Replace bluetooth module with ESP8266
Posted: Sat May 02, 2015 1:25 amHi,
I have an Arduino project that uses Bluetooth to communicate with an Android app. This works fine but I would like to replace BT with wifi while keeping the communication as simple as possible. Is is possible to use the ESP8266 for basic (serial like) communication over a network, and if so, what should I be looking in to? I have no experience with network protocols but if somebody can point me the right direction I should be OK.
