Function Description

Main Function:

ESP8266 can realize the main functions as follows:

• Serial port passthrough: data transmission, good reliability of transfer; the maximum transmission rate is up to 460800bps.
  
• PWM regulation and control: light adjustment, RGB LED adjustment, motor speed control and more.
  
• GPIO control: control the switches, relays and more.
  

Working Mode:

ESP8266 module supports three working modes: STA/AP/STA+AP

• STA mode: The ESP8266 module can access to the Internet through a router, so the mobile phone or computer can remotely control the device through the Internet.
  

• AP mode: The ESP8266 module acts as a hotspot to enable communication directly with the mobile phone or computer to achieve wireless control of the local area network (LAN).
  

• STA+AP mode: The coexistence mode of the above two modes, that is, can achieve the seamless switching through the Internet control, more convenient for operation.
  

Applications:

• 1)Serial port CH340 to Wi-Fi;
• 2)Industrial transparent transmission DTU;
• 3)Wi-Fi remote monitoring/control;
• 4)Toy field
• 5)Color LED control;

Note: The code USES the AT instruction of esp-01 to realize the required functions. Please refer to the specific AT instructions mentioned below.

Use and Result

• A、connect the UNO R3 main board to the computer via USB port with a square USB cable; then open the arduino IDE to upload the test code to UNO R3.
• B、Unplug the USB cable; connect the esp-01 module to UNO R3 main board using jumper wires according to the connection diagram.
• C、supply the power to UNO R3 main board via black DC power jack with 2-cell 18650 batteries; wait for a few seconds, LED labeled L on the UNO R3 will normally turn on. Otherwise, pull out the power cable and repower again.

Set ESP-01 as Client and connect server

Tools

(1)Prepare the hardware components as follows:

• Computer *1
• TTL USB to serial port module *1
• Esp-01 module *1
• Mini USB cable *1

(2)Software: using esp8266 debugging tool or USR-TCP232-Test debug tool

Connection

Connect ESP-01 module to TTL USB-to-serial port module:

Detailed debugging

• A、Follow the connection diagram to connect ESP-01 module to TTL USB-to-serial port module;
  
• B、Connect the TTL USB-to-serial port module to the computer using a mini USB cable.
  

SPECIAL NOTE: need to program the corresponding drive to the TTL USB-to-serial port module before use.

• C、Open the USR-TCP232-Test debug tool, click to select the language, select the proper USB port and set the baud rate to 115200; set the Recv Options , open the serial port. As shown below.

• D、AT+CWMODE=3 set the ESP-01 module as mode 3:

Special attention:
1 : To fill in the instruction, a newline character should be added after the instruction is typed, as shown in the figure above. All subsequent instructions should be operated in this way.
2 : To send instructions to esp-01.
3 : The information returned after the instruction is received by esp-01.

• E、AT+CWJAP="KEYES_server","123456789" connect to server ESP-01 WIFI:

• F、AT+CIPAP_CUR="192.168.1.20","192.168.1.20" modify the IP of client ESP-01 AP; modifying the IP of AP is to avoid the conflict between client AP’s IP and server AP’s IP. As figure shown below.

• G、AT+CIPSTART="TCP","192.168.4.1",333 connect to server ESP-01, as shown below.

• H、Send the AT+CIPMODE=1 command to set the client ESP-01 as pass-through mode. As shown below.

• I、Send the AT+CIPSEND command means the client ESP-01 send the data instruction to the server ESP-01. As shown below.

• J、client ESP-01 sends the “OK” character to server ESP-01; trigger the server ESP-01 to send the “arduino” character to client ESP-01 all the time. As figure shown below.

• K、At this moment, the LED labeled L on the UNO R3 main board connected to server ESP-01 will turn on normally, which illustrates it always send the data to client ESP-01.
