Hello,

I'd like to have some sort of communication bridge between two ESP8266 module just like in classic BL and I got lost with all the internet terms of Client, HTTP client, access point, server,station, ect.

So I'd like to ask what is the best solution for such a request(it'd be best not to even be able to see any of the modules in wifi scanning(for example with the smartphone) ) and have as real time communication as possible for very low datarate.

It'd be very useful to also have an example attached for arduino sins I'm realy just getting started.
Would also like to utilize the UART and GPIO of each module.

Thanks for helping.

Start here - https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/ ... eadme.html

Then try this example

Use your PC on your network to talk to the ESP8266 with the Packet Sender program. Get familiar with it. Then you can add a second ESP and talk to it.

After all that you can set up one ESP8266 to create it's own Access Point and the second ESP programmed as a Station can connect to it. No need for joining an existing connection. Al this is one way to accomplish what you ask. There are others.

Because it is WiFi the SSID will still be visible but is that really a problem? Have a password so that nobody else can join.

Or the ESP8266 can use a mode different than WiFi, called ESP-Now. https://www.espressif.com/en/products/s ... w/overview

I never tried it. I believe it is more like Bluetooth.

Well thanks,

But when I try to program the Wemos D1 mini pro it won't let me but it blinks a few times and then prints that error in the console :



Any idea why?
