All I have found on signal strength is this: AT + CWLAP Response Successful return AP list + CWLAP: <ecn>, <ssid>, <rssi> [, <mode>] OK Or Fails, the return ERROR Description Response parameters: <Ecn> 0 OPEN 1 WEP 2 WPA_PSK 3 WPA2_PSK 4 WPA_WPA2_PSK <Ssid> string parameter, the access point name <R...

Also, is there a function to read signal strength from the module? If so that would be nice to have a macro for

I thought I would just add that: yes it is connected to my home wifi and is able to access the internet. I just don't know how to get it to send data to my mySQL server.

Ok I got it up and running now :) But just a quick question/request. How can I make it send a request like this: http://www.domain.com/in.php?temperature01=10 Do I first have to connect to www.domain.com on port 80? any example would be great, maybe an example of using POST instead of GET as well. T...

I see. I'll check with my scope tomorrow. I have the same ones from electro dragon so I guess I will have to use 115200.

This is all rather new to me, the baud calculations. Haven't had to mess with it before so I have no idea if the K80 devices have different calculation requirements

I tried the new UART file with my PIC18F26K80 and a 20Mhz crystal. It didn't work. I changed the baud rate to 38400 which with the new calculation would give a result of 32.05208
But maybe It has to be 115200 baud rate?

I'll try again tomorrow when I get my new 18.432Mhz crystals

Sure I can do that.

I think it would be a nice display for simple graphics and text without having to use 16 bit parallel interface and use up a bunch of IO pins.
I'll have it sent directly to you once I order it.

Thanks.

Sure I get that I was just curious, not suggesting any changes

Ok, but will there be similar issues with other serial comms at the 115200 baud rate? or is this ESP8266 chip less tolerant against deviations from set baud rate?

Thanks Ben. How come the baud rate is this "finicky" and requires this "special" crystal frequency?

Ben, you said you had the RST pin connected to VCC, so how should we configure the component? Set it as hardware or software reset? Shouldn't the reset pin option under properties be grayed out if we choose software reset? I have ordered a couple of 18.432 Mhz crystals now so I hope to get it up and...

I have seen the 4D displays but the price is kind of keeping me from going down that road.

I to get AP Fail. Tested with Reset connected to VCC and to the MCU but same result.

However I do see an AP named ESP_992153 using the app Wifi Analyzer on my phone. It is broadcasting on channel 1.

I will try to get my hands on a 18.432MHz crystal and try again.

Looking at the datasheet for the RA8875 it looks to be plenty of nice features, like commands for drawing different graphics/shapes etc. Should make it easier to create a powerful display component and it should make it quite useful for 8 bit MCUs. http://www.buydisplay.com/default/color-8-inch-lcd-...

That's strange odd. I didn't know this and have been running 48Mhz and 3.3V for about a year on all my projects that I usually test out on a few PIC18F4550 standard DIP40 chips :) I really should try this on some other hardware because I rarely use 5V anymore as most other ICs tend to use 3.3V or lo...

I only used 3.3V for all pins. The pic is using the same power supply as well. I didn't even get the LEDs to light up

Anyone have any luck with this component on an 8 bit PIC?

yes I tried that too

cheers

I have tried the Ping program on my PIC18F4550 but no go. I can't get the two LEDs to show link/activity and I've connected it as per the instructions, tried switching the MISO/MOSI around, nothing. Tried swapping SCK to CLK and all combinations but still nothing. Am I doing anything wrong in the se...

I have tried both hardware channel 1 SPI and software, tried switching MISO/MOSI on both, I have tried CS on other pins than A5 but I thought I would try A5 as well. No difference. No worries, I can wait for the component. I'm sure it will be more clear to me how it all works then as it is quite con...

sure.
It compiles ok

Still no luck with this, oh well.

That's exactly how I connected it as I am familiar with the MOSI MISO terminology. But I'll have another go when I get home. MASTER__|__SLAVE MCU | ENC _________|_______ MOSI | SI MISO | SO CS | CS CLK | SCK The only thing I thought was a bit confusing was that the ENC28J60 module has one pin labled...

Ok, so SCK/SCL (Can't remember what was printed on the module) is not to be used and I should use CLK instead. got it. Will try when I get home. I don't have any 16 Bit MCU that I can try it on so I have to stick with the PIC18F4550

It will probably work. I only connected:
Vdd
GND
SI
SO
SCK (I also tried to swith to CLK)
CS

The other pins, will not be used? What about the WOL pin for example?

Thanks.
