Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device
about 6 months or a year ago I mentioned an 8266 UART-WIFI bridge. After programming a few files into it, after that it just starts up able to send and receiving at set baud over your wifi settings. You can use some terminal program to send and receive although I made a visual studio program to do that to/from an f2525 at 115K baud. The few 8266's I programmed have been working constantly for several years. All the work is then done directly with serial. I set up the f2525's with timer and UART interrupts. The timer int loops the program 10X a second and when a character comes in, it is checked in small asm at int. It checks for a start '[' and end ']' characters and raises flags to start taking characters and then process the received string...... so it is basically real time receive thing. The files programmed in the 8266 have a web page for setting and other more advanced things I never used. The modules were $5 amazon.
