#67765 I'm wondering if anyone has done this - using the ESP to transmit/receive physical serial data over Wifi. Remote end produces lots of telemetry data over a serial link - local end required to log that data (via either a laptop running, say, Telnet to talk to the ESP, or another ESP to covert the data back to serial)...

Looking for as fast as possible serial link, say, ~100kbps.

Any idea what an ESP8266 is capable of/has anyone done it?

I saw this, but it seems to be about getting to the serial interface of the ESP over WiFi, so not quite the same thing, and I've not found a reference to how fast it is http://hackaday.com/2015/09/18/transpar ... al-bridge/

The two statements appear to be the same so try esp-link. The serial port can be set to 115200.
