esp8266 Uno Wifi

This project runs on esp8266 and provides serial bridge services for uno,The first time you need to use the serial port to upload the sketch to esp8266.Then you can use WIFI SerialPort like using USB

you can:

OTA(over the air) upload new sketch to esp8266
OTA(over the air) upload new sketch to UNO(without manual reset uno)
Access the serial port of the uno through web browser
Access uno serial port via TCP
Configuring access points and wifi using web browser
TCP channel(oseppBlock) and up to five WebSocket connections(Browser) receive data at the same time from the uno serial port
Control your robot using a web browser on any device anywhere

ESP8266 will have two IP addresses,depending on your network connection If your esp8266 is connected to the router and your device is also connected to the router, then you should access it with the IP address assigned by the router to ESP8266. The format of the IP address is usually 192.168.1.? If your device accesses ESP8266's WIFI access point then you should use 192.168.4.1 to access it No matter how you connect, they are all equivalent

esp8266 Uno Wifi

1. setup esp8266

Load sketch EspUnoWifi.ino using arduino IDE
install ESP8266 into your Arduino IDE
installarduinoWebSocketsArduino Libraries
Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries
Search websockets and install WebSockets by Markus Sattler
How to Install a Library
Set your router SSID and password in the sketch(You can skip this step and then setting it in web browser)
const char default_router_ssid[] = "YourRouterSSID";//your router ssid
const char default_router_pswd[] = "YourRouterPassword";//your router password
upload this project to ESP8266 via Serial port You need a UNO, don't switch on the power first,Connect them like this

ESP-01S UNO

RX RX

TX TX

IO0 GND

GND GND

3V3 3V3

Reset-->GND

Now connect UNO and computer via USB.Since we connect UNO's Reset to GND, UNO is now bypassed.Esp-01's IO0 is connected to GND, so ESP01 enters the bootloader,use arduino IDE to upload the program will enter esp-01
- Tool->Board->Generic ESP8266 Module
- Tool->Flash Size->1M(no SPIFFS)
- Tool->Port->your serial com port
- click upload
- If you fail, it may be that esp8266 does not enter bootloader mode, unplug the 3V3 from Uno, inserts it again after about 3 seconds, and then upload again

ESP-01S	UNO
RX	RX
TX	TX
IO0	GND
GND	GND
3V3	3V3
	Reset-->GND

2. setup Access point & connect to your router

If you have already set the router SSID and password in step 1, you can skip this step

Connect the power supply for ESP8266(just 3v3,gnd,rx,tx)
Log in to the access point WIFI-ESP-SERIAL-xxxxxx with any wifi-capable device and use the password oseppesp
Use a web browser to open URL: http://192.168.4.1/netstat
Select your router access point at WIFI SSID and fill your router password in WIFI Password and chick nearby update button,esp8266 will restart so you will lose wifi connection,Wait a moment then re-Connect to the access point open URL: http://192.168.4.1/netstat again.For unknown reasons, usually you will see the IP address is 0.0.0.0, then you need to manually reset the ESP8266 to make it connect to the route correctly...
If ESP8266 has successfully connected to your router then it will show an IP address at the bottom of the page.
Set a new esp8266 access point name and password for security,Fill in AP SSID, and AP PSWD,Password is at least 8 letters or it will not work,Click nearby update button.

3. Connect esp8266 to uno

ESP-01s	uno
RX	TX
TX	RX
3V3	3v3
GND	GND
IO2	reset

Nodemcu	uno
RX	TX
TX	RX
VIN	5V
GND	GND
D4	reset

4. upload sketch to uno via OTA

Tool->Board->Arduino Uno WiFi You can't use Uno WiFi features just to be able to use arduino OTA
Tool->Port->Network ports->your network device
click upload
If you see the following text, the upload was successful

Resetting the board
Waiting for the upload to start
OSEPP Esp8266 for UnoOTA, SYNC OK!184705
Uploading the sketch
Upload done! Flash used:2806 bytes
Sketch uploaded successfully
Resetting the board

5. upload sketch to esp8266(esp-01s) via OTA

Tool->Board->Generic ESP8266 Module
Tool->Flash Size->1M(no SPIFFS)
Tool->Port->Network ports->network device
click upload

6. Web browser Serial monitor

Open the URL in web browser:http://[esp8266 ip you see in port list or 192.168.4.1]?baudrate=115200 note:You can specify the baud rate of the serial port by appending ?baudrate=nnnnn to any url.
Upload a sketch with serial output to UNO,according to #4

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.println(millis());
  delay(1000);
}

You will see the serial data displayed in the web browser
You can try to send msg to uno, reset uno

7. Using arduinoOTA and TCP Serial Monitors in oseppBlock

Select the network device in the port list, or fill in the IP address.
Click on the upload icon to upload the sketch to UNO via OTA
Click on the connection icon, you can see the following window, the same as the USB connection

8. Virtual Joystick

Open http://[esp8266 ip address]/joy in web browser phone, ipad, computer, any browser supporting HTML5
Add ?baudrate=nnnnnn at the end of the URL to set the baud rate you want like http://192.168.0.88/joy?baudrate=115200
Use mouse, or touch the screen with your finger and drag, support multi-touch (2 points)
In oseppBlock, you can use Block
Remote [Joy Channel]
Remote Timeout[*]
To receive data and processing
In the Arduino IDE, you can use our OseppRemote library
