- Thu Feb 26, 2015 8:06 am #10784 Maybe beginners question, but is it possible to create a LUA script so that
1) one esp8266 A module would be AP named "esp"
2) second esp8266 B would be client and connect to "esp", and send some data for example temperature
3) immediately after first esp8266 A has received data from second module B it would change it's mode from AP to client and connect to my main 3G-router and report measurements to outside world
4) after successful delivery to outside world module A would switch from client back to AP named "esp"and listen if B would connect to it

Is this good or bad idea? Or is it better to wait and look if some good coders can create mesh networks with esp8266?

I was planning to modify this:

I like ESP8266 and ESP8285 and ESP32

- Thu Feb 26, 2015 3:50 pm #10834 Is there a way to know that data came from sta or ap, meaning on which network did message arrive?

The ESP forming mesh.
To test, flash the binary in three four ESP.
place them as
Just switch-on the devices after gap of 10-15 sec.

Now check the connectivity by issuing AT+CIPSTATUS.
Send command AT+PINGROOT to send data (static for now) to Root.
