Arduino – WiFi communication (ESP8266)

1. 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()
   {
   Serial.begin(9600);
   esp8266.begin(115200); // your esp’s baud rate might be different

   pinMode(8,OUTPUT);
   digitalWrite(8,LOW);

   pinMode(6,OUTPUT);
   digitalWrite(6,LOW);

   pinMode(9,OUTPUT);
   digitalWrite(9,LOW);

   Serial.println(sendData(“AT+RST\r\n”,2000,DEBUG)); // reset module
   Serial.println(sendData(“AT+CWMODE=2\r\n”,1000,DEBUG)); // configure as access point AP=2, STA=1, 3=BOTH
   Serial.println(sendData(“AT+CIFSR\r\n”,1000,DEBUG)); // get ip address
   Serial.println(sendData(“AT+CIPMUX=1\r\n”,1000,DEBUG)); // configure for multiple connections
   Serial.println(sendData(“AT+CIPSERVER=1,80\r\n”,1000,DEBUG)); // turn on server on port 80
   }

   void loop()
   {
   /* String t;
   while (esp8266.available())
   {
   t+=(char)esp8266.read();//read byte,convert to char and append it to string
   }//end while

   Serial.println(t);
   delay(2000);
   if (t.length())
   { // if string is not empty
   if (t==”/?on”)
   {
   digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
   Serial.write(“LED is ON \n”);
   }//end if
   else if (t==”+IPD,0,457=GET /?off HTTP/1.1″)
   {
   digitalWrite(9, LOW);
   Serial.write(“LED is OFF \n”);
   }

   }//end if
   */

   if(esp8266.available()) // check if the esp is sending a message
   {

   if(esp8266.find(“+IPD,”))//+IPD,
   {

   // get the connection id so that we can then disconnect

   // the ASCII decimal value and 0 (the first decimal number) starts at 48

2. Something is missing at the begining of this code:
   #include … ???

3. Hi Leopoldo,

   No, nothing is missing.

5. 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
