Getting started with the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module

For this guide you will need:


-

1 x ESP8266 Wi-Fi module


1 x Arduino microcontroller board (Im using UNO R3)
1 x Arduino DC power supply
1 x Arduino USB cable
1 x Breadboard
Several wires to connect everything up
Arduino IDE installed on your machine
PuTTY terminal software (download it if you dont have it, its free and doesnt
require installation)

Steps/Instructions:
1. Remove MCU from arduino board
2. Wire ESP8266 RX to arduino RX
3. Wire ESP8266 TX to arduino TX
4. Wire ESP8266 CH_PD to arduino VCC
5. Wire ESP8266 VCC to arduino 3.3V
6. Wire ESP8266 GND to arduino GND
7. Power the arduino from the DC jack
8. Connect arduino via USB to computer
9. Load arduino IDE and bring up the serial monitor
10. Ensure baud rate is 9600 (or whatever the ESP8266 is configured to communicate
with) and Both NL & CR is selected
11. Test communication is effective by sending AT, you should get back an OK
12. Now send AT+CWJAP=3, you should get back an OK
13. Send AT+RST, you should get back an OK
14. Send AT+CIPMUX=1, you should get back an OK
15. Send AT+CIPSERVER=1, 5050, you should get back an OK
16. The module is now ready to communicate so send AT+CIFSR and take note of the
IP address given
17. Run PuTTY.
18. In the session tab choose connection type Raw.
19. In the host name field paste the IP address you took note of earlier
20. In the port field enter 5050
21. In the terminal tab choose Force on for both Local echo and Local line editing
22. You can choose to save this configuration if you wish back in the session tab
23. Click open and voila! Test by writing something in PuTTY console and hitting enter
24. You should see what you wrote appear in Arduino IDE serial monitor
