- Tue Jan 10, 2017 4:15 pm #60809 Hello Guys i have written a code to send data to Dweet.io using TCP connected (through AT Commands). The problem is that even by following the proper method, data sent does not appear on dweet website. Although i do receive this response from the ESP8266 when TCP request is sent.

AT+CIPSEND=098

SEND OK

PS: I am using Tiva Launchpad TM4C123GXL. I have made functions Commandprintln and Commandprintln to send commands to ESP, while println just gives output to FTDI which is connected to PC.
