I know its not much but I'd gladly pay someone for help getting started. I haven't found a tutorial that answers all my questions so maybe you can.

All i want to know is how to make a remote control for my Arduino. Just 5 volts on or off to like 10 inputs.

I have:
a mac running 10.9
a win 7 laptop
an r2 arduino
a few voltage regulators
a few esp01's
a few esp03's
a sparkfun 3.3v basic breakout (that may or may not be producing enough current?)
a multimeter
a soldiering iron
and of course a breadboard


Thanks in advance!

- Fri Dec 05, 2014 9:09 pm #4094 you should know how the SerialEvent example from arduino and how ESP module AT Command work for a start.

Now:
- Connect esp module to arduino
a lot of good tutorials for that

- Connect ESP module to an AP
AT+CWMODE=3
AT+CWJAP="ssid","password"

- Start tcp server on esp module
AT+CIPMUX=1
AT+CIPSERVER=1,80

- Run a tcp client to connect/send data to esp module
Hercules on Windows
telnet on mac Terminal
TCP Test Tool on ipad/iphone

- esp will tx below data to arduino when client send '1'
+IPD,0,1:1
OK

client send '2'
+IPD,0,1:2
OK

client send '3'
+IPD,0,1:3
OK

- parse data on arduino using arduino SerialEvent sample as a reference
toggle arduino IO respectively.

- Fri Dec 05, 2014 9:18 pm #4095 I know how frustrating it could get sometime. There is a lot to learn. So, I made some videos as I figured things out. I've made 5 videos on the ESP8266 so far. Feel free to post questions on my videos or here. No need to pay me. I will do my best to help.

i'm confused about your wiring of the device in the video because it differs from this tutorial.

are you absolutely sure about those gpio2 and gpio0 connecting like that?
