Also I think you didn't get the full idea that I am working on..
The keypad is wired into different circuit that is using it... I need to monitor this key pad and check which button was pressed... to get the idea please see this pseudocode to get the idea:

The keypad is implemented this way: pin1 & 2 are the driving lines; pins 10 - 12 are sensing lines
      pin 1    pin 2
        |        |
pin10--pwr------ |----
        |        |
pin11--tUp-----tDwn--
        |        |
pin12--fan-------|----
        |        |

to detect which button is clicked I have to do this way:

while(true){
      if (pin 1 == low){
        if(pin10 == low)
            pwr is clicked;
        else if(pin 11 == low)
            tUp is clicked;
        else if(pin 11 == low)
            fan is clicked;
      }
      else if (pin 2 == low){
        if(pin 11 == low)
            tDwn is clicked;
      }
}

@allObjects I don't think I get that
take it easy.. I am still so new to the code (in fact I just found about it today). I don't know how the code structure and how it operates ! Though I am experienced with arduino...
I don't know how the code loops! And how I can make a routine for my logic.. And whether it is possible to serve a web page and watch a hardware concurrently?!

So can you please elaborate more?

@Gordon
is it possible to make a function that always loops? and whenever the user request the page it can answer with the page as well?

The keys I am watching are implemented as keypad, and to monitor what key is pressed I need to watch the driving pins and which pin of the sensing pins has changed.. I have the logic and I can simply convert it to code. But is it possible to make an event listener for these changes and serve the web as well?

P.S. I don't need to update the page while it is still open..

I am trying to use the 8266 alone. It is ok to do some tests with the current firmware..

No I don't need to update the page while it is still open. I just need to update the variables and once I refresh the page I see the new values

Hello everyone...
I am new to this forum, I hope I can add more value here.

I have a question regarding a project I am working on.
I am developing a remote controller using an ESP8266 and interfacing with some simple electronics to my hardware I want to control. I want to interface with the user using a webpage obviously.
In the beginning I started to do the development using the esplorer tool and lua scripting. But that was very not helpful and can't give me all the features I wanted. Then I found this amazing javascript interpreter that may give me what I need. So I have some questions for you guys.

I want to control a wall-mounted device that controls my AC. The device has some interfacing buttons (power, fan, tempUp and tempDown).
I want to make the device controlled by the web interface as well as the device interface itself.
developing the webpage is easy and I could follow the tutorials easily. But is it possible to update the content of the web interface when a button is clicked? I mean if someone turned on the AC, when I go to the webpage I can see the status as "ON" and if someone changed the temperature I can keep track of how many times he clicked the button and update the temp variable in the controller?

To sum up, I want to make the variables for the webpage controlled by the hardware as well as the user from the PC.

BTW I made all the interfacing hardware and I just need to program my 8266.

Thanks

just found out that this thread is not meant for this type of conversations.. I don't know how to delete the conversation however..
