Where I buy my ESP8266 boards from... (Banggood)

- Tue Jan 02, 2018 10:38 am #72828 Thanks for the example. I look forward to trying this. One question though. As a newbie, how do you change the address? Looks like your using "172.16.0.112". I tried typing that into the settings and saving it, but the address, keeps changing back to "192.168.4.1". I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Someone, please set me straight.

Thanks

Most often it is 192.168.1.x Sometimes it is 192.168.0.x also make sure the subnet is 255.255.255.0 this would be typical.

If you are having trouble saving changes try and save it a couple of times consecutively.

I guess I am not entirely sure how you are doing the ESP to ESP communication whether you are using WGET and msgbranch or something different I'm kinda rusty myself been wrapped up in other projects around the house I got enough projects that I could take off work for a few weeks and still probably not get them all finished lol but it is all fun stuff I wannna do little at a time.

Thank you for the quick reply. What I would like to do, is have one ESP as the AP, and another as a station (if that's possible... ie. no router). Obviously, both ESP's can't have the same address ("192.168.4.1"). If I change the station to something like "192.168.4.2" will that work? If it will, how do I change the ip address to "192.168.4.2"? Anyway, that's my thought process.
