- Thu Sep 27, 2018 7:21 pm #78417 I am trying to use AT commands to set up ESP as SoftAP, and enable TRANSPARENT serial port at 115200; I am NOT using Jeelabs since I need the IP address of ESP to be 192.168.0.74 and I need my laptop to attach and be 192.168.0.75. BTW, I have confirmed JeeLabs Link does work while 192.168.4.1, but again I need specific IP address set.

I am using this with NO luck;


+++
AT+RST
AT+CWSAP="ESP","",1,0 '' set up SSID
AT+CIPAP="192.168.0.74" SET UP IP ADDRESS
AT+UART_DEF=115200,8,1,0,0 '' set up UART
AT+CWMODE=3 '' seup up as Soft AP and STATION MODE
AT+CIPMUX=1 '' MULTIPLE STATIONS CONNECT (TRIED 0 also)
AT+CIPSTART=4,"UDP","192.168.0.74",23 '' Set up UDP connection and port
AT+CIPMODE=1

As test; I connect to ESP using laptop on SSID "ESP" , use 2x RealTerm sessions (one connected to FTDI to ESP set to 115200, one set to port 192.168.0.74:telnet-this works with JeeLabs), NO LUCK.

Has anyone set up two esps, one as AP, one as Station, connect together and open end to end transparent serial ports? Love to hear your results....

Any help appreciated. Also, I will reward anyone whom can crack open Jeelabs code and change IP address for me.

ALSO- bonus points if you can crack open Jeelabs link code and make it possible to do a transparent link from ESP to ESP, one as Station, one as SoftAP; using IP address above, and have transparent serial to serial com.

Thanks

Again, works with Jeelabs, only IP address is fixed to 192.168.4.1. Also, If I make board Station, it will work correctly. I have wasted a bunch of time on this.

Could use some help...Has ANYONE ever made transparent serial AP with user defined IP address?

- Wed Oct 03, 2018 10:43 am #78478 To be honoust: I never knew it is possible to create a transparent connection using AT command firmware (can it really?).

I know there are some transparent bridge projects on Github, but never played with any of them,so can't tell how they perform.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
