- Thu Sep 11, 2014 2:04 pm #454 Has anyone tried using this chip as a TCP socket client? I have written a socket server for it, but ESP chip keeps disconnecting from the socket after exactly 60 seconds every time.
Can someone try? I have the first version, not new 091.

This is what I did:

Code: Select allAT+CIPSTART=4,"TCP","192.168.1.6",8000

(I get "OK" as a response and connection on my server... and then if I don't do anything to it, it disconnects after 60seconds). There must be a timeout in this old firmware.

I want this chip to connect to my server and stay connected

- Fri Sep 12, 2014 1:29 am #469 Thanks, I will give it a try.

I have been looking at the command list here: http://www.electrodragon.com/w/Wi07c instead of here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing

Oh man I wish they publish the source for this AT application, it needs some serious work.

- Fri Sep 12, 2014 1:46 am #470 Oh no, I have the old version of this module which doesn't support the AT+CIPSTO command

Code: Select allAT+GMR

01000800

OK

AT+CIPSTO=120

ERROR

So sad.
