- Thu Mar 24, 2016 1:55 pm #43961 Hi,

I flashed successfully ESP8266Basic in the WEMOS D1 Mini.
Just link GND to D3 on the right headers.
Also reset beetween link and flash. Also reset after flashing and link removal.
Made a small Basic Test. OK

Next step is to secure the ESP with the Name and Pass in Setting page.

I am a little messed there.
What is the adress in "http://192.168.4.1/edit" ?
How can I give an IP adress to the Wemos ? Can it be anyone ? (I am not skilled really ....)
I entered NAME and PASS and SAVED in the station mode, but I don't have a router.
Should I use AP mode (APplication mode ?)
I am sorry to have to ask these questions, but networking was not a prerequisite before in my projects, and it became with my new project (this is the cause of choosing ESP8266 and the ESP8266Basic).

Thank you to have taken time to read me !

When you flash the ESP8266Basic on your Wemos it starts being an acces point (AP), when you open that network called 'ESP' than you are able to go to http://192.168.4.1/edit in the settings part you can change the password/SSID for the network to connect to, otherwise your Wemos sets up its own network...

What is the adress in "http://192.168.4.1/edit" ?

This is its static IP adress, when it is broadcasting its own network, this is where you need to be.

How can I give an IP adress to the Wemos ? Can it be anyone ? (I am not skilled really ....)

Don't know, when connected to a router it is usually limited to a certain set, when it creates it's own network you should be able to choose (at least in the other ESP languages)

I entered NAME and PASS and SAVED in the station mode, but I don't have a router.
Should I use AP mode (APplication mode ?)

When you don't have a router use Access point mode, the ESP will act as a router than.

No problems, I'm not really in fond of the BASIC language for the ESP, I'm mostly using the Arduino for ESP

Connect and control everything using the w-esp a software and hardware project for making IoT easier:

Thank you mery much for your very clear answer.
That helps me really.
I am afraid my 2 previous posts are very badly written.
Anyway, I see where to go.

Good evening,

Guy

Can I get a source code to make the ESP module (which is in a wemos d1 mini in my case) act as an AP please?
