Hi, how to apply a .diff file ?

Go into the right directory (see below) and type:

Code: Select allpatch -p1 < file.diff

The real difficulty is to figure out how the patch was created and where you apply it, i.e. how many directory levels you have to dive before reaching the actual files: this is the purpose of the "-p1" argument, which specifies to ignore one directory level.

If unsure, the option "--dry-run" is useful to test if the diff file will apply correctly.

- Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:43 pm #8257 i have no experience with esp8266. Been searching for wifi modules for controlling robot from my phone or laptop.

The thing is as there always is some external wifi access point required in all projects i have seen.

i want to connect my phone directly to the module. Basically it should be acting as a wifi serial link, so i can send data to microcontroller via this module.

i have been looking at soft-ap mode, but there is no demonstration for that.
