It is my first post here, and I apologize in advance for my complete noob post.
I bought from Amazon an Arduino Mega 2560 + ESP8266 (maker: WINGONEER). I got an Arduino sketch working through AT commands, and quickly stumbled on a widely reported problem: UDP packets have a delay of ~250ms unless the server sends a response to each packet (and in my case, the ping is 300ms so I cannot speed up packet sending...!). I need to send packets every 50ms or so.
I checked the ESP8266 firmware on my board and found it was SDK 0.9.5. After some research, I decided to follow this article (https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduin ... n-ESP8266/) and upgraded to SDK 1.5.0 (I used the exact addresses shown in the flashing section).
The board boots alright, and AT commands are accepted by the ESP8266. But I cannot connect to my Wifi Hotspot any longer, AT+CWJAP throws a "9 error", for which I cannot find any explanation for.
I tried several firmwares (ESP8266_AT_Bin_V1.5.1, esp_iot_sdk_v1.5.0) and get the same outcome each time: AT commands work, but I can't connect to a Wifi hotspot (9 error).
Just wondered if anyone had some tips for me here to get this board running again...?
Cheers,
Tony
