- Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:37 am #36555 So i got my self a ESP8266 ESP-12 Full Evaluation Board
and i would like to use the iot framework (http://www.electrodragon.com/w/ESP8266_IoT_Firmware)
but i have some questions and would like yours help (thanks).
a. could i access the esp while i am connecting to my router ?(not to change the wifi)
b. i can access my rgb led by doing as in the example:
Set status
curl -X POST -H Content-Type:application/json -d '{"freq":100,"rgb":{"red":200,"green":0,"blue":0}}' http://ip/config?command=light
but i can't access the io`s why ?
c. is there a way to have new framework without usb connection?

thank you all !

You can configure the esp to use the same wifi network as you are using.

Wifi and serial are two completely independent interfaces, and you can use each one as you wish.
