");

http.GET();

This should allow me to forward all required requests from all (or part of) mesh network to this particular node and to Internet returning received response back to the initial node.

Is it possible at all?

Thank you very much.

I recently did such a program : an ESP32 runs a webserver and is part of a mesh made with painless mesh.

Information from other nodes of the mesh are sent to the ESP32 and displayed on a web page accessible from my cellphone either on my wifi network or outside.

The webserver part is based on this example and this one, the web page is based on this one and the mesh is based on the examples of the painless mesh library

Yes, @Lesept, you explain something similar to example of painlessmesh located in webServer.ino

But, can it be not a web server, but access some web page in Internet as client?

[Lesept]

Yes actually, you can find tutorials on the net dealing with this. Just add the painless mesh instructions to the rest of your sketch.

Here is a link to a tutorial for ESP8266 : hope it helps.

Hi Friend ,

In above question are you tried or not.We need only the answer not an idea.

Please answer for whether the http request on end node will able to send or not.

As a side note, have you noticed if you use an IP address in the http.begin(IP_ADDRESS); that it fails?
