Hi everyone am new to wify modules and I was wondering if you could give me a tour. I was thinking of making my AVR microprocessor wireless with ESP module and connect to the router. My main goal is to try and make a TCP connection with my PC to a port and make a window form application in C# using visual studio to sent and receive data. If u have some information on how to connect to my router and speak to a port with C# i ll be thankful. Sadly there are very few things, or at least i found, concerning communication of ESP with a programming language. Thank you all for your time and knowledge, looking forward to learn.

try to start with esp8266, usb to serial, serial terminal, and tcp/udp terminal.
im using hercules for my terminals.

them move to esp8266, avr, tcp/udp teminal.

then finish with esp8266, avr, and your c# app.

Thanks for the reply i got it going till now. Currently am studding esp command sets and am able to understand how it connects and communicates. I would like to ask something specific. After i connect my esp to a network then i need to create a tcp listener i think and bind it with a port on my pc but to sent data using C# i need to specify a port. Does esp have ports or it doesn't matter what port i try to reach since esp may not work with ports? And finally i would like to ask if esp sends and receive raw byte data like any other tcp connection, well am certain it does but confirmation would be nice since i would have to find a way to translate the raw bytes to strings like i do with my C# tcp server.

Thanks for your time,
regards Chris.
