send AT commands to esp8266 via Arduino
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:11 amHello I use a esp8266. I can communicate with the esp without any problems over the serial monitor.
If i use the code from page https://techwithabhi.wordpress.com/2015 ... fi-module/
I will receive a lot of crap signs, see the attached picture
If i use the code from page https://techwithabhi.wordpress.com/2015 ... fi-module/
Code: Select all
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial esp8266(2,3); // make RX Arduino line is pin 2, make TX Arduino line is pin 3.
// This means that you need to connect the TX line from the esp to the Arduino's pin 2
// and the RX line from the esp to the Arduino's pin 3
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
esp8266.begin(9600); // your esp's baud rate might be different
}
void loop()
{
if(esp8266.available()) // check if the esp is sending a message
{
while(esp8266.available())
{
// The esp has data so display its output to the serial window
char c = esp8266.read(); // read the next character.
Serial.write(c);
}
}
if(Serial.available())
{
// the following delay is required because otherwise the arduino will read the first letter of the command but not the rest
// In other words without the delay if you use AT+RST, for example, the Arduino will read the letter A send it, then read the rest and send it
// but we want to send everything at the same time.
delay(1000);
String command="";
while(Serial.available()) // read the command character by character
{
// read one character
command+=(char)Serial.read();
}
esp8266.println(command); // send the read character to the esp8266
}
} I will receive a lot of crap signs, see the attached picture
