Greetings, Dave!

There is indeed a basic-of-sorts, a scripting language called LUA thats already been ported to the ESP8266.

Makes things much easier, and other folks have developed IDEs to be...

True. People have done amazing things with the ESP8266, and uploading to Thingspeak. Also absolves you from having to learn HTML, I guess.

For those yet to discover these, there have been a slew...

A couple of days back, some guys ported a version of LUA (hadnt heard of that before), onto the ESP8266.

This replaces the stock firmware, and makes things much easier, apparently. Also lets you...

Henrik, thanks a lot for sharing your work. It looks very interesting indeed.

I'm away from my base till mid next week. Cant wait to get back and give it a try.

I'll report my experience soon...

Well, for starters, I would like to connect a pic to the 8266's UART outputting some data, and expect it to be seen in the browser. And then, perhaps, feed in data into the browser, to be read by the...

Not trying to be pushy, but I wonder if you have had any success, Henrik?

I ran into a wall after getting the basic comms working (connecting to my router). Of course, the fact that I know nothing...

Okay, problem solved.

I had inadvertently given a wrong password for my router, and the module would keep on trying to log on continuously.

Used the AT+CWQAP, re-defined my SSID and password,...

Thanks, guys! Got the chap running. Extra thanks to Henrik for pointing out that Ch_PD I/O needs to be pulled high. I had missed that.

Serial comms with terminal work ok.

Can see the module on...

Henrik, I'm trying to connect the module to a terminal emulator. I have a true serial port on my PC (not a USB-to-serial).

I understand I'll have to use a level shifter. But, would I also need to...

Thats good valuable information, Henrik. Thanks.

Well folks, this comes close enough to get you started.

Great! Looking forward to your observations.

Oops! ESP8266 it is.

I did visit that forum, and its rich with information.

Quite a learning curve, though..

Almost 2 months after placing my order, and almost after giving up hopes of delivery, the modules arrived today!

I tried googling for any reference to PBP and EN8266, but did not get anything...

Thanks for the forum link, Pedja. Didnt realize they'd already have a forum dedicated to this chap.

BTW, there seem to be a couple of versions (different form-factors) available on ALiExpress. I...

Sparkfun seems to have a basic minimalistic writeup.

Couldnt decide where this post should go, but I thought Ethernet would be appropriate.

Has anybody noticed this new gem yet?
