ESP8266 Community Forum

- Mon Jan 05, 2015 12:01 am #6305 Hi,

I'm new to electronics and IoT and just getting started. I want to control lights etc via wifi using the ESP8266.

I have got the module to work with the Arduino. It is connecting to my Wifi network and communicating perfectly. However I need to fix the IP address of the device.

The following commands return an ERROR every time
AT+CIPSTA?
AT+CIPSTA=ip
AT+CIPSTAMAC?
AT+CIPAPMAC?

module is configured with CWMODE=1
version is 0.9.2.4

all other commands are working perfectly.
please let me know what I must do. Should I flash the device and if so which firmware? thanks a lot.

- Mon Jan 05, 2015 6:26 am #6329 can you show AT+GMR result?
your firmware may not be supporting those ip related at command.

I updated the firmware using Eclipse method and it works I guess those commands were introduced in the new firmware.

Thanks
