Hello ESP community! I have an alphabot2-Ar ( https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/AlphaB... ) with an integrated Arduino Uno Plus and i bought a wifi module ESP8266 to communicate with the PC. How can i send sensor information from the robot to the PC so that i can send the movement commands back to the arduino in the robot from my PC? I have to do this using ROS to create nodes for the PC, Matlab and Robot, so thats another problem to me :? Image

Looks nice (working link to the product).
What have you tried yourself and what resources have you been checking out up to now?

Thanks for the answer. Well i bought this module with an adapter v1.0 you know what it is right? So first i tried to do some examples remotely with a webserver where i could turn on and off a led remotely and it worked but I don't want this. I want to be able to send sensor data to the PC and analyse it (using matlab maybe) and send to the robot the movement commands, all that using ROS
