Start with simple 'AT', the module should return 'OK', test other commands and so on. Do not worry, at this time you can send AT commands.

When loading the program you will see a lot of trash at Serial Monitor, after the name of the module and finally the word 'ready'. In the part of 'comments', are listed the most basic AT commands. The idea of this sketch is to run tests and set-up the module, allowing you to enter AT commands via the Serial Monitor and see the answer: The colors shown are compatible with the connection diagram. I used a simple 'Male / Female' cable type FTDI (see below) for the connection. There are adapters on the market to turn the module breadboard friendly, as the physical distance between the ESP8266 pins are not compatible with breadboard holes. In my case, without the 'reset' by SW (puts the pin momentarily LOW), the ESP8266 did not work.

(*) In several sites on the Internet, this pin is directly connected to VCC.

CH_PD (*) : connected to pin 4 of the MEGA SW reset to start communication.

It is worth remembering that you must connect the GND of ESP8266 to the GND of the MEGA.

RX : TX2 connected to the MEGA via a Level Converter.

TX: that it will be connected to RX2's MEGA (can be connected directly, since MEGA has no problem understanding 3.3V as HIGH).

Not always the Arduino can supply the required current for the correct module operation.

Another important point is to have an independent source of 3.3V. The input pins also do not support 5V and when receiving an Arduino signal, it is important to use first a 'voltage level converter' (cute name for the good and old resistors voltage divider).

Power Source: 3.3V This is very important because the module does not work with 5V and can burn if you insist (rhymed!).

TX2 / RX2 => Pin 16, 17 => 'Serial2' įor my tests, I will use the Serial 2 (pins 16 and 17).

TX0 / RX0 => Pin 1, 0 (same as the UNO) => 'Serial 0'.

Here, not to wrap your head around with right speed, firmware, etc., I will simplify it using an Arduino MEGA, that has 4 HW serial ports.

Several posts at internet explain how to do it.

Perfect! But how to do in the case of ESP8266 come programmed at a faster rate? The way is to reprogram it, of course! BUT, not all Firmware that is loaded into from factory, accept reprogramming module. This works OK as long as the transmission speed is less than 19,200 baud. The solution for Arduino UNO is to use the 'SoftwareSerial' library to designate other two generic pins (GPIOs) to be used as a serial port (SW).

The problem is that the PC Serial Monitor also use the same serial port (PC is used here as a generic term, but I hope my Mac does not listen to me -). Sometimes this is complicated, as in the case of Arduino UNO, once only for HW Serial '0' (pins 0 and 1) can work at that speed. In general, the module comes from manufactures speaking at a 115,200 baud rate. Well, the first thing you have to do is test the module with AT commands, which is the standard of communication.

Until today, I only studied the ESP8266 connected to the Arduino, replacing the need for a relatively expensive Wifi shield (Shield, is a PCB that you install at a top of an Arduino to expand its capabilities). The above spec includes a lot of technical stuff that you do not really need in the great part of your projects, but it is good to have a hand 'just in case'.

Standby power consumption of <1.0mW (DTIM3).

A-MPDU & A-MSDU aggregation & 0.4ms guard interval.

SDIO 1.1 / 2.0, SPI, UART STBC, 1 × 1 MIMO, MIMO 2 × 1.

Integrated low power 32-bit CPU Could be used the application processor.

+ 19.5dBm output power in 802.11b mode.

Integrated PLLs, regulators, DCXO and power management units.

Integrated TR switch, balun, LNA, power amplifier and matching network.

A lot of inportant info is possible to be found at ESP82 Forum: To control 'things' there is no need to have the Arduino itself to the interface because the ESP8266 has 2 GPIOs (two 'pin' input / output). It is a complete module, which includes a microprocessor which can be programmed directly via the Arduino IDE (C++), or in other environments to build (usually using a high level language itself, the 'LUA'). The ESP8266 is perhaps the most versatile serial module to connect 'things' at the Internet, that why it is so popular in the world of IoT. In this This first tutorial you will learn how to set-up and test the module connected to an Arduino. This is the part 1 of 3 instructables to help you to use the ESP8266 with Arduino.
