- Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:43 am #12427 I haven't actually any experience with C coding, but I just did something by trial and error, based on many examples around and it actually works! It's probably a very ugly hack, but I don't care You can find my fork of this repository on https://github.com/jvandenbroek/ESP8266 ... ent-bridge with GPIO2 switching option. Just flash the 2 bin files in the firmware folder and you're good to go.

Usage is simple:

Code: Select all+++AT GPIO2 <1|0>                        # set GPIO2 pin HIGH or LOW (1/0)

Nothing else has changed.
Enjoy!

Wow! I'm looking forward to test, I have a project sitting waiting for this fix. Will report back here when tested.

I succesfully flashed the eagle.app.v6.flash.bin and eagle.app.v6.irom0text.bin and now i would like set the SSID and Password settings.
I tried to connect through the USB to serial converter I used for flashing the firmware, but when I configure and start the terminal software,
the screen is filled with garbage characters and i am not able to enter commands.
As I don't know the ESP8266's SSID, I cannot connect through wifi.
How would I telnet to an IP adress if I can't connect to the ESP module?

Obviously I'm doing something completely wrong and would be much helped if someone could advice me on how to set this thing up for my wireless network.

Unfortunately the standard baud rate was set to 74880 baud.
The transparent bridge software allows AT commands from the telnet side only.
Have a look in your WLAN router, if your ESP8266 is seen, and an IP address is provided via DHCP.
If so, you can telnet to the ESP8266 and set the baud rate via AT command. Have a look also at:
http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/WiFi2AT-ESP8266

If you have no IP address, flash a standard firmware >=0 0.9.2 and set the WiFi parameters.
Those parameters are kept in flash ROM, even if you change the firmware.
Then you can flash again the transparent bridge firmware.
