ESP8266 AT Commands

[keejay]

Hi,

I am using the WLAN component (ESP8266). There are some AT commands that I need to send that are not accommodated for with this component. I guess one can use the "Sendstring" macro to send the required AT commands? How could I receive the reply from the ESP8266 once a command has been send out as there doesn't seem to be a "Readstring" macro like there is in the GSM component. Any ideas?

Hello,

The SendString macro can be used to send a command to the module. The GetByteWithTimeout can be used to collect the reply a byte at a time. We could add another function to return a string if that would be useful.

Hi Benj,

Thanks for the reply. Adding that as a function would be very useful yes. I'm sending some AT instructions to the ESP module and would like to see it's response/reply in the form of a $tring.

Thanks Benj

Hi Benj,

Have you managed to make any progress on adding a function to the ESP8266 component w.r.t. to returning a string response from the ESP8266?
