Problem accessing the ESP8266 server from my PC
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 11:08 amI am trying to get Make's "Installing and Building an Arduino Sketch for the $5 ESP8266 Microcontroller" program running as my first venture with an ESP8266-01. I am using Sparkfun's RedBoard version of an Uno for 3.3V power and Tx/Rx connection to the 8266. I achieved network connection and see the IP for my 8266. But when I do http://gpio/1 in my Chrome browser I don't even see the "new client" message. Also, I can't ping the IP successfully from my computer. I can ping OK from my wife's computer in the kitchen, but still can't do the http://gpio/1 successfully. I tried putting the ESP8266 in the kitchen and pinging from my PC, but still no luck. Can you help?
