Sep 12, 2015 - I am using sketch to communicate with esp. Since UNO has only one serial channel, i have used softwareSerial to make pin 2 --->Rx and pin 3---->Tx Here is my sketch:: Code: #include SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial esp8266(2,3); //make RX Arduino line is pin 2, make TX Arduino line is pin 3. From Arduino UNO, send AT commands to ESP8266 via a SoftwareSerial port and receive results. CURRENT STATUS. I either send AT commands and get nothing back (wiring scheme 1) or I send AT commands and get garbage back (wiring scheme 2).Using the Arduino as a pass through (as explained in the tutorial listed in the resources section), I can send AT commands.
If you get no response, try updating the ESP firmware to the one attached. Use a 3.3v FTDI board like this one - Hookup the ESP to the FTDI - Get the ESP8266Flasher - Get the 1.1.1.1 Firmware Flash the ESP 2.
If you receive partial response from the ESP8266 when using software serial, go to: C: Program Files (x86) Arduino hardware arduino avr libraries SoftwareSerial src SoftwareSerial.h Change line 42: #define SSMAXRXBUFF 64 // RX buffer size To: #define SSMAXRXBUFF 256 // RX buffer size. This will enlarge the software serial buffer.
Sometimes setting the baudrate on initialization fails, try resetting the Arduino, it should work fine. If you have any issues, let us know:).
Following on from the post, if you do not have a FTDI serial adaptor you can use an Arduino. Here is how to set up the Arduino to talk to the ESP8266. I an using a 5V Arduino Nano which of course is 5V. The Esp8266 is a 3.3v device and so I am using a voltage divider to bring the Arduinos 5V down to 3.3v.

If you are using a 3.3v Arduino then you do not need the voltage divider. The wiring is very similar to the FTDI.
Arduino pin 3 to voltage divider and then to ESP8266 RX Arduino pin 2 to ESP8266 TX Arduino GND to ESP8266 GND Pull CHPD HIGH with a 10K resistor to +3.3v +3.3V to vcc You only need the voltage divider on the Arduino TX pin. The 5V Arduino will read 3.3v as HIGH so you can connect the ESP8266 TX pin directly to the Arduino RX pin. Make sure the ESP8266 has enough current. If it does not it may keep resetting and may not broadcast a signal. Arduinos cannot supply enough current and you should use a separate power supply. While experimenting I use a bread board power supply.
I am using a simple serial in, serial out sketch. Hi Chris, You are correct, the ESP8266 can draw up to 300mA which is too much for the Arduino.
My test projects were all done on a bread board and I used a bread board power supply which can be set to output either 5V or 3.3V. You can see the set up in the FTDI + ESP8266 post – For a permanent project I would use an external power supply (I have a lot of the 9V ones you get with many of the Arduinos). This would give power to the Arduino and also 3.3V, via a regulator, to the ESP8266. I have also started to use small buck convertor power supplies quite a lot. These handle a wide range of input voltages and a wide range of output voltages and can be bought very cheaply. My problem like this: it’s my first time use this module,when i try like your tutorial, need more than five time i tried, and i got same like that, the ESP respones and i can write the command, but when i try again tomorrow, ESP don’t respons again like yesterday, and i must check wiring again and repair it and make sure if my wiring is same.
But i cann’t get same respons like yesterday, i cann’t write command, ESP just respons stranger word, i want to know what is the main problem, is it just about the power of battery, because every day it’s less and now not 3v again or what?? And i never flash from first time i bought and my battery now is just 2.78V. I want to interface Arduino Uno and ESP8266 for IoT project where i have to control the device from webpage,but before that i wanted to check the above code for Arduino to ESP8266 by Serial Communication.So interfaced Arduino Uno with ESP8266 and powered ESP8266 with External adapter with 3.3V, ESP8266 baud rate is 115200 and in the code i changed Serial.begin(115200) and ESPserial.begin(115200). After i uploaded the above code in Arduino IDE and opened serial monitor,made both NL and CR but i got the message saying ” Remember to set Both NL & CR in the serial monitor. Ready ” After that no response.I tried with different baud rates and also typed AT,but no response. Can you please suggest. If using a 3.3v Arduino you connect direct.
No need the voltage divider. I presume this is how you have it connected.
It sounds like you may have the baud rate too high? If using software serial, try AltSoftSerial. If using a high baud rate bring it down a bit. Using Software Serial I have only ever obtained 100% accurate communication when using 9600. You can confirm if the software serials are the issue by setting up a test sketch that uses the hardware serial. If this works you know the software serial is the culprit. If hardware serial gives the same errors then the problem lies elsewhere.

Sketch uses 3,282 bytes (10%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes. Global variables use 361 bytes (17%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,687 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
Hi Martyn, trying to use your code for the Arduino, I failed. The compiling of your code itself runs smooth. When uploading I get error messages. During upload the ESP8266 is disconnected from Arduino. The code is not transferred to the Arduino.

Error messages after upload try:. warning: espcommsync failed error: espcommopen failed error: espcommuploadmem failed error: espcommuploadmem failed.
Do you have any idea what this could come from? Thank you in advance and regards Martin. I wired up an esp201 module that I had. It still actually an esp8266 but in a slightly different form factor. I ended having to use your guide along with another. When I go into the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE I get both the “Remember” message and on the next line it returns “Ready”. While all of that is good and well I’m getting zero response from any AT commands.
Perhaps it’s because I’m running the IDE on OS Xi though I’m not really sure why that would matter as it has always seen my ch340 serial to USB. I’m curious what settings are you using under tools? Is the nano is ESP selected? Are you using ArduinoISP or Arduino as ISP? When the Esp8266 first starts it prints out a welcome message at 76800. If you are receiving this the the connection from ESP8266 TX to Arduino RX is OK.

The welcome message can be ignored. If you are not getting replies then it is likely the ESP8266 is not getting the AT commands and this would indicate that the connection Arduino TX to ESP8266 RX is not correct. Double check the connections, especially the resistors in the voltage divider, make sure they are the correct values and the right way around.Then try the sketch at different baud rates starting again at 9600.
