P2P - How?
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2015 5:16 pm
I'm working on a project that will have a ESP8266 board with an Arduino at a remote site (no wifi AP). A user will approach with a Android device. They will need to talk to each other P2P (Wifi Direct). Can anyone tell me how to config the ESP8266 and Arduino? Any good refs I should be reading?
I do know how to program but have little knowledge of wifi protocols. Have been reading a lot of 8266 setup info and see lots on determining assigned IP from an access point.
My guess is the Arduino needs to broadcast an SSID and be set to receive packets. This will also be my initial attempt to do an Android app, but I'm hoping for some help with that.
Thanks!
