Trying to access ESP8266 via Telnet
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 3:17 pmHi, im new to arduino and the ESP8266 and I am following this tutorial http://rancidbacon.com/files/kiwicon8/ESP8266_WiFi_Module_Quick_Start_Guide_v_1.0.4.pdf to set my ESP8266 chip just to see is it works. Currently i am stuck on talking to it via a device with telnet ( in the "Acting as a TCP Server" section, it won't link. I am using an Arduino Micro, Rx and Tx on the ESP are connected respectively to the Tx and Rx on the Arduino, Ground on the ESP is connected to ground on the Arduino, and ch_pd, rst, and Vcc on the ESP are connected to 3.3V on the arduino. I have no idea what could be wrong as this worked at home, the only issue that I think may be relevant is that I am connected(on the chip) to college guest wifi as the regular wifi requires the student id and password and I don't know how to do that on the ESP.
