Wow!

I just bought a couple of these modules a week ago and find they are really amazing (I have just ordered 2 Es-07 now to have more available pins and play with them) In my case I needed to use them as a serial to wifi modem so I work with the AT version, but would like to use it for other cases.

Have seen a lot of doc in the web, but still don't have it totally clear. Do you think the LUA firmware version is the best for self-contained apps?

These modules/chips will make IOT explode soon

With Lua can not use a microprocessor and it's a big +++ :)
I make transparent bridge UDP<-->UART on Lua
B4X:
--Init.lua
PORT=7777 pin=3
gpio.mode(pin, gpio.INPUT)
tmr.alarm(1,5000, 1, function()
if wifi.ap.getip()~=nil  then
if gpio.read(pin)==1 then
tmr.stop(1) print("WIFI_UDP_RS232 V1.1 06.01.2015")
else
tmr.stop(1) print("Telnet V1.1") dofile("telnet.lua")
end end end)
uart.setup( 0,9600, 8, 0, 1, 0 )
srv=net.createServer(net.UDP)
srv:on("receive", function(srv, pl) tmr.wdclr() uart.write(0,pl) end)
srv:listen(PORT) uart.on("data",0,function(data)srv:send(data)end, 0)

I like these tiny modules.

BTW, for the moment I am still more "fluent" with Microchip's PICs but I must admit that hte price and the power of these devices are a must

Bravo

Well I have just ordered one of these modules. I have choosen the 01 version with standard firmware.

For your application did you reflash the firmware ? and which one did you choose ?

thanks

Thanks for the link.

BTW I have seen that this module has a SPI bus embeded.
Do you know if there is a simple way to use this bus instead of the RS232 one ?

LUA for esp8266 have module for SPI over GPIO. You may use it.

Hi again,

I have finshed a small app to control RGB LedStrip.

As you can see I would like to remove my MCU board and use the ESP8266 module instead.
My wish is to use SPI master mode.
I have not yet the ESP module (China is far away from France !)
I have read the nodeMCU API and it seems that the clock control is not yet available

spi.setup()
Description
setup spi configuration.

Syntax
spi.setup( id, mode, cpol, cpha, databits, clock )

Parameters
id: spi id number.
mode: MASTER or SLAVE(not supported yet).
cpol: CPOL_LOW or CPOL_HIGH, clock polarity.
cpha: CPHA_HIGH or CPHA_LOW, clock phase.
databits: DATABITS_8 or DATABITS_16.
clock: spi clock (not supported yet).

Do you have an idea of the current clock frequency ?
When they say that spi clock is not supported does it mean that there is no clock or a fixed one ?

I do need a clock for these Leds...

Thanks again

Thank you

This sounds good !
I only need MOSI and Clock in master mode.
GPIO12 - MISO
GPIO13 - MOSI
GPIO14 - CLK
GPIO15 - CS (with an 10k pulldown to ground so the ESP8266 will boot up)

So GPIO13 and GPIO14 will be enough.

Could you please give me a link on how to upload this LUA firmware to the device.
I am a little confused with the documentation... Absolute beginner for this board !

Thanks a lot for the zip

I am still waiting for the device...

I have read that it would be possible to increase the baud rate above 115200. Did you try it ?

Another question : if I flasjh the nodeMCU firmware, is it possible to go back to the original one ?

Yes, I try it. 115200 work OK.

Yes, You can go back.

Good news. NodeMCU (Lua) support MQTT. I try it. :)

Did you try more than 115200 bauds (I mean 230400 or more ?)

I ordered my ESP 21 days ago... sooo long !

Hi again,

I finally got my ESP8266 and spent a lot of time with it :)

Currently I have played with AT firmware and successfuly communicated via TCP
I have also flashed lua, read all the post and found you here : http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=904 (well was easy !)

I have also installed the windows C environment ans successfuly compiled examples (but API is not easy for me)

SO I jumped back to Lua and tried to play with it.
My feeling is that it is quite easy to have something working
But the speed is not very fast (interpreted language) and thus not relevant for my use case (where high speed SPI is needed)

Well I wil go on playing with this chip for some IOT sensors.

Hi !
You can try node.compile() for fast work programm. I'm doing relay control via the Internet (2G/3G).MQTT broker iot.eclipse.org.Work ОК.

thank you for the trick "node.compile()". I will try it

I must say that these devices are incredibly powerfull for the price !
