2.1 ESP8266 library installation
An open-source library is available on github : https://github.com/itead/ITEADLIB_Arduino_WeeESP8266
1 – Download ZIP :
2 – Import the new library :
2.2 Library parameter
As we use the ESP8266 module with a SoftwareSerial connection, we need to edit the ESP8266.H file.
This file is available in :

Uncomment the following line as below :

2.4 Result
hello i have esp8266 module and arduino ethernet and i need to connect from my android mobile direct via wifi to esp8266 and after connection send values from my mobile to open one led from my mobile…i have esp8266 AP mode my code working but after press sometimes one button from my android app the led is light on and light of but sometimes stuck…. can help me? my code is:
#include
#define DEBUG true
SoftwareSerial esp8266(11,10); // make RX Arduino line is pin 11, make TX Arduino line is pin 10.
// This means that you need to connect the TX line from the esp to the Arduino’s pin 11
// and the RX line from the esp to the Arduino’s pin 10
void setup()
{

esp8266.begin(115200); // your esp’s baud rate might be different

Something is missing at the begining of this code:
#include … ???
Hi Leopoldo,
No, nothing is missing.
I followed your tutorial to the letter, but it doesn’t work for me. My monitor keeps repeating itself:
16:07:30.087 -> Serial connection setup [DONE]
16:07:30.087 -> WiFi setup [START]
16:07:40.106 -> WiFi setup [AP ERR]
16:08:00.128 -> WiFi setup [START]
16:08:10.163 -> WiFi setup [AP ERR]
16:08:30.144 -> WiFi setup [START]
16:08:40.174 -> WiFi setup [AP ERR]
The SSID and the password are correct (I double-double checked). What could be wrong? Thanks
