I have ask to forum arduino, but no reply.

I have problem to connecting the esp8266 to arduino.
the wiring diagram like the picture below.

WiringDiagramEsp8266.png

I use library from https://github.com/itead/ITEADLIB_Arduino_WeeESP8266
Here is my code.

Code: Select all

#include "ESP8266.h"
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define SSID        "ITD.staff"
#define PASSWORD    "itdnew2015"


SoftwareSerial myserial(3,2); // rx=3,tx=2
ESP8266 wifi(myserial);
void setup(void)
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
   // wifi.begin(115200);
   // Serial.println(wifi.print("AT"));
    Serial.print("setup begin\r\n");

    Serial.print("FW Version: ");
    Serial.println(wifi.getVersion().c_str());
    Serial.print("Kick : ");
    Serial.println(wifi.kick());
    Serial.print("Restart : ");
    Serial.println(wifi.restart());
    if (wifi.setOprToStation()) {
        Serial.print("to station ok\r\n");
    } else {
        Serial.print("to station err\r\n");
    }

    if (wifi.joinAP(SSID, PASSWORD)) {
        Serial.print("Join AP success\r\n");
        Serial.print("IP: ");       
        Serial.println(wifi.getLocalIP().c_str());
    } else {
        Serial.print("Join AP failure\r\n");
    }
    
    Serial.print("setup end\r\n");
}

void loop(void)
{
}

the output like picture below.

pls help me

Looks like this is not the right forum for this question.
Here we are discussing things around ESP8266 with Arduino IDE. (without an arduino board)

But what I see:
Communication is not proper. Partly wrong charakters.
Normally a arduino has 5V level at the I/O pins. The ESP is at 3,3V.
It is recommended to use a level shifter for Tx and Rx.
Without it can work or not.

Edit:
wondering, that its partially working. You define Softserial at Pin 2/3 for the ESP. And connect the Board at normal Tx/Rx (Pin 0/1)
And Rx should be connected with Tx and vice versa.
You are sure, that your wiring diagram is matching to your hardware. I doubt .

You should use an adapter to power the esp8266 from arduino. The 3.3v regulator can't provide enough current.
