ESP8266

Post by georgp »

Hi I am trying to get the ESP8266 going with flowcode. Lots of info but where do I start. What Firmware, the flowcode part is it AT commands, LUA. Then some videos shows a chippack. LUA seems good but I would rather use flowcode for all sorts of reasons mainly on Arduino boards. The Flowcode help file mentions property references HTML Page 1 that can be referenced? How.
Sorry for the stupid questions but i have nodemcu, and Xbee Wee units and simply cannot the examples going on any of these boards.

The esp component requires the AT firmware to be loaded and the module to be connected to a serial port on of your arduino/controller.

Anybody tried the ESP8266 on Arduino UNO or Leonardo I get c:1536: warning: passing argument 3 of 'FCI_SCOPY' discards qualifiers from pointer target type when I compile.
Any idea how to solve this. THX

Those warnings are annoying but can be ignored.

Ok thanks I found the problem it is the serial port on the Leonardo I use. It has an XBEE socket and I am plugging a wee ESP8266 in there. The schematic indicates the serial as D+ and D- . Can I change this in Flowcode as it allows only for Channel 1 D3 and D2.
