Using the AT commands above, we can now make a simple HTTP request that will retrieve a web page from a server. Note that these commands must be sent in correct order from the Arduino to the ESP8266 module. If successful, the module will reply with “SEND OK”. After this command, the ESP8266 will reply with the “>” character to tell us that it will be waiting for the data to be sent. If successful, the module will reply with “SEND OK”“0” here is the connection id, and 16 is the length of the data to be sent. “0” here is the connection id, and 16 is the length of the data to be sent. Here, the first parameter (0) is the id of the connection, “TCP” means we’re using TCP instead of UDP, then followed by the address (or ip) of the web server then the port number.Ĭommand to tell the module data is ready to be sent. This returns the IP address of the module, indicating that it has successfully connected to your WiFi router.

Set WiFi mode: 1 is station mode (ESP8266 is client), 2 is AP mode (ESP8266 acts like a WiFi router where your phone or PC can connect), 3 is AP+station mode (make the ESP8266 do both)Ĭonnect to your WiFi. Multiple connection is a good option if you are repeatedly sending out or reading data from the Internet. AT+CIPMUX = 1Įnable single (0) or multiple connection (1) to the web server. A more thorough explanation of each command may be found on our ESP8266 AT commands list. For our purpose, which is to connect to the Internet, we need only a specific set of AT commands. The whole list of AT commands is overwhelming. This AT or Hayes commands are a set of commands not only used by the ESP8266 but also by other modems like GSM, Bluetooth and GPRS.

Now that we’ve connected the ESP8266 module to the Arduino, it’s time to send out special commands through the Arduino’s (software) serial port. This presents another disadvantage of this setup: you must have an extra supply instead of just using your computer’s USB port. Also note that for the ESP8266 module to run correctly, it must have its own 3.3V, 250 mA power supply.

In the diagram above, I used a simple voltage divider to reduce the 5 V logic levels.

Thus, we must not connect the Arduino output pins to the ESP8266 pins directly. The ESP8266 module, specifically the ESP-01 module, runs on 3.3 V. The ESP8266 module will act as our modem, establishing a connection to your WiFi router in order to send/receive data to/from the web. To make the Arduino connect to the Internet, it needs a modem. As you know, the Arduino UNO, Mega or Nano doesn’t have any networking capabilities.
