ESP8266 Community Forum

I'd like to use the ESP8266 in a RC application, e.g. two ESP8266 talk to each other.

I found lots of examples on how to connect one ESP8266 to the internet (to an Access Point) - but now how two connect two ESP8266 without an Access Point / Router.

Image I have my stuff somewhere in the middle of nowhere where there's no internet, AP, router. Only 2x Arduino and 2x ESP8266. How can I make both talk to each other?

Run one in Station mode, the other in Soft AP mode?

I tried this solution but I found problems in the client module, I had two esp in ap mode, then sometime one try to connect as station to other. I wrote code using sdk c and I found problems because esp client cannot set the ip address.... Loop during got ip... I tried to connect to esp using smartphone and I receive a valid ip address.... I perforned many tests and I evalutate to moving to AT solution with arduino ....
