Hello. I have 2 Wemos d1(retired) boards. I just simply need to send some data or a letter from one to the other. I searched the web deeply and found some complicated NodeMCU stuff and so on. Even though I could send data when I flashed NodeMCU to my Wemos,it was useless because my project is about arduino. I need to work Arduino IDE. There was a way to create a WebServer on one of the wemos and then deal with html files. But isn't it so complicated for just sending a couple of bytes?. i don't need any webserver or html page. So please help me.

Try UDP messages.

Updated with new link.

But, you can really do a lot of neat stuff if you use SPIFFS to store javascript and HTML5 code for the client then talk over the connection if websockets. My project here.

Hey guys! You helped me a lot, I could create a Tcp server/client. And it is working pretty well. Except there is one serious problem with my server. It works great after I upload my sketch to it. But when I reset it or plug it off and then on , it does not even enter setup.

Code: Select all

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <WiFiServer.h>


const int back=D8;
const int go=D7;
const int left=D6;
const int right=D5;

const char *ssid = "MyESPAP";
const char *password = "MyPassword";

WiFiServer server(80);



void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Test4");
    pinMode(go,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(back,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(right,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(left,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(go,HIGH);
digitalWrite(back,LOW);
digitalWrite(left,LOW);
digitalWrite(right,HIGH);
  //WiFi.disconnect();
  delay(100);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP);
  Serial.println("Configuring Access Point ...");
  
  WiFi.softAP(ssid, password);
  IPAddress myIP = WiFi.softAPIP();
  Serial.print(myIP);
  server.begin();
  
}

WiFiClient client;
char c;
int count=0;
void loop() 
{
  Serial.println("I am in loop...");
    
    if (!client.connected()) {
        Serial.println("Waiting client...");
        client = server.available();
    } 
    while(client.connected()) {
        
        if (client.available() > 0) {
          c = (char)client.read();
            Serial.println(c);
             if(c=='F')
        {
          digitalWrite(back,LOW);
          digitalWrite(go,LOW);
           
        }
          if(c=='B')
          {
          digitalWrite(go,HIGH);
           digitalWrite(back,HIGH);  
            }
            if(c=='S')
            {
              digitalWrite(back,LOW);
              digitalWrite(go,HIGH);
              }
           if(c=='R')
           {
            digitalWrite(left,LOW);
            digitalWrite(right,LOW);
            }
            if(c=='L')
            {
              digitalWrite(right,HIGH);
              digitalWrite(left,HIGH);
              }
              if(c=='M')
              {
                digitalWrite(right,HIGH);
                digitalWrite(left,LOW);
                }
        }
       while(!(client.available()>0))
       {
        delay(50);
        count++;
        if(count>60)
          {
            client.stop();
            return;
            }
        }
       count=0;
     }
          
    
    client.stop();
    digitalWrite(go,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(back,LOW);
    digitalWrite(left,LOW);
    digitalWrite(right,HIGH);
}

You see that "Test4" there in the setup. I don't see it when I reset or switch device on.
Some part of the code may seem really beginner level

. You might guess that I am working on a RCCar project. But it works pretty well except that problem I mentioned.
